by Tim Hinchcliffe | The Sociable
World leaders gather on the U.N. Summit of the Future Global Call to advocate for reforming the United Nations and for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under Agenda 2030.
As global shocks become more complex and disruptive, we need emergency platforms that swing into action automatically […] We need an upgraded United Nations that can meet the challenges of a new era — Antonio Guterres, U.N. Summit of the Future Global Call, September 2024
During the global call on Thursday, U.S. President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, and many other heads of state gave brief, pre-recorded speeches expressing their hopes and expectations for the upcoming U.N. Summit of the Future, a “once in a generation” event that will take place September 22-23 in New York.
During the call, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres called for a reformation of the U.N. Security Council, a restructuring of the global financial architecture, and the need to achieve Agenda 2030’s SDGs – an overall message that would be echoed by several heads of state:
Poverty and anger are at crisis levels as the Sustainable Development Goals are slipping out of reach. We have no effective global response to new and even existential threats.

In the live call, Guterres talked about the need to upgrade the United Nations (U.N. 2.0) because the old way of operating was no longer fit for service.
The U.N. secretary general explained that going forward, “The United Nations is in a unique position to act as a platform and a convening space for key stakeholders.”
“We need greater global solidarity today and with future generations, better management of critical issues of global concern, and an upgraded United Nations that can meet the challenges of a new era,” Guterres added.
“We need reforms to the global financial architecture that make it correspond to this global economy and fit to address today’s challenges.”

Concerning emerging technologies like AI, Guterres called for an “agreement on mitigating the risks of weaponizing new technologies,” and for “governments, together with tech companies, academia, and civil society to work together to manage the risks posed by new technologies, including AI, and make sure those technologies benefit everybody.”
“We need to increase the lending capacity of multilateral development banks dramatically and change their business model, so that they can help developing countries to gain far more access to private finance,” he said.

And here comes Elon. That is, Donald. In fact: the same thing. He won the elections. And it brings a way out of the nightmarish threat of global centralization: decentralization with technologies for freedom of choice, not coercion. And it goes like this:

Alexander Chulok, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Director of the (Moscow) HSE Center for Scientific and Technological Forecasting (2021):
“I think the attitude to technology itself will change dramatically in the next 10 years. Generations will be updated, for the new ones — the Internet is not a miracle, and smart watches are not a gadget. It’s all already part of their life as a shirt. It is not so important whether it will be embedded in the body or in clothes. Let’s look at the history of mankind, it has always experimented. It is difficult to say how inevitable the cyborgization of man is, but his merging with technology is indeed inevitable.”
The final dance:

Like a fairy tale about freedom.
We can only dream of this downfall of the gloomy centralized cabal.
