38
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: is already in beach mode, and he's declared from Silk

39
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: to Silicon. His beach reading book of the Year, The

40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Story of Globalization Through Ten Extraordinary Lives, written by Jeffrey Garden.

41
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: He is the Den Ameritus of the Yale School of Management.

42
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: We were talking about how uh, one person, through their efforts,

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: can make a major impact on history. You've got ten

44
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: extraordinarily lives in there, but these are lives that have

45
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: been lived. Whom do you see out there as someone

46
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: who who could be the next the next chapter is

47
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: there is there a person or a subject matter that

48
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: you would tout as perhaps the next big thing? Well, um,

49
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: you know, before I answer that, I just want to

50
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: I just want to re emphasize the criteria I used,

51
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: because by any account, there are lots of really extraordinary

52
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: people who are doing extraordinary things. The ten that I

53
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: picked had a big idea, but they also were the

54
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: ones who executed the idea. So that really limits the

55
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: that limits the pool. I mean, There's been many big thinkers,

56
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: but to be a thinker and a doer on an

57
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: extraordinary scale, that that puts you in a much more

58
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: rarefied environment. And the second kind of criteria I had

59
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: is that what these guys did kicked off an entirely

60
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: new age. So for example, I write about my first character,

61
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: Genghis Khan, he really kicked off an age of global empire.

62
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: Or I write about um Cyrus Field, and he kicked

63
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: off an age of global communication, you know. And I

64
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: write about John Rockefeller, who kicked off an age of industrialization. UM,

65
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: if I use those categories is very very hard for

66
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: me too. I think for anyone to identify someone now, um,

67
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, the the usual suspects. Let's say, uh, Jeff Bezos,

68
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, or or maybe um, you know Steve Jobs,

69
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: or maybe um uh Elon Musk. I don't know that

70
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: they're kicking off new ages. Now. The person who kicked

71
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: off the new age in my book, the one I

72
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: picked that relates to all of them, was Andrew Grove,

73
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: because Andrew Grove, as the head of Intel, UM didn't

74
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: create the microprocessor, but he figured out how to make

75
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: it to commercial to global commercial scale. And it's the

76
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: microprocessor that's at the center of every Internet digitalization gadget

77
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: that we talked about. It could be phones, it could

78
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: be three D printers, it could be all kinds of sensors,

79
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: but without the microprocessor, none of it would be possible.

80
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: So you know that's that was my thinking. So who who?

81
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: I can identify a person, but I could identify maybe

82
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: a a an arena that I think someone is going

83
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: to come along, Let's say, and um be the person

84
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: who may eradicate certain diseases that would have an enormous

85
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: global impact in terms of the populations. I think someone

86
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: might come along and have a technological breakthrough when it

87
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: comes to climate change. You know, someone anyone who can

88
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: figure out how to capture the coal emissions forever. That

89
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: would be. But I don't know who those people are. Um,

90
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: I've got to rip up the script here. I put

91
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: out a slight article of fabulous article by Dania Goldstein. This, uh,

92
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: we can on Andrew Hacker in his hugely controversial book

93
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: basically saying liberal arts curriculum doesn't need math. I went

94
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: suitably ballistic, as I believe you would as well. Would

95
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: you explain to our audience why people that aren't going

96
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: to be engineers, like the people in your book, like

97
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: growth or or um the others, why we need math

98
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: at every level of our education. Well, I just think

99
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: we First of all, I agree with you and I

100
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: think we have entered in era where the kind of

101
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: reasoning that math induces is absolutely critical to understanding various relationships. That,

102
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: let me put another way, We're living in an era

103
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: where you need deep knowledge, but you also need to

104
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: be able to relate it to other things. And math

105
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: is the ultimate sort of relational kind of discipline. And

106
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: so I think we need math. I felt what you

107
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: were going to say is do we need poetry? And

108
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: I think we need that. We need as well. We

109
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: need that house I grew up. But I think we

110
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: need people who because because we can't anticipate, but the

111
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: world is going to be and I really believe that

112
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: because I think the change is moving so fast. We

113
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 1: need people who have technical capabilities but also the ability

114
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: to reason critically, to ask the right questions. We could

115
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: go for hours. Jeffrey Garden with a samarith Yale University
