Salameh a coup so I’m going to talk
about my journey with the West and
arrests but lets me look around I see
you’re a little bit tired I see some
sleepy hats I think you need some
exercise we’re going to start with
exercise first we’ll start with brain
exercise here’s question for you imagine
that you born again and given two
options and to be a happy animal B to be
unhappy human for your entire life happy
bird or unhappy baggers let’s see the
hands happy birthdays okay
unhappy burgers okay
very rare we’ll come back to these
questions now all starts which try to
address full question about the west and
the rest but first start with the fact
what is the fact for last 500 years
about the West and the rest
now once upon a time from 8th to 11th
century Muslim world was having a golden
age while the West was in the Dark Ages
the Muslim world was the center of
science was the center of research the
West had to translate books from the
Muslim world
the West had to learn Arabic for 700
years to study science the number of
books in Cordoba alone was more than the
number of book in entire Europe and this
is resulted in many invention it is a
facts National Geography came up with
the book called 1001 invention by Muslim
scientists but something happened the
Sun sets in
and rises from the West the ones
discovered something with the light
sentiments discover treasures all maybe
you’re actually something even more
important than oil the biggest treasure
ever I call and with that they become
better in science and technology than
the rest of the world those are some
data showing that how the West is doing
and you can see here based on income
distribution that the dark area is the
rest of the world and the light area is
the Western countries when you look at
the income per capita now why what
happened why the West has been doing
better than the rest of world for almost
500 years that’s the questions I try to
find the answer for for almost 20 years
and actually there are minions if I will
try to answer this question through my
own journey I was born in the east of
Turkey in agricultural society I moved
to the west of Turkey in industrial
society then I moved to us for my
graduate education in information
society throughout my life journey I try
to find the answer of why the West is
doing better than the rest of the world
now I read many books engage many
discussion visited many places found
many different answers some of those are
those but I think some of those are just
the tip of iceberg I’ll tell you what is
unseen what is the real secrets as I
mentioned before the real secret is the
treasure they discover is the treasure
of mind the west discover with
enlightenment now they discover as one
nets beautifully explained the was
discovered that the mind has enormous
things and treasure the question how can
on earth to the treasure of mines they
came up with certain institution but
institution only works on certain value
therefore I call the waster success is
value-based success basically they come
up with the 9 values to mine the mind
and I will tell you what are those 9
values and use those values doubles
institutions to get the treasure of the
mind the very first one is critical
thinking critical thinking is the first
in my view because it’s the way to
unlock the power of the mind is the way
to provide the filter to the mind to
distinguish the fact from the falsehood
is the way to truly make the mind to
works I remember when I was graduate
student in Turkey one time and expressed
my different view in one of my class the
professor spent two hours two cleans my
mind but then in years I realized that I
was encouraged to think differently not
only that I was rewarded to come up with
different answer then I called this
critical thinking is very important
liberty freedom freedom of religion
freedom of foods essential it’s part of
the institution is part of Constitution
no one can change it therefore when you
look at in your ass the last election
the voter turnout was 55%
doesn’t matter who comes to power no one
can touch to those those values the
Liberty what I say that when people ask
me about us I give very short answer I
say us is the place that is short to
spatch to general and your hand now you
have freedom to choose is up to you
third is justice but justice not as a
story justice as a fury just this not as
a talk justice as a practice I first
came across
young girls box on Justin and realize
how important justice is why we need
justice fortas rule of law the power
lies with in the law no one is above the
law
if you are right you are powerful
even if you are not white American I
realize that because the power lies in
the law not individuals when you have
traveled you don’t need to help one
Forge its parts better the culture I
call this the show of not one person as
the show of connected minds team working
and understanding the importance of
participation one of the key scholar put
in this way he says it is a way to now
how four can be bigger than one
thousands because for individual work
individually if you add up the outcome
of their work is one plus one plus one
plus one equal four but if you remove
the plans put one side by side remove
the hierarchy United them as a one
number you get 1111 that’s the power of
team working equality it’s very
important though discrimination based on
gender or religion or ethnicity
whatsoever now I realize that in your
ass if you’re Indian not only you can
drive a car you can drive a B company
like Microsoft and Google as well how
can you imagine to have an Indian CEO
for a Runkle competency it’s very
important be I say this is seen in your
ass if you’re 18 you’re out you have to
rely on what I call any bank self Bank
rely on your own capital while in the
rest you can rely on your parents what I
call Baba Bank give you credit to the
end of your life why should you
work now we are compassionate but
compassionate killers they’re heartless
were heartless helper eight
accountability it doesn’t matter who you
are if you make mistake you have to pay
the price this is the guy he was the
governor of Illinois is for seven years
he found to be guilty of getting bribes
plurality it’s not tolerating the
differences it’s appreciating treasuring
the differences in the answer had the
relationship and friendship with every
kind of individual I had to this
neighbor my kids now among you they used
to call them bootie uncle I had eight
his friends we used to meet for four
years every weekend I published four
books out of our discussion so I
now this what I call the pyramids of the
value that make to us to be successful
than the rest of the world anything
missing yes for sure thanks to Ted
Eckstein told me yesterday that I missed
one very important thing
yesterday night were supposed to meet at
a restaurant for the dinner I was told
that the dinner started at 9:00 and
finished it centered and made
arrangement accordingly
I want then waited donkey waited and
waited and waited no one came became
10:30 I had to leave when I was leaving
at the gate I got the call from Ottawa
she said where are you
except I am about to leave she said why
I said it’s 10:30 just I’m sorry I said
you don’t have to be sorry this is the
west and the rest because I realized
that what is missing is punctuality is
the use of times absolutely well very
important difference between west and
the rest then I have to revise it and
call it the ten talents of the Western
success thanks to
thanks again now they use again they use
those value established institution are
great values and actually there’s the
question that people in the West asked
as well they say why did you hate us
Marco Rubio recently said that they hate
us because of our values I disagree who
can make those great values but why do
people hate the West I say which was
you’re talking about there are two
West’s there is worse for the West and
West for the rest West for the West has
those great values internally but what
for the rest actually acts based on the
national interest not the human interest
the ones the internal they have those
values but do not internalize and
therefore do not act based on those
values come to the rest of the world and
that’s why people do not like the West’s
some people do not like to us now I
don’t blame them why because this we
call real politics and everyone all
country act based on the national
interests by strong we think that we
should move from the national interests
to human interest finally what should we
do it to us
how should Western eyes I think this is
the question of identity can we keep her
identity and still be Westerner and I
think yes and I think we need to go back
to the question I asked at the very
beginning now a little modification what
would you like to be happy animal
unhappy burger or happy human we don’t
need to ask you all will say happy human
and I will say that if we gets the
sinking western value will become the
happy animal if we do not get anything
from the wasps will become unhappy human
but forgets the uplift
value will become happy human now
finally my journey with the west and the
rest and that with no surprise I
realized that it’s all about value once
upon a time we had those great values we
were experiencing the Golden Age we lost
those value the West discovered them and
they are in the Golden Age no surprise
and no words better than this can
explain the west and the rest and who
are you what are you are they
thank you [Applause]
