To address the "governance deficit

 To address the "governance deficit" and the dissolution of global cooperation, leaders and international institutions are pivoting toward Multilateralism 2.0—a more agile, networked, and inclusive approach to global management.

The following are the specific, high-priority solutions currently being proposed or implemented as of early 2026.

1. Reimagining Global Financial Architecture

To prevent the "GZERO" world from collapsing into permanent fragmentation, leaders are pushing for a "New Global Deal" focused on equity for the Global South:

  • The Sevilla Commitment: Adopted to modernize global finance, this roadmap aims to triple Multilateral Development Bank (MDB) lending by 2035 and create platforms for debt cooperation that give borrower nations a greater collective voice.

  • Solidarity Levies: Proposing new taxes on premium-class flying, private jets, and the ultra-wealthy to channel revenue toward climate adaptation and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

  • Debt-for-Development Swaps: Scaling programs that alleviate debt burdens for emerging markets in exchange for investments in local environmental or social infrastructure.

2. A "Cooperative Intelligence" Framework for AI

In response to the rapid deployment of AI, the focus has shifted from national bans to global interoperability:

  • World Council for Cooperative Intelligence (WCCI): A proposed lean institution designed to harmonize safety standards from bodies like the ISO, ensuring that AI systems remain compatible and safe across borders.

  • India-AI Impact Summit 2026: Scheduled for February 19–20, this is the first major summit led by the Global South, focusing on "Human-Centric" and "Planet-Centric" AI rather than just industrial competition.

  • The EU AI Act Implementation: Beginning in August 2026, this sets strict, risk-based rules for AI, including mandatory labeling for deepfakes and transparency for general-purpose models.

3. Synchronizing the Energy Transition

To resolve the divergence between "electrostates" and "petrostates," experts are advocating for "Soft Energy Paths":

  • Global Implementation Accelerator: A new initiative designed to scale "proof points" for the energy transition, moving from ambition to the actual building of grids and factories.

  • Just Transition Conference: The first International Conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels is set for April 2026, aimed at helping developing nations skip the fossil-fuel phase entirely.

  • Lowering the Cost of Capital: Collaborative efforts to reduce the "risk premium" for clean energy projects in emerging economies, which can currently be 2–3 times higher than in advanced nations.

4. Establishing "Trust Infrastructure" for Truth

To combat the erosion of truth caused by deepfakes and misinformation, the tech and media sectors are building defensive systems:

  • Digital Chain of Custody: Implementing blockchain-verifiable trails that document every step of a piece of media's creation and transfer to prove its authenticity.

  • Mandatory AI Watermarking: Global standards requiring all synthetic content to have embedded, machine-readable tags.

  • Verification-as-a-Service: Newsrooms are shifting from "breaking news" to "breaking verification," where the primary value is confirming the reality of a viral event.

How Did I Become Me?

I didn’t wake up one day fully formed. I became myself through a thousand tiny moments—some loud, some quiet, some I didn’t even notice until years later. But the very first moment that shaped me wasn’t mine alone—it was shared. I came into this world with Lonnie, my identical twin. We were a matched set from the start, but our beginning was anything but simple. We faced twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome before anyone had a name for it, let alone a treatment. There was no protocol, no textbook solution—just a local doctor with steady hands and a gut instinct that saved our lives. His skill, not science, gave us a chance. That moment—before memory, before breath—etched something deep into me: a sense of survival, of gratitude, and of connection that runs soul-deep. Growing up with Lonnie wasn’t just having a ...

The Cacopathy of time is the wind in our sails to a future location causing Cacophony of ideas.

  Why is hate hate, and racism racism? Male creates female, and right is left along the way? Up is still down down under, and death is life after you live. The world of self is a world of others, and others are selves alone. Destruction is construction after you clear the lot. And babies are the future, yet to begin. One can go east until one is in the west. One goes up until he comes down.  Killing babies and destroying your neighbor's house is not sound but Cacopathy. Going back is not sound.  Never fear change, change fears you. You are a creator, and you create. Going around and around will make you dizzy, unless you're a ballerina. Worship women, for they create your tomorrow. A woman who cheats is lost and not yet found. A hungry child will tell you so. If you owe a bill to a bill collector, give him the old washing machine. Not your wife or life or child or wisdom. After a while, they will be washing your clothes. The lord knows your wife needs a break. And for goo...

Validity, safety, usability, and user experience of virtual reality gamified home-based exercises in stroke

  Hatem Lazem + 7 authors Helen Dawes 2025, Clinical Rehabilitation ... 1 Citations Saved Open in: +4 more Objective: This study adopted a novel approach to exploring the content validity, safety, usability, and user experiences of different games for telerehabilitation purposes from the perspective of physiotherapists and stroke survivors. Design A cross-sectional content validity and usability study. Setting Lab and online. Participants: 23 participants were recruited: 11 neuro-physiotherapists and 12 chronic stroke survivors. Outcomes Content validity and safety were assessed using a bespoke state evaluation questionnaire. Usability was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). House of Quality analysis was conducted to identify the priority aspects for improvement. Results: Physiotherapists perceived the usability of the games as good to excellent for three games (median SUS = 80%) and poor for two games (SUS < 68%). Three ...
