What I'd like to do is talk to you a little bit about fear
and the cost of fear
and the age of fear from which we are now emerging.
I would like you to feel comfortable with my doing that
by letting you know that I know something about fear and anxiety.
I'm a Jewish guy from New Jersey.
(Laughter)
I could worry before I could walk.
(Laughter)
Please, applaud that.
(Applause)
Thank you.
But I also grew up in a time where there was something to fear.
We were brought out in the hall when I was a little kid
and taught how to put our coats over our heads
to protect us from global thermonuclear war.
Now even my seven-year-old brain knew that wasn't going to work.
But I also knew
that global thermonuclear war was something to be concerned with.
And yet, despite the fact that we lived for 50 years
with the threat of such a war,
the response of our government and of our society
was to do wonderful things.
We created the space program in response to that.
We built our highway system in response to that.
We created the Internet in response to that.
So sometimes fear can produce a constructive response.
But sometimes it can produce an un-constructive response.
On September 11, 2001,
19 guys took over four airplanes
and flew them into a couple of buildings.
They exacted a horrible toll.
It is not for us to minimize what that toll was.
But the response that we had was clearly disproportionate --
disproportionate to the point of verging on the unhinged.
We rearranged the national security apparatus of the United States
and of many governments
to address a threat that, at the time that those attacks took place,
was quite limited.
In fact, according to our intelligence services,
on September 11, 2001,
there were 100 members of core Al-Qaeda.
There were just a few thousand terrorists.
They posed an existential threat
to no one.
But we rearranged our entire national security apparatus
in the most sweeping way since the end of the Second World War.
We launched two wars.
We spent trillions of dollars.
We suspended our values.
We violated international law.
We embraced torture.
We embraced the idea
that if these 19 guys could do this, anybody could do it.
And therefore, for the first time in history,
we were seeing everybody as a threat.
And what was the result of that?
Surveillance programs that listened in on the emails and phone calls
of entire countries --
hundreds of millions of people --
setting aside whether those countries were our allies,
setting aside what our interests were.
I would argue that 15 years later,
since today there are more terrorists,
more terrorist attacks, more terrorist casualties --
this by the count of the U.S. State Department --
since today the region from which those attacks emanate
is more unstable than at any time in its history,
since the Flood, perhaps,
we have not succeeded in our response.
Now you have to ask, where did we go wrong?
What did we do? What was the mistake that was made?
And you might say, well look, Washington is a dysfunctional place.
There are political food fights.
We've turned our discourse into a cage match.
And that's true.
But there are bigger problems, believe it or not, than that dysfunction,
even though I would argue
that dysfunction that makes it impossible to get anything done
in the richest and most powerful country in the world
is far more dangerous than anything that a group like ISIS could do,
because it stops us in our tracks and it keeps us from progress.
But there are other problems.
And the other problems
came from the fact that in Washington and in many capitals right now,
we're in a creativity crisis.
In Washington, in think tanks,
where people are supposed to be thinking of new ideas,
you don't get bold new ideas,
because if you offer up a bold new idea,
not only are you attacked on Twitter,
but you will not get confirmed in a government job.
Because we are reactive to the heightened venom of the political debate,
you get governments that have an us-versus-them mentality,
tiny groups of people making decisions.
When you sit in a room with a small group of people making decisions,
what do you get?
You get groupthink.
Everybody has the same worldview,
and any view from outside of the group is seen as a threat.
That's a danger.
You also have processes that become reactive to news cycles.
And so the parts of the U.S. government that do foresight, that look forward,
that do strategy --
the parts in other governments that do this -- can't do it,
because they're reacting to the news cycle.
And so we're not looking ahead.
On 9/11, we had a crisis because we were looking the wrong way.
Today we have a crisis because, because of 9/11,
we are still looking in the wrong direction,
and we know because we see transformational trends on the horizon
that are far more important than what we saw on 9/11;
far more important than the threat posed by these terrorists;
far more important even than the instability that we've got
in some areas of the world that are racked by instability today.
