Yes it has and it’s a whole lot worse than most thought possible. Of course, we’re not just talking about the chaos in the US, but everything else too - Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland, Gaza, China, Ukraine, Russia, to name a few, along with, of course, challenging the very foundations of Europe – that went down well, didn’t it?
Are we witnessing the creation of a New World Order in real-time, as many claim? It certainly can’t be ruled out, so what does it mean for the rest of us? How will the ripples ‘ripple’ out and impact our lives? Can we expect world leaders to respond with strength, or will they be weak? We’ll discuss the signs so far. And what about Europe specifically - what can we expect there? Then again, we could be witnessing the collapse of the US Empire (as many predict) an event of such enormous scale, it would turn the world on its head. If that happens, let’s just say: no empire has ever ‘died’ gently…
It's a tense time and everyone is on tenterhooks quite rightly, and that’s why we are absolutely delighted to welcome the amazing Jessica Figueras to join us this week. Based in the UK - which means she’s bringing a perspective from the UK/EU - Jess is Chair of Trustees for the UK Cyber Security Council and Co-Founder of CxB, which focuses on Cyber Governance for Boards. She’s been named one of Computer Weekly's Most Influential Women in UK Tech (2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021), and is a Security Unsung Heroes Awards winner (2024) too. Essentially, Jess works at the intersection of technology, government and civil society in the fields of cyber security and trust, online safety, risk, regulation, and social impact. She also has a very keen mind for politics, so we can’t wait to hear what she has to say.
The Livestream kicks off at 3pm Singapore time/7am UK time, Friday 21st February 2025. Come and join us, this is going to be a great conversation!
The Know Show is a Livestream held every fortnight on Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade and Joe Augustin, and at least one special guest, review the news that’s getting everyone’s attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We’ll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters in the world today.
The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, which are published every Saturday on andreatedwards.com, and covers the planetary crisis, topical moments in the world, global politics and war, business and technology, social issues, and passion/humour/history. Join us.
