The BRICS Summit Should Mark the End of Neocon Delusions COPY FROM EMAIL

The BRICS Summit Should Mark the End of Neocon Delusions

Jeffrey D. Sachs   |   November 2, 2024   |   Common Dreams

Simply put, the majority of the world does not want or accept U.S. hegemony, and is prepared to face it down rather than submit to its dictates.
 

The recent BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia should mark the end of the Neocon delusions encapsulated in the subtitle of Zbigniew Brzezinski’s 1997 book, The Global Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives. Since the 1990s, the goal of American foreign policy has been “primacy,” aka global hegemony. The U.S. methods of choice have been wars, regime change operations, and unilateral coercive measures (economic sanctions). Kazan brought together 35 countries with more than half the world population that reject the U.S. bullying and that are not cowed by U.S. claims of hegemony.
 

In the Kazan Declaration, the countries underscored “the emergence of new centres of power, policy decision-making and economic growth, which can pave the way for a more equitable, just, democratic and balanced multipolar world order.” They emphasized "the need to adapt the current architecture of international relations to better reflect the contemporary realities,” while declaring their “commitment to multilateralism and upholding the international law, including the Purposes and Principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations (UN) as its indispensable cornerstone.” They took particular aim at the sanctions imposed by the U.S. and its allies, holding that “Such measures undermine the UN Charter, the multilateral trading system, the sustainable development and environmental agreements.”
 

The neocon quest for global hegemony has deep historical roots in America’s belief in its exceptionalism. In 1630, John Winthrop invoked the Gospels in describing the Massachusetts Bay Colony as a “City on the Hill,” declaring grandiosely that “The eyes of all people are upon us.” In the 19th century, America was guided by Manifest Destiny, to conquer North America by displacing or exterminating the native peoples. In the course of World War II, Americans embraced the idea of the “American Century,” that after the war the U.S. would lead the world.
 

The U.S. delusions of grandeur were supercharged with the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991. With America’s Cold War nemesis gone, the ascendant American neoconservatives conceived of a new world order in which the U.S. was the sole superpower and the policeman of the world. Their foreign policy instruments of choice were wars and regime-change operations to overthrow governments they disliked.
 

Following 9/11, the neocons planned to overthrow seven governments in the Islamic world, starting with Iraq, and then moving on to Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. According to Wesley Clark, former Supreme Commander of NATO, the neocons expected the U.S. to prevail in these wars in 5 years. Yet now, more than 20 years on, the neocon-instigated wars continue while the U.S. has achieved absolutely none of its hegemonic objectives.
 

The neocons reasoned back in the 1990s that no country or group of countries would ever dare to stand up to U.S. power. Brzezinski, for example, argued in The Grand Chessboard that Russia would have no choice but to submit to the U.S.-led expansion of NATO and the geopolitical dictates of the U.S. and Europe, since there was no realistic prospect of Russia successfully forming an anti-hegemonic coalition with China, Iran and others. As Brzezinski put it:
 

“Russia’s only real geostrategic option—the option that could give Russia a realistic international role and also maximize the opportunity of transforming and socially modernizing itself—is Europe. And not just any Europe, but the transatlantic Europe of the enlarging EU and NATO.” (emphasis added, Kindle edition, p. 118)
 

Brzezinski was decisively wrong, and his misjudgment helped to lead to the disaster of the war in Ukraine. Russia did not simply succumb to the U.S. plan to expand NATO to Ukraine, as Brzezinski assumed it would. Russia said a firm no, and was prepared to wage war to stop the U.S. plans. As a result of the neocon miscalculations vis-à-vis Ukraine, Russia is now prevailing on the battlefield, and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are dead.
 

Nor—and this is the plain message from Kazan—did U.S. sanctions and diplomatic pressures isolate Russian in the least. In response to pervasive U.S. bullying, an anti-hegemonic counterweight has emerged. Simply put, the majority of the world does not want or accept U.S. hegemony, and is prepared to face it down rather than submit to its dictates. Nor does the U.S. anymore possess the economic, financial, or military power to enforce its will, if it ever did.
 

The countries that assembled in Kazan represent a clear majority of the world’s population. The nine BRICS members (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa as the original five, plus Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates), in addition to the delegations of 27 aspiring members, constitute 57 percent of the world’s population and 47 percent of the world’s output (measured at purchasing-power adjusted prices). The U.S., by contrast, constitutes 4.1 percent of the world population and 15 percent of world output. Add in the U.S. allies, and the population share of the U.S.-led alliance is around 15 percent of the global population.
 

The BRICS will gain in relative economic weight, technological prowess, and military strength in the years ahead. The combined GDP of the BRICS countries is growing at around 5 percent per annum, while the combined GDP of the U.S. and its allies in Europe and the Asia-Pacific is growing at around 2 percent per annum.
 

