Don’t worry any
I think it’s important not to over react you can’t break the trend. You’ve got to clean up the land from Chemical contaminants. You’ve got to clean up the air you’re going to do it and a lot of Chinese will. Make a lot of money out of that there’ll be a lot of great new companies and they’ll be opportunities to import from other places yes, so can you discuss your theory of?
What you’re doing and other things in terms of whether it advances? equal opportunity and social solidarity tell them what you think is going to happen and. What other kinds of when your opening remarks you just said?
Technology is going to be active in this way in other areas of the economy. What do you think the next big opportunities are? but first
Tell them just in two sentences what you’re doing because Jack and I know and we haven’t been clear enough. Explain it and Explain how you think that Advances social solidarity and equality of opportunity our work is in the belief that access to health information is a basic human right and that lab information particularly because Lab data drives seventy percent of clinical decisions. I’m needs to be accessible to people before they’re sick.
So if you look at the word diagnosed in the dictionary today. It says to determine the presence of disease from symptoms which means by definition. We’re determining that people are sick. Once a disease has already progressed and our work is in being able to. Make lab testing accessible to people in time for therapy to be effected and. To do that in a way in which every person. Irrespective of their insurance status irrespective of where they live. Can afford the ability to get a test done so that means in our case we’ve invested the last 12 years in now developing hundreds of tests many of which are. Less than ten dollars so in two dollar tests in the United States. And I think one of the amazing things about this country is that we have such an incredible. Ecosystem for Fueling creativity and that creativity can create new markets so it answered your question about the market. Being able to conform itself to social good.
I think the creativity that goes into creating these new technologies. Creates new markets in and of themselves and our basic belief that is that those new markets come from? empowering individuals and in franchising individuals and trusting that individuals have the capability to engage with information and in accessing that information beginning to take control of their own outcomes and their own health outcomes and in doing so. Changing the way our healthcare system works. I think what this could mean
for Rural China, you know for Rural, India for native American reservations in America for the Mississippi Delta for the remote areas where all the jobs were lost from culture all of a sudden giving? people information and one of the most important things I think we did and my second term as president. And healthcare fund was developed as diabetes self-care program and all of a sudden. You could be Jacks company could be delivering the means to self-care based on your test I mean, I think that this is really this is a very big deal. We all want to live as long as well as we can and Gregg Benner was here. We were joking about whether wed make it to a hundred. But in the Meanwhile do you want to keep people healthy and if they’re sick you want to intervene early not late? Yeah well
And if you look at I mean the ability to engage with its information, we have a four trillion dollar
health care problem in this country 20% of it is type 2 diabetes which is reversible and we have 90 million Americans who do not know they are pre-diabetic.
But access to information and the ability to engage. With that information is the foundation for being able to change those outcomes and cost right?
One more factor than I want to call in Jack you founded this Company twelve years ago. Right tell them how old we were I was 19 so don’t worry about the future. Were in good hands, okay? I always think of a 19-1 where I am 90 have not the past examination for University yet, I filled a free times, but I think it were done. I’m not a good of schooling that why I give confidence to a lot of young people in China if Jackie Markham’s success can be. Successful 80% of that people can be successful people like her are jealous well.
Equality I would like to make a little bit cut technology helping because yesterday. I was joining the united un women conference about Gender equality and I think the first a technology revolution. Happened 200 years ago in the release the human body their arms stronger. The second technology revolution in the USA for energy you can last long but this technology of revolution relief release the brain. So this century is not a competition who is strong whose muscles are stronger this who is a smarter?
Who is up who can listen you? It’s the challenge of a wisdom so men women equal on the internet. You can never see he’s a woman a man and on the internet. Women can serve much better than men on the internet and a man talking about a business talking about you know numbers competition to make business very cold women they make business very cozy lifestyle and interesting 50% more than 50% of our shop owners want to have five million shop owners of women and people looked at me.
This is a great thing I see that this century. We see more and more women leaders on the state leaders the presidents and in the future were going to general scepter of your nation shall be a woman leader and this is the greatest century for equality and I feel excited about that when they ask you, I’m were almost out of time, but I one of the things that we haven’t talked enough about here.
And I just hear but generally. is whether the leap frogging we saw with cell phones. Which was instrumental in your phenomenal business?
Success and which will make it possible for you. At the appropriate time to do what you’ve done on a global scale into. Unimaginable in all of Human history for anybody to have any of their own health data. We haven’t we seen examples, but not the kind of dramatic Penetration we need. With energy and clean energy and enough and its short enough time. To avoid the worst consequences of climate change, so do you believe?
I mean your country has done more than anybody else to try to put up solar panels and some of your
Companies when it broke because you overdid it, right? Beforehand and you got to work out the phase-out of the coal the phasing in the sun and all that Meanwhile Africa which is growing like crazy because of the cell phone in no small measure and as six of the fastest growing countries in the world
Still has vast swathes of its land totally dark at night.
Do you believe that it’s possible for us to? Scale up with distributed. Solar power is rather than centralized as quick as we did with a cell phone and if so. And if that were your business if you had to quit what you’re doing today and start there? How would you do it and how would you do it?
At first I know that. You know I’m such a huge believer in technology, and I think especially right now.
Were at an incredible time in terms of new technology and the ability to apply technology in a scalable way. Towards solving some of these problems so I would look at it in the context of some of the renewable solutions that we already have and in the context of empowering. Connecting individuals with access to those solutions in the context of creating markets around them I think that there’s real
Opportunity to actually create an Ecosystem in which people can financially benefit from these solutions. And I think that’s going to drive an adoption. I think in developing economies. There’s a revenue stream associated with that and the more we can. Turn even already some of the technologies that we have. Into markets the more that we can fuel. I believe local growth and individual engagement in in beginning to adopt some of these solutions. Just related it would be jack you answer, and then I’ll ask you one final question yeah. I must don’t believe it. The technology can make war much better because people say China economy is getting slower I’m happy about a 7% even 5%
Even 5% of the GDP of the number of China the second large Economy is big enough but you don’t expect China keep on growing 11% because like a one body one human body when you’re 1.8 meters tall you cannot keep on like a 10 percent growth every year you have to grow the quality your mind of wisdom so I think China needs new technology to solve these problems and which. Today the Data the clean technology all these things that China is supposed to do if you keep on the tradition. That the old ways will go nowhere but this is why I feel excited because people ask me what is your dream now because I never thought I would be today I can sit here talking to president I’m like a guy you know on the street and like fill the three times for university five times for high key schools I applied for 10 times in Harvard school or rejected I never thought because of the technology because the internet gives me this opportunity, so I think when I retire I don’t want the Chinese people have a terrible water to drink and a save for food and people the money. We make or spend in a hospital. that’s disaster. So how we can using the technology to enable young people the greater chance of this world?
Don’t worry about we got 1.4 billion people who are born in 1980s. They are the people of the internet times they are going to have new ways to solve the world problems. The things you are worried about today because of it and a human being have these kind of worries for centuries. And young people can always solve it and today. We have a right direction clean energy. You know the climate change all these issues. They will be solved and these are the great opportunities ahead of us. Anything else I?
Agree with that. I think the more the more we can the more we can enfranchise people the more we can create ecosystems in which individuals are empowered than where we give rights to individuals to be able to build businesses to be able to. To pursue the economic benefit of technologies the more you see these markets change before they leave the stage I want you to look at them?
And I want you to think about the time we have had to spend here dealing with the refugee problems in Syria and Lebanon stand up Ellis. This is my friend. Elias musab. He’s the education minister in Lebanon. He’s got to educate all these kids and so he left a miracle that very much reflects the lives that
Elizabeth and Jack have lived he was at a very responsible position at the American University of Dubai.
They started bringing American scholars over there to live in an Arabic culture. He did all these wonderful things Lebanon gotten probably went home to save his country. What is the difference?
how much more could he and every smart Lebanese person do if they could focus on these things and
Why can he not?
Because the place is dominated by people who think their differences are more important than their common humanity and their common challenges. You cannot imagine Jack miles proud of being Chinese. I like that he’d never hit it. He’s happy about it out of product to be a global citizen - yeah
and I imagine Elizabeth proud to be a blonde haired Blue-Eyed American Techno Wiz from Northern California yes, but they don’t not a word either one of them has said has defined the meaning of their lives or the direction of their work with negative?
My friend Dikembe Moomba stand up. No you don’t stand up. It hurts too much you’re an old man. My 7-foot too rich fall friend was just inducted into the national basketball association Hall of fame and
the my family my whole family was and I. Have seen how much he is given back to his native country Congo which has been told troubles. I’ve known him a long time. We both went to Georgetown University Id id before he was born I think?
I’ve never heard him say a resentful thing about anybody. I have seen him give and give and give try to give the people in his native land opportunities. Why am I telling you this? He’s had a good life because
He never defined his life with negative reference to anybody else. He never regretted anybody else’s success. And he thought he had an obligation to help other people. I’m telling you. This is the we are back in a time of collective global insecurity. Where the main struggle is the oldest one in human history? just in Modern Techno realities meaning if you were trying to build the middle east you would think about our permanent sponsor here the ambassador from Oman?
Who tried to her government tried to help head off a calamitous war in the middle east over the nuclear issue in Iran?
We all pray to God that it will work out on and early to late. You look around all these places wherever
people are. Putting aside their differences and working together good things are happening
we cannot achieve economic or social equality without living in the factional realities of the world we face looking at the obstacles looking at the opportunities making the best decisions and those of us who
Even feel good about ourselves because we think we spend a lot of time giving our whole goal. Should be to work ourselves out of a job one of the things that. The Bill and Austin were sitting there with star key. They started giving away hearing aids, and then they decided. What we better teach these young people how to speak if they get the gift of hearing?
They’ll have to learn that so they got into the education business sunny got in the education business incited. Somebody ought to do something really dramatic to remind people that the only people that really matter the teachers so he gave the first global teacher of the year award last year and an. International panel gave the prize to a teacher from Maine who promptly gave the entire million dollars to her school. Woman never made any money in their life. She gave all the money away immediately
The future is going to be forged my people who think of how to use the modern tools. That we are given as Elizabeth and Jack have to create opportunity through empowerment and. It will not be a straight line. It’s too many moving parts. And but I just want you to think about that the reason you feel good looking at them is that you identify with them even though they’re different from you, and that’s basically where we are all over again, and we can’t slip back. We can’t give up that’s why we had the prime minister of Italy and George Soros talking about the future of Europe and George said it was coming apart and the prime minister said no. It doesn’t have to come apart if it’s about something more than economics. I thought it doesn’t have to come apart if you. Will it not to?
And you put yourself on the line for it. There are no guaranteed outcomes today. But you can guarantee that the trend is right?
So go ahead and were going to say something which I just wanted to add I mean if were talking about the future and and from my own experience and looking at all the faces here. I think a huge part of the answer to your question is also to raise our little girls with the stereotype they can be the best in engineering and science and math because when they do in all of these industries it changes everything and. We need to do that in this country, and we need to do that as parents in other countries. Yeah, I was thinking about if what you say I think about when you want when you talk about. Problems you normally is like a politician. We talk about opportunity that the businesspeople. I was thinking about
how we can using you know this all the problems that change the problem to come the opportunity and
I don’t know. I just feel excited when people talk about problems I Think think about if you can solve one of them that’s the chance and today. Nobody in live in this century has so many opportunities and so many. Tools they can use the change other peoples life
And I think in in the last century which I called it time this century is got a Dt. Ten Data technology. It is to Empower yourself make yourself strong Dt.
Is to empower the others when you empower the others you empower your future yourself?
So when I listen to talk I Agree, and I think that’s why we were born in this century. that’s why we
How we can use the internet to help more people?
It’s given my hand. Thank you
