@peterwsinger I believe the phrases were Uber Menschen, but if there are Uber, I also recall they had to have a phrase for the lesser humans, what was it, Unter Menschen, which ended very badly for millions upon millions.
Please help me connect w/ any of the authors who may be here: Kenneth Estes, Scott Mobley, Rick Ruth, Kristy Kamarck, Joe Stanink, Earnie Tucker, David Winkler, Stan Fisher, Davin O'Hora, William Trimble, @hagerott. https://t.co/tOPN9uJB9Q
Hagerott at the White House speaking on themes like the increasing interconnectedness of society. "Summits can serve as a catalyst for action to address this urgent challenge, especially with our state’s advanced energy and ag industries which are progressively digitizing.”
I enjoyed meeting with @NDUnivSystem Chancellor @hagerott.
We discussed North Dakota’s leading role in the development of unmanned aircraft systems, cybersecurity threats and defense challenges in a growing digital world.
“To catalyze the transition from a postindustrial economy, where many are left behind, to an inclusive digital economy,” @hagerott writes, the United States needs a “nationwide Digital-Cyber Land Grant university system.” https://t.co/MkdmaDFBLH
Congress is considering expanding selective service to include women. Universal conscription, Brad Allenby and @hagerott argued in ISSUES, could help make national defense more robust and democratic. https://t.co/j1ofQx0p2b
@peterwsinger Similar in North/South Dakota/eastern Montana...is it the unfolding of an epic drought? Prairie fires increasing in frequency (but manageable in comparison to forest fires that threaten mountain states). If locusts return, then it just may be a time warp to the 1930s
Honored to be interviewed about the cyber, digital arms race in The Daily Caller by James Pinkerton. The stakes couldn't be higher. https://t.co/aEV3I4G5X0
Honored to be published in "Issues in Sci and Tech", a collaborative effort of National Academies of Sci/Eng/Med...and join several national scholars and technologists as we envision the Post-Covid world: https://t.co/uDcBfGhniz
COVID has shifted massive wealth to digital companies, and impoverished multitudes of human-centric labor force. My presentation to college audience on how to frame these events in the sweep of history, and what can we do... https://t.co/mjXgFkj7K8
My latest thinkpiece on how COVID accelerates digital transformation of America and a problem that looms large. If leadership classes take no action, successive generations may pay a high price in devitalized humancentric systems, human culture & life.

Priority 1: Protect Nurses. My grandpa talked tearfully of 1919Spanish Flu, and how many nurses died. He would say today: social distance for our nurses. As CEO only I come to work, staff all work via tech. I also ditch gym for walks on our NDak family farm (Ann took the photo)