Even with their growing clout, however, the BRICS can’t replace the U.S. as a new global hegemon. They simply lack the military, financial, and technological power to defeat the U.S. or even to threaten its vital interests. The BRICS are in practice calling for a new and realistic multipolarity, not an alternative hegemony in which they are in charge.
 

American strategists should heed the ultimately positive message coming from Kazan. Not only has the neocon quest for global hegemony failed, it has been a costly disaster for the US and the world, leading to bloody and pointless wars, economic shocks, mass displacements of populations, and rising threats of nuclear confrontation. A more inclusive and equitable multipolar world order offers a promising path out of the current morass, one that can benefit the U.S. and its allies as well as the nations that met in Kazan.
 

The rise of the BRICS is therefore not merely a rebuke to the U.S., but also a potential opening for a far more peaceful and secure world order. The multipolar world order envisioned by the BRICS can be a boon for all countries, including the United States. Time has run out on the neocon delusions, and the U.S. wars of choice. The moment has arrived for a renewed diplomacy to end the conflicts raging around the world.

 Learning is a never-ending road, and excellence is a challenge without an end.

Train people to know their strengths and train them to know their weaknesses.

Let’s meet to recharge and keep learning.

Life

Learning for yourself is growth; learning for others is improvement.

Opportunities favor a prepared mind.

In your career, you can only achieve success by working hard; in work, you must have methods and rules.

In today's rapidly growing industrial competition, professionals who are unwilling to learn will face the fact of being eliminated from competition. Today, learning has become a necessary window and channel for self-improvement for every working person, rather than a choice.

Everything depends on mentality. Changing mentality changes life; it is not experience that shapes us, but the way each person responds to experience. Good intentions are encouragement, malice is motivation. Encouragement can make people progress; motivation can make people work hard.

Only business owners who actively cultivate talents for their own use can eventually achieve hegemony and dominate the world.

If you are a business owner, you have always thought that you can dig out talents and buy employees if you have money.

Then many companies won’t have to go to great lengths to find headhunters.

Everyone will eventually find out

An enterprise is a business that conquers the world by recruiting talents

Hardware facilities that can be purchased for money

Only basic equipment in the enterprise

Once people discover

When your employees are often incompetent,

No matter how many beautiful plans and marketing you have, it will still be the same

It creates a negative impression of your business in the minds of customers

You can only face the market with price

Because you have never sincerely maintained the value of your brand in the minds of customers.

 Let's learn and grow together with GCIOSGF and become the irreplaceable one!

學習是永無止境的道路，卓越是沒有終點的挑戰。

訓人知所長，練人之所短。

相約充電，不斷學習。

人生

為自己學習，是成長；為他人學習，是精進 。

機會，青睞有準備的心理。

職涯，只有努力，才能爭氣；工作，要有方法，才有章法。

身處當下快速成長的產業競爭，不肯學習的職場人將面臨競爭淘汰的事實。如今，學習已經是每位職場人必備的自我提昇窗口與管道，而非選擇。

任何事情取決於心態，改變心態就改變生命；刑塑我們的不是經驗，是每個人回應經驗的方式。善意是鼓勵、惡意是激勵。鼓勵能使人進步；激勵能使人奮發圖強。

有積極在培育自用人才的企業主,終究才能成就霸業君臨天下。

如果企業主您一直以為,有錢就能挖到人才、有錢就能買到員工。

那很多企業也不用那麼費勁找獵頭了。

大家終究會發現

企業是得人才得天下的事業

花錢就能搞定的硬體設施

在企業只是基本的配備

一但人們發現

當你的員工常常無能，

縱使你有再多多好多美的方案及行銷也是一樣

在顧客心中對您的企業就是負評

您就只能以價格去面對市場

因為您從未真心地去維護您的品牌在顧客心中的價值。

和GCIOSGF一起學習成長吧，成為那個不可替代的唯一！

Yesterday, World Weather Attribution celebrated its 10-year anniversary today! 

Led by Imperial’s Dr. Fredi Otto, the international team of scientists study how climate change influences heatwaves, storms, floods, wildfires and droughts. 

Think of them like detectives – in the immediate aftermath of extreme weather events, they assess the evidence, then determine the impact that climate change had on the disaster. 

In doing so, they’ve helped millions of people understand that climate change is not a distant threat, but an urgent reality.

