Genesis of Global Conversation

We need nutrients to sustain our bodies and grow. Our Biology has the mechanics to make us thirsty and hungry to crave for water and food to meet these needs.

Theologians tell us we are born with a moral compass. Neuroscientists are beginning to understand that we are imbued with an innate process of Language of Thought (Mentalese). Combine these in a mix with other cerebral elements, we have a craving for certain narratives to sustain the balance of our mental health.

WASP leaders are adroit in massaging and manipulating these narratives for bloated national prestige and power domination. Technological advances which led to globalisation encouraged these narratives to evolve into Global Conversation (GC).

These narratives in ancient days powered the Romans to birth the organised religion of Christianity and the Bible today is the most extraordinary and encompassing GC on Earth. 

The Romans in occupying part of the British Isles passed these skills on to the English who have their own brand of genius to enhance them. The Magna Carta was drawn up that provided the underpinnings of political reforms leading to the foundations for social justice and early forms of human rights. 

As the world progresses, the English kept transforming these gifts into the fine art of providing moral authority to justify their adventures and territorial ambitions around the globe. In latter days the US followed suit with these strategies.

Robert Clive ran the private East India Company to trade with India. When the "Black Hole of Calcutta" incident broke out, some of the data were hyped to justify Clive requesting the Crown to provide military back up which were used to fight the various battles that led to the colonisation of the whole of India.

The British slyly supplied opium to China against the Chinese Authority wishes that precipitated the Boxer Rebellion. The Opium Wars then led to the annexation of Hong Kong as a concessionaire to compensate for the damage done to the British opium trade.

The "Gulf of Tonkin" incident gave the moral authority to the US to start the Vietnam War.

These are just some of the milestone examples of many that illustrate the Game of GC on the world geopolitical stage.

China must master the fundamentals of this Game to assert its vested interests around the Globe. The babblings of Donald Trump risk raising the temperature in this GC Game that China must be eveready to cool down to avert hostilities. 

Already of late, US Battleships and B-52 Bombers are buzzing China's territorial space.