In fact, the things that we are seeing in those parts of the world
may be symptoms.
They may be a reaction to bigger trends.
And if we are treating the symptom and ignoring the bigger trend,
then we've got far bigger problems to deal with.
And so what are those trends?
Well, to a group like you,
the trends are apparent.
We are living at a moment in which the very fabric of human society
is being rewoven.
If you saw the cover of The Economist a couple of days ago --
it said that 80 percent of the people on the planet,
by the year 2020, would have a smartphone.
They would have a small computer connected to the Internet in their pocket.
In most of Africa, the cell phone penetration rate is 80 percent.
We passed the point last October
when there were more mobile cellular devices, SIM cards,
out in the world than there were people.
We are within years of a profound moment in our history,
when effectively every single human being on the planet
is going to be part of a man-made system for the first time,
able to touch anyone else --
touch them for good, touch them for ill.
And the changes associated with that are changing the very nature
of every aspect of governance and life on the planet
in ways that our leaders ought to be thinking about,
when they're thinking about these immediate threats.
On the security side,
we've come out of a Cold War in which it was too costly to fight a nuclear war,
and so we didn't,
to a period that I call Cool War, cyber war,
where the costs of conflict are actually so low, that we may never stop.
We may enter a period of constant warfare,
and we know this because we've been in it for several years.
And yet, we don't have the basic doctrines to guide us in this regard.
We don't have the basic ideas formulated.
If someone attacks us with a cyber attack,
do have the ability to respond with a kinetic attack?
We don't know.
If somebody launches a cyber attack, how do we deter them?
When China launched a series of cyber attacks,
what did the U.S. government do?
It said, we're going to indict a few of these Chinese guys,
who are never coming to America.
They're never going to be anywhere near a law enforcement officer
who's going to take them into custody.
It's a gesture -- it's not a deterrent.
Special forces operators out there in the field today
discover that small groups of insurgents with cell phones
have access to satellite imagery that once only superpowers had.
In fact, if you've got a cell phone,
you've got access to power that a superpower didn't have,
and would have highly classified 10 years ago.
In my cell phone, I have an app that tells me
where every plane in the world is, and its altitude, and its speed,
and what kind of aircraft it is,
and where it's going and where it's landing.
They have apps that allow them to know
what their adversary is about to do.
They're using these tools in new ways.
When a cafe in Sydney was taken over by a terrorist,
he went in with a rifle...
and an iPad.
And the weapon was the iPad.
Because he captured people, he terrorized them,
he pointed the iPad at them,
and then he took the video and he put it on the Internet,
and he took over the world's media.
But it doesn't just affect the security side.
The relations between great powers --
we thought we were past the bipolar era.
We thought we were in a unipolar world,
where all the big issues were resolved.
Remember? It was the end of history.
But we're not.
We're now seeing that our basic assumptions about the Internet --
that it was going to connect us, weave society together --
are not necessarily true.
In countries like China, you have the Great Firewall of China.
You've got countries saying no, if the Internet happens within our borders
we control it within our borders.
We control the content. We are going to control our security.
We are going to manage that Internet.
We are going to say what can be on it.
We're going to set a different set of rules.
Now you might think, well, that's just China.
But it's not just China.
It's China, India, Russia.
It's Saudi Arabia, it's Singapore, it's Brazil.
After the NSA scandal, the Russians, the Chinese, the Indians, the Brazilians,
they said, let's create a new Internet backbone,
because we can't be dependent on this other one.
And so all of a sudden, what do you have?
You have a new bipolar world
in which cyber-internationalism,
our belief,
is challenged by cyber-nationalism,
another belief.
We are seeing these changes everywhere we look.
We are seeing the advent of mobile money.
It's happening in the places you wouldn't expect.
It's happening in Kenya and Tanzania,
where millions of people who haven't had access to financial services
now conduct all those services on their phones.
There are 2.5 million people who don't have financial service access
that are going to get it soon.