昨天，世界氣候研究慶祝成立十週年！ 

由倫敦帝國大學弗雷迪·奧托博士領導的國際科學家團隊研究氣候變遷如何影響熱浪、風暴、洪水、野火和乾旱。 

他們是偵探——極端天氣事件發生後，他們立即評估證據，然後確定氣候變遷對災難的影響。 

經由他們的研究查證比對，已幫助成千上萬的人了解氣候變遷不是一個遙遠的威脅，而是一個緊迫的現實。

Ranked: The World’s Most Innovative Countries in 2024

This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

The Global Innovation Index (GII) 2024, published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), ranks 133 economies based on their innovation capabilities and performance. This year's report highlights shifts in global innovation leadership, with a focus on emerging economies challenging traditional leaders .

To summarize the results of this year’s GII, we visualized each economy’s score using a global heatmap. Lower scores are shown as darker shades of blue, transitioning to green and then yellow as score increases.

Methodology

The GII measures each economy based on seven underlying innovation pillars, which altogether comprise 78 indicators. These are summarized in the table below:

Innovation Pillar Example Indicators

👨‍💻 Knowledge & Tech Outputs Patent applications, Hi-tech manufacturing

👩‍🏫 Human Capital & Research Researchers per million population, Global corporate R&D investors

🧳 Business Sophistication Knowledge-intensive employment, University-industry R&D collaboration

📈 Market Sophistication Finance for startups, Venture capital received

💡 Creative Outputs Trademark applications, Global brand value

🛣️ Infrastructure Environmental performance, Information and communication technology access

🏛️ Institutions Regulatory quality, Policies for doing business

The overall GII scores (which are what we’ve shown in the graphic above) are based on the average scores from these seven pillars.

Most Innovative Countries in 2024

The following table includes all of the data we used to create this graphic. For the 14th consecutive year, Switzerland was named the world’s most innovative country.

Rank Name Score

1 🇨🇭 Switzerland 67.5

2 🇸🇪 Sweden 64.5

3 🇺🇸 U.S. 62.4

4 🇸🇬 Singapore 61.2

5 🇬🇧 UK 61

6 🇰🇷 South Korea 60.9

7 🇫🇮 Finland 59.4

8 🇳🇱 Netherlands 58.8

9 🇩🇪 Germany 58.1

10 🇩🇰 Denmark 57.1

11 🇨🇳 China 56.3

12 🇫🇷 France 55.4

13 🇯🇵 Japan 54.1

14 🇨🇦 Canada 52.9

15 🇮🇱 Israel 52.7

16 🇪🇪 Estonia 52.3

17 🇦🇹 Austria 50.3

18 🇭🇰 Hong Kong 50.1

19 🇮🇪 Ireland 50

20 🇱🇺 Luxembourg 49.1

PreviousNext

Similar to last year, the U.S. takes third place in the GII. It ranked the highest in Market Sophistication (#1) and Business Sophistication (#2), but its overall score was dragged down by its lower rank in Infrastructure (#30) .

A key theme of this year’s GII is innovation overperformers, which are countries that perform above expectations relative to their level of development.

The top three in this regard are India, Moldova, and Vietnam. All three of these economies have overperformed over the past 14 years since 2011.

Other Key Takeaways

The GII 2024 also provides insight into the current state of global innovation. Here are some of the highlights:

Technological progress: The rate of progress in green technologies is lagging behind average growth for the decade. A key challenge here is reducing the energy consumption of supercomputers.

Technology adoption: 5G, robotics, and electric vehicles are all seeing increased penetration levels.

Socioeconomic impact: The GII reports mixed progress, partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, levels of poverty are higher than those recorded in 2018, while life expectancy remains at 2015 levels.

排名：2024 年全球最具創新力國家

這最初發佈在我們的 Voronoi 應用程式上。在 iOS 或 Android 上免費下載該應用程序，並從各種可信任來源發現令人難以置信的數據驅動圖表。

世界智慧財產權組織（WIPO）發布的2024年全球創新指數（GII）根據133個經濟體的創新能力和表現對它們進行了排名。今年的報告強調了全球創新領導力的轉變，並著重於新興經濟體對傳統領導者的挑戰。

