Wouldn’t it be nice if every news bulletin gave us an update on the health of our planet as often as it updates us on the health of the economy?

🇺🇳 Honored to join the #NPT2026 with @unodavienna and #YLF participants to discuss how youth leadership, advocacy, and digital #storytelling can make #disarmament more accessible, human, and connected to today’s global security challenges.

Grateful to share my reflections with @UN_News_Centre during #NPTRevCon on youth, disarmament, and digital storytelling.

At a time of rising nuclear risks, public understanding and youth engagement matter more than ever. 👇🏼

The threat of nuclear Armageddon, a constant worry for many who grew up during the tense decades of the Cold War, is becoming a cause for concern for a growing number of young people.

Hats off to the @semafor team and @Justin_B_Smith for creating a space that brings the right people into the right conversations.

It showed how business, policy, media, and #AI are increasingly connected, & how much potential there is to keep expanding cross-sector dialogue.

[Abdul Mustafazade @abdul_mzade]

Last week at #SemaforWorldEconomy, one message was clear: #AI is no longer a side conversation. It is becoming a CEO-level priority shaping markets, energy, trade, & leadership decisions.

The challenge now is building advantage while staying responsible, human-centered, & ready.

“Diplomacy is not reality TV. The world is not a casino. Statecraft is not a real estate deal.”

@UNReliefChief @TFletcher tells me that as the war with Iran continues to escalate, “We’ll be paying for this war for years to come…

“We’re deeply frustrated… that’s diplomatic speak for saying we’re furious. Because rich people are winning out of this. The arms dealers are winning… And the people I serve are losing.”

@elonmusk Do you think there will ever be a chance that we won’t need to use spacesuits on the Moon?

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

We are entering a trillion-sensor economy, and the truth is society will give up unforeseen amounts of data to AI to make them smarter, healthier, and more powerful. 

Privacy is dead, but in exchange, we get hyperpersonalized systems that understand us like nothing else.

[Abdul Mustafazade @abdul_mzade]

Grateful to contribute to an institution that unites countries & private sector to drive progress where it’s most needed.

At the #IMFMeetings & #WBGMeetings, was reminded that amid shifting geopolitics collaboration remains our strongest path to a resilient, equitable world. 🌍

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

A growing concentration of AI capabilities risks deepening geopolitical divides.

We must prevent a world of AI "haves" and "have-nots".

AI must bridge the gap between developed and developing countries – not widen it.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

The goal of teaching should not be to help the students learn how to memorize and spit out information under academic pressure.

The purpose of teaching is to inspire the desire for learning in them and make them able to think, understand, and question.

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

I'm so proud of the many teams across Apple developing powerful technologies that are improving people’s lives. The Hearing Aid feature on AirPods Pro 2 uses your personalized sound profile so you can hear the moments that matter.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The climate emergency is a story of avoidable injustice.

The rich cause the problem, the poor pay the highest price.

The most vulnerable are being abandoned to climate extremes.

We need climate justice. Now.

Turks dealt President Erdogan and his party their biggest electoral blow in more than two decades in nationwide local voting that reasserted the opposition as a political force https://t.co/cjBOKdxivF

@brendenvarma @UNinWashington Good luck, Mr. Brendan!

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

The problem is not people being uneducated.
The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught
