At linkedin group AIWHI we discuss how 1960s was last decade that 3 great empires - US, UK, Japan - agreed their responsibilities to remaining 92% of human brains. Back in 1983, Norman and Chris  Macrae co-autheoed 2025Report. Our purpose to argue that as intelligence machines changed generational possibilities, all public servants needed to value both 8 billion living brains and next 4 billion born with as much trust as 1960s. In 2026 it is fascinating to see where Data Sovereignty AI is celebrating that collaboration possibility - for example many of history's worst diseases could now be resolved by deep data cooperation mapping

MAPPING WORLD WITH HUMAN BRAINS FROM SPACE OR 1000 FEET

I refer to family logbooks starting 1943 - borderless stories in human endeavour  were seen from 1000-20000 feet by my father Norman Macrae who was spending his last days as teenager navigating planes in allied Bomber Command Burma Campaign. My maternal grandfather Kenneth Kemp was being asked by London to return from being Bombay's Chief Justice to start sub-editing India's Independence. Geoffrey Crowther in London who edited The Economist for nearly 20 years was publishing centenary learning curve on how economists hadnt been able to avoid 2 world wars. 

Happily dad, with mental maps 2 generations before google survived; to be one of last students Keynes mentored at Cambridge; was hired by Crowther to go interview engineers. Crowther had worked out that economists and journalists had failed to stay ahead of energy and other engineering advances. V0n Neumann peer group including Einstein and Turing helped developed an iq quiz for economist journalists. They foresaw million times "moore" laws cubed Moores' chips,  what's now Jensen's computers designed for deep data, and satellites eg ^G up transferring data between communities and clouds. By 1960 all of JF Kennedy, UK and Japan Royals foresaw it was time to invest in decade long goals eg moonshots and to unite not just east west hemispheres in trade and transgenerational trust but also energising south north connections with earth's as well as humans diversity. Soon after Kennedy's assassination the cold war spiraled ending trust in developing all nations with US and Russia racing to sponsor dictators however much debt this trapped most human brains in. What humanity urgently needs AI to tool is intelligence of ai agents and humans to unite - have a look at AIWHI - and help us map open intelligence community actions.

Economist editor Geoffrey Crowther analysed first 100 years of The Economist 1843-1943 and found that economists and media men had exponentially failed to keep up with engineering innovation

So he sent Norman Macrae (a rookie journalist who had survived being teenage navigator allied bomber command Burma campaign) to Prinecton/NY for year 1951/52 primarily to train with V Neumann and his cooperation with (Einstein 1, Turing) the first Intelligence Engineers.

 It would be a shock that all three parted by 1957- still Neumann had ensured IBM understood computer design, he expected Neural Networking algorithms to be key, he anticapated at least 3 waves of million times more tec\h would change most lifetimes round brainwoking. He specified key crireria- design above zero sum trading games; ensure these linkon health and learning, and thence Energy & Peace in remapping a world uniting peoples and places round the abundant models of natutre's science Einstein 1 2 3 had first published in 1905 (and 1919 on)
