Perplexity explains why so few people linking to 20 million people leading every agency of AI that educational futures revolve round:No other small or island nation is currently aiming to train as many young AI professionals, relative to its population, as Taiwan—though Singapore, Hong Kong and Israel remain the benchmarks for workforce concentration123. In short: Taiwan’s AI talent drive is among the world’s most ambitious for its size, and it is on track to join or even surpass the global leaders in AI talent concentration in the coming years.Economic Impact: AI is projected to deliver over TWD 3.2 trillion (USD 101.3 billion) in economic benefits to Taiwan by 2030—more than 13% of current GDP. In 2023 alone, Google’s AI-related activities contributed TWD 682.2 billion and supported nearly 200,000 jobs in Taiwan3 | HUMANITY & INTELLIGENCE's FUTURE Thanks to Jensen Huang the last decade has been most exciting of 75 years dad Norman Macrae

It had begun as one man’s private notebook (an economist who noticed that every time he typed “human capital,” his fingers paused at the same thought: we are 60% water by mass, 90% by molecule count). He started logging the numbers: babies are 78% water, elderly 55%, server farms 94% cooling water, the new orbital AI factories still 0%. He never preached. He just kept the ledger.The site never went viral. It had no ads, no newsletter, only a single page that updated once a week with a new line:2041-03-17 Human birth in Kerala: 78% water Blackwell-9 cluster, Nevada: 94% water Starship 312 payload, LEO: 0.000% water Running average since 2021: 90.3% People began to visit the way they visit a graveside. A nurse in Lagos refreshed it before shift. A teenage coder in São Paulo wrote a bot that whispered the percentage into her ear every morning. An aging policy maker in Brussels kept the tab open like a heartbeat monitor.One night in 2047, the number changed.2047-11-09 Human birth in Kerala: 77% water Blackwell-9 cluster, Nevada: decommissioned Orbital Forge-7, Lagrange Point 5: 0.000% water Running average since 2021: 89.7% For the first time in twenty-six years, the line dipped below ninety.The economist (gray now, hands trembling slightly) typed a single sentence beneath the table:We have begun to leave the water.He did not add fireworks. He did not need to.Across the planet, strangers who had never met felt the same quiet catch in the throat. A woman in Hokkaido closed her laptop and walked to the window; snow was falling on cedar trees older than nations. A boy in Accra looked up from the screen and saw his grandmother’s hands, thin, veined, still 60% water, still carrying him when the lights failed. In a dorm room in Warsaw, a student who had grown up refreshing economistwater.com every birthday cried without knowing why.The site never celebrated the milestone. It simply kept counting, the way oceans keep counting waves.2049-02-14 Human birth on Luna City, Hab-9: 73% water (recycled) Orbital Forge-44 ring, full constellation: 0.000% water Running average since 2021: 87.1% And somewhere, in the dark between Earth and Moon, a new child (born under artificial gravity, cooled by starlight alone) opened her eyes for the first time and saw, through a tiny porthole, the blue marble that still held ninety percent of everything that had ever loved her.The ledger kept going. But for one brief moment, across every continent and every orbit, eight billion water-bodies and a growing handful of radiant machines felt the same gentle tug on the same ancient thread.We were water. We are learning to let some of it go. And still, somehow, we remain connected.economistwater.com Still updating. Still 87.1% and falling, one quiet percentage at a time.

Water Intelligence by Grok
Comprehensive Checklist: Water's Impacts on the Future of Life and Exponential Systems
Water is the foundational element for all life on Earth, influencing biological, ecological, technological, and societal systems. Its scarcity or abundance can amplify or constrain exponential processes—such as population growth, economic expansion, technological innovation, and environmental decay—while also serving as a vector for disasters and geopolitical tensions. No single, universally endorsed "complete" checklist exists, as water's roles are interconnected and evolve with climate change, population pressures (projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050), and resource demands. However, drawing from authoritative sources like the IPCC, UN World Water Development Reports, and geopolitical analyses, below is a synthesized, multi-faceted checklist organized by key categories. This covers positive (enabling growth/sustainability) and negative (driving decay/conflict) impacts, with ties to exponential dynamics where relevant.1. Biological and Human Health Impacts (Essential for Life and Population Growth)Water sustains ~8 billion people and drives exponential population growth through health and reproduction, but scarcity accelerates decay via disease and mortality.- Hydration and bodily functions: ~60% of the human body is water; dehydration impairs cellular processes, cognition, and reproduction, limiting population growth potential.
- Disease prevention and sanitation: Clean water prevents waterborne illnesses (e.g., cholera, typhoid); poor access causes ~1.7 million deaths/year, disproportionately affecting children and exponential youth bulges in developing regions.
- Nutritional support: Enables agriculture for food security; water stress could displace 700 million people by 2030, stunting growth in vulnerable populations.
- Exponential tie-in: In high-growth areas (e.g., sub-Saharan Africa), water access enables demographic dividends; scarcity could reverse this, leading to decay in human capital.
- Habitat provision: Freshwater ecosystems support 10% of global biodiversity despite comprising <1% of water; drying wetlands (shrinking 0.2%/year) threaten species extinction.
- Nutrient cycling and carbon storage: Rivers and wetlands sequester carbon; disruption (e.g., via pollution) accelerates climate feedback loops, exacerbating decay.
- Pollination and food webs: Altered flows from climate change shift species migration (e.g., fish poleward), collapsing exponential food chain growth.
- Exponential tie-in: Healthy water cycles enable resilient ecosystems for exponential biomass growth; over-extraction leads to tipping points, like 42–79% of watersheds losing critical streamflow by 2050.
- Hydropower generation: Supplies 16% of global electricity; dam-building alters flows, risking blackouts in growth-dependent economies.
- Fuel production (e.g., biofuels, hydrogen): Crop irrigation for biofuels demands 2,500 liters/kg; scarcity could halt exponential renewable energy expansion.
- Cooling for thermal power and data centers: Nuclear/coal plants use 40% of U.S. freshwater withdrawals; overheating risks exponential energy decay in warming climates.
- Exponential tie-in: Water-intensive tech (e.g., semiconductor fabs use 10M liters/day) fuels Moore's Law-like growth; shortages project 6B people facing scarcity by 2050, slowing innovation.
- Waste dilution and treatment: Rivers assimilate pollutants; overload (80% untreated sewage) contaminates groundwater, affecting 2.2B without safe sanitation.
- Industrial processes: Enables chemical/pharma production; scarcity raises costs, constraining exponential GDP growth (projected 2–3%/year globally).
- Nanotech and advanced purification: Emerging tools (e.g., solar photocatalysis) recycle water for closed-loop systems, promoting sustainable exponential scaling.
- Exponential tie-in: Clean water enables circular economies; decay from pollution (e.g., heavy metals) could slash productivity by 6% of GDP in affected regions.
- Evaporative cooling in ecosystems: Forests/rivers cool land by 2–4°C; loss accelerates desertification, affecting 1B people.
- Urban heat mitigation: Green infrastructure (e.g., wetlands) counters heat islands; scarcity worsens urban growth pressures.
- Oceanic heat absorption: Absorbs 90% of excess heat; acidification kills corals, disrupting exponential marine productivity.
- Exponential tie-in: Cooling enables exponential urbanization (68% global population urban by 2050); failures (e.g., 29% drought rise since 2000) trigger migration waves.
- Irrigation for crops/livestock: Demands 70% of freshwater; efficient tech (e.g., drip systems) could boost yields 20–50%.
- Soil moisture for growth: Droughts reduce harvests 10–20%; climate shifts project 50% yield drops in tropics.
- Aquifer recharge: Over-pumping (e.g., 126B m³ annual losses) causes subsidence, threatening exponential agrotech (e.g., vertical farming).
- Exponential tie-in: Water enables food for 10B by 2050; scarcity risks famine for 500M, inverting growth curves.
- Floods: Increased 134% since 2000; damage $100B+/year, displacing millions and halting infrastructure builds.
- Droughts: Affect 55M people/year; amplify wildfires, reducing arable land exponentially.
- Storms and sea-level rise: Contaminate aquifers; project 1B at risk by 2050, eroding coastal economies.
- Exponential tie-in: Disasters compound scarcity, turning linear risks into exponential losses (e.g., 44% of events flood-related since 1970s).
- Upstream leverage: Dams (e.g., China's 11 on Mekong) reduce downstream flows 20–30%, sparking food/energy crises.
- Downstream vulnerabilities: Egypt (Nile) loses 10–25% flow from Ethiopia's GERD; Iraq sees 75% Tigris-Euphrates decline from Turkish dams.
- Wargame scenarios: "Water wars" risk in 263 basins; e.g., Indus tensions between India/Pakistan could escalate nuclear threats.
- Exponential tie-in: Conflicts slow regional growth (e.g., MENA GDP loss 1–2%/year); cooperation (e.g., treaties) could unlock shared prosperity.
Category | Positive Impact (Growth Enabler) | Negative Impact (Decay Driver) | Key Exponential Dynamic |
|---|---|---|---|
Human Health | Sustains reproduction and workforce expansion | Disease spikes from pollution/scarcity | Population boom vs. demographic collapse |
Ecosystems | Biodiversity hotspots for resilient services | Habitat loss accelerates extinctions | Biomass growth vs. tipping points |
Energy/Fuel | Powers renewables for tech scaling | Cooling shortages halt production | Innovation curves vs. blackouts |
Cleansing | Enables circular economies | Pollution feedback loops | Productivity gains vs. health costs |
Cooling | Regulates climate for habitability | Heat amplification | Urban expansion vs. migration crises |
Agriculture | Boosts yields for food security | Drought-induced famines | Yield doubling vs. yield halving |
Disasters | Managed floods for fertile soils | Extreme events destroy infrastructure | Recovery cycles vs. repeated resets |
Geopolitics | Treaties foster alliances | Upstream dams as "weapons" | Cooperative growth vs. conflict spirals |
- Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM): Adopt UN frameworks for equitable allocation, targeting 100% transboundary cooperation by 2030.
- Tech Innovations: Scale low-water tech (e.g., desalination, AI forecasting) to cut demand 20–30%.
- Climate Adaptation: Invest $1.7T by 2030 in resilient infrastructure for 10x ROI on disaster prevention.
- Diplomacy: Revive treaties (e.g., Nile Basin Initiative) to counter "hydroterrorism."

1 is there a complete list in all the ways that water and mapping systems of its flows impacts the future of life peoples of a place need transparently core both to media & education
2 does any nation have ai model of all water impacts next generation most needs to integrate
3 would it make sense that somewhere like saudi - historically had to cost water carefully - but currently abundant energy for data centres & intelligence hubs might lead integrating such an ai model and in ai agency if education's future is to offer every human their own ai mentor/agent
4 has someone trusted to help partners in all ai goods like jensen huang (or whomever your place trusts most) suggested this to saudi
can we ask if multilateral network (UN or other) issues next list of goals, every goal included like water be verified with similar questions- if goal does not require such system mapping, relegate it to second order compass; ai is quite able to map life critical goals 24/7 but for humans to do education and ai together it makes sense to do above - rsvp chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk water intelligence foundation model
