EXCERPTS from Clinton’s speech at TED:

We live in a world that is inter-dependent but insufficient.

• It is profoundly unequal.
• It is unstable because of the threats of war, disease, etc.
• It is unsustainable because of climate change, resource depletion and species destruction.

I hope for integrated communities:

• Broadly shared opportunities
• Shared sense of responsibility
• A sense of belonging

The central psychological plague of this century is that people think they have more differences than in common.

We have to build systems.  In the absence of systems that function, we would not be able to achieve anything.  Think about it.  However many obstacles you have faced, at critical junctures, you always knew there was a predictable connection between the effort you exerted and the result you achieved.  In a world with no systems, in chaos, everything becomes a struggle and this predictability is not there.