為了總結今年 GII 的結果，我們使用全球熱圖視覺化了每個經濟體的得分。較低的分數顯示為深藍色，隨著分數的增加，逐漸變為綠色，然後變為黃色。

方法論

GII 根據七個基本創新支柱來衡量每個經濟體，總共包含 78 個指標。這些總結如下表：

創新支柱範例指標

👨‍💻知識與技術輸出專利申請、高科技製造

👩‍🏫 每百萬人口中的人力資本與研究人員、全球企業研發投資者

🧳 商業成熟度 知識密集就業、產學合作

📈 市場成熟度 新創企業融資，獲得創投

💡創意輸出商標申請、全球品牌價值

🛣️基礎設施環境績效、資訊與通訊技術接入

🏛️ 機構監管品質、營商政策

GII 總分（如上圖）是基於這七個支柱的平均得分。

2024 年最具創新力國家

上一頁下一頁

與去年類似，美國在 GII 中排名第三。它在市場複雜度（#1）和業務複雜度（#2）方面排名最高，但其整體得分因基礎設施（#30）排名較低而受到拖累。

今年全球創新指數的關鍵主題是創新表現優異的國家，這些國家的發展水準高於預期。

這方面排名前三的分別是印度、摩爾多瓦和越南。自 2011 年以來的過去 14 年裡，這三個經濟體都表現優異。

其他要點

GII 2024 也深入了解了全球創新的現狀。以下是一些亮點：

技術進步：綠色科技的進步速度落後於十年來的平均成長率。這裡的一個關鍵挑戰是降低超級電腦的能耗。

技術採用：5G、機器人和電動車的滲透率都在不斷提高。

社會經濟影響：GII 報告的進展好壞參半，部分原因是 COVID-19 大流行。例如，貧窮水準高於 2018 年，而預期壽命仍維持在 2015 年水準。

What is a cliquish social circle ?

Merry Reading Time 

Host : WP

 What is a circle , cliquish social circle ?

In short, it is derived from the sociological law of “birds of a feather flock together” - people with the same socioeconomic status, similar hobbies and tastes gather together to form a “subculture circle”. Groups that have the same expectations for life and have a sense of type, values, and habits are gathered through circles to create a new way of life and convey a kind of life value.

Regarding circles, the earliest typical representative in China should be Mencius’ mother. She moved her residence three times in search of good neighbors. In fact, she just hoped to find a better living circle through the relocation of her house. As a result, she succeeded. Under the influence of many people, Mencius became a famous thinker and educator in ancient China, and a Confucian master second only to Confucius.

A survey report published by the Stanford Research Center stated:

money earned by one person

12.5% ​​comes from knowledge, 87.5% comes from relationships

Networking plays an important role in a person’s achievements.

Churchill once said:

“It was the meditation in painting that saved me”

His neighbor, a painter, asked him to pick up a paintbrush

Started the journey of being a painter

So it doesn’t matter who you are

What matters is who you are with

One sentence expresses the power of circles

Circles make dreams become reality

Circles attract like-minded people

The development of the times is like waves, rolling forward and gaining momentum while retreating. With the development of science and technology, business models continue to innovate, and consumption patterns gradually shift from the mass consumption economy to the niche economy, which is now called the circle economy.

Based on the different age groups, industry fields, lifestyles, and values, the criteria for judging quality, the degree of emotional perception, and the pursuit of personality are all very different. Therefore, we want to create a popular star consumer product to meet the needs of everyone. It is very, very difficult, so the voice of future product demand will come from circles with common interests, attitudes, hobbies, and values.

The classification and standards of circles are not defined. The development of Internet communication has brought together regions and people who once had no intersection with each other. The popularity and progress of Internet social interaction have once again integrated, sorted out and reorganized the mixed parts. Forming circles, independent of each other but interacting with each other.

Circle economy is a trend

In the era of mass consumption, companies competed on scale, production capacity, and brand effect. But now the upgrading of consumption has led to quality and reputation that companies can no longer easily control. The voice of consumers can be heard through their own circles. The spread of the epidemic will eventually create a wave of shock that will hit the enterprise.

One of the biggest current manifestations is that traditional retail and traditional e-commerce are gradually upgrading to new retail. Strive to form a new retail model with a sharing model, sharing economy, altruistic principles, integrating the fragmentation and socialization of consumption, and unifying online and offline. In the future, I believe that this kind of social new retail will be a new “dividend of the times” for a period of time!

The popularity of circle social networking

In fact, it’s not just consumption, our lives are also subtly changing from the masses to the niche.

Social networking, from the era of letters when “cars and horses move slowly”, to mobile social networking through Internet mailboxes, to the popular online fast social networking through FB，line，WeChat, with the rapid development of the Internet, various social software and tools have emerged. The more they are used and popularized in daily life, the more people rely on these software in social interactions, and the more things and people they get to know and come into contact with. Things can be classified, and social interactions can also be divided to a certain extent. Regardless of industry, workplace, outlook on life, interests, etc., they will form their own circles.

Different circles have different values. Being close to the outstanding circles in this industry can become a kind of motivation. When outstanding people gather together, a huge magnetic field will be generated, attracting other people to join and connect.

The value of a circle is not driven entirely by outstanding people, but by people who are close to the circle. How big the magnetic field of the circle is, how many people it can influence, how many people identify with the circle, and how powerful the circle is. value.

When most people resonate at the same frequency and let their individual excellence empower and inspire each other, then everyone in the circle will gain value.