A billion of them are going to have the ability to access it
on their cell phone soon.
It's not just going to give them the ability to bank.
It's going to change what monetary policy is.
It's going to change what money is.
Education is changing in the same way.
Healthcare is changing in the same way.
How government services are delivered is changing in the same way.
And yet, in Washington, we are debating
whether to call the terrorist group that has taken over Syria and Iraq
ISIS or ISIL or Islamic State.
We are trying to determine
how much we want to give in a negotiation with the Iranians
on a nuclear deal which deals with the technologies of 50 years ago,
when in fact, we know that the Iranians right now are engaged in cyber war with us
and we're ignoring it, partially because businesses are not willing
to talk about the attacks that are being waged on them.
And that gets us to another breakdown
that's crucial,
and another breakdown that couldn't be more important to a group like this,
because the growth of America and real American national security
and all of the things that drove progress even during the Cold War,
was a public-private partnership between science, technology and government
that began when Thomas Jefferson sat alone in his laboratory
inventing new things.
But it was the canals and railroads and telegraph;
it was radar and the Internet.
It was Tang, the breakfast drink --
probably not the most important of those developments.
But what you had was a partnership and a dialogue,
and the dialogue has broken down.
It's broken down because in Washington,
less government is considered more.
It's broken down because there is, believe it or not,
in Washington, a war on science --
despite the fact that in all of human history,
every time anyone has waged a war on science,
science has won.
(Applause)
But we have a government that doesn't want to listen,
that doesn't have people at the highest levels
that understand this.
In the nuclear age,
when there were people in senior national security jobs,
they were expected to speak throw-weight.
They were expected to know the lingo, the vocabulary.
If you went to the highest level of the U.S. government now
and said, "Talk to me about cyber, about neuroscience,
about the things that are going to change the world of tomorrow,"
you'd get a blank stare.
I know, because when I wrote this book,
I talked to 150 people, many from the science and tech side,
who felt like they were being shunted off to the kids' table.
Meanwhile, on the tech side,
we have lots of wonderful people creating wonderful things,
but they started in garages and they didn't need the government
and they don't want the government.
Many of them have a political view that's somewhere between
libertarian and anarchic:
leave me alone.
But the world's coming apart.
All of a sudden, there are going to be massive regulatory changes
and massive issues associated with conflict
and massive issues associated with security and privacy.
And we have even gotten to the next set of issues,
which are philosophical issues.
If you can't vote, if you can't have a job,
if you can't bank, if you can't get health care,
if you can't be educated without Internet access,
is Internet access a fundamental right that should be written into constitutions?
If Internet access is a fundamental right,
is electricity access for the 1.2 billion who don't have access to electricity
a fundamental right?
These are fundamental issues. Where are the philosophers?
Where's the dialogue?
And that brings me to the reason that I'm here.
I live in Washington. Pity me.
(Laughter)
The dialogue isn't happening there.
These big issues that will change the world,
change national security, change economics,
create hope, create threats,
can only be resolved when you bring together
groups of people who understand science and technology
back together with government.
Both sides need each other.
And until we recreate that connection,
until we do what helped America grow and helped other countries grow,
then we are going to grow ever more vulnerable.
The risks associated with 9/11 will not be measured
in terms of lives lost by terror attacks
or buildings destroyed or trillions of dollars spent.
They'll be measured in terms of the costs of our distraction from critical issues
and our inability to get together
scientists, technologists, government leaders,
at a moment of transformation akin to the beginning of the Renaissance,
akin to the beginning of the major transformational eras
that have happened on Earth,
and start coming up with, if not the right answers,
then at least the right questions.
We are not there yet,
but discussions like this and groups like you
are the places where those questions can be formulated and posed.
And that's why I believe that groups like TED,
discussions like this around the planet,
are the place where the future of foreign policy, of economic policy,
of social policy, of philosophy, will ultimately take place.
And that's why it's been a pleasure speaking to you.
Thank you very, very much.
(Applause)
