METAVERSE AND MONEY (W/33 Highlights):

Decrypting the Future

Kathleen Boyle, CFA
Managing Editor, Citi GPS
Global Perspectives & Solutions

Have you ever had one of those “aha” lightbulb moments when you realize your 
grasp of technology, or lack thereof, showed your age? One of those moments hit 
me like a ton of bricks this week when I was asked to create my own avatar for a 
presentation in the Metaverse. I did manage to create something functional and 
presentable. What I did not do, or should I say could not do, was operate my avatar 
— make it walk or interact. Given the speed at which the Metaverse is advancing, I 
need to learn this quickly because it was very obvious I was an un-savvy older 
person in the Metaverse room.

If the latest battle in the AI wars is between open and closed models, Meta CEO and Founder Mark Zuckerberg is right on the frontlines. Since rebranding as Meta in 2021, the trillion-dollar company, formerly known as Facebook, has been pouring billions into its long term bets on artificial intelligence and the metaverse.

The Greatest Fish Story Ever Told:

Art Director/Designer/Photographer: Bert Steinhauser
Copywriter: Frada Sklar Wallach
Client: El Al Isreal Airlines 

Thousands of years ago, in the Sea of
Galilee, there was a tasty little fish known 
as chromis simonis. The 'Big Fisherman' 
himself is said to have caught it. So it was 
named St. Peter's fish, after him. 

The name stuck to the fish and the fish 
stuck to the Galilee. The wonder is that it
hasn't changed since Peter's day. Restau-
rants all over Israel serve it and in Tiberias 
it's a specialty. 

If you like, you can hook your own 'St. 
Peter' in the Sea of Galilee. Or fish for other 
fish in other waters. The seas runneth over 
with prizes. In Eilat, there's even a famous 
restaurant that will cook your catch right 
on the spot.

While the fish is grilling, you can be bak-
ing on a nearby beach. Telling your own fish story. Or just watching the snorkelers watching the fish. 

If you're a meat and potatoes man, or
lady, you won't go hungry. How about 
barbecued lamb with hummus (ground chickpeas) or home-cooked chicken soup
with noodles or boiled beef with curry or
very good goulash? 

And don't worry about getting fat. Places 
like ancient Sodom, King Solomon's Mines,
Massada, The Tomb of Absalom, Mt.
Tabor and Capernaum are scattered from 
one end of Israel to the other. You'll need
some extra food to keep up your strength. 

To get you off to a good start, El Al will land
you at Tel Aviv with a few hearty meals
under your belt. Including a
breakfast of bagels and cream
cheese and lox.

Then we'll add a warm
Shalom. There'll be nothing
fishy about that.

AL

The airline of the people of Isreal.

We hate to cloud your day, but we'd like 
to bring you up to date on a few things the
experts have to say about our future relationships with Russia.

The outlook is anything but rosy.

It seems we could all be blown to hell be-
cause of an incredible Kremlin capacity for
misjudging what they can get away with 
in their drive to communize the world. 

In other words, the cold war, though 
vastly changed, is far from over. 

It's perils are not diminishing. If any-
thing they're on the increase. 

And continued disintegration of the So-
viet bloc may tempt the Russians into new
and desperate measures. 

In short: the Reds are still on the make. 
And though they definitely do not want a 
nuclear war, they seem to be continually 
blundering to the brink.

Take the Cuban missile crisis, for exam-
ple. The Russians thought they could plant missiles in Cuba without obstacles. They
never dreamed President Kennedy would
stand up to them.

Another example, Czechoslovakia. The
Russians actually expected to be welcomed as they plunged into Prague.

In the end, either of these miscalcula-
tions could have triggered a showdown. A
showdown leading to a humiliating defeat. 
Or disaster. 

The cover story of the December issue 
of Nation's Business tells more of the story. 
(To over 2,000,000 of the nation's business
men.)

Why a political report in a magazine like 
ours? That's simple. If it affects business,
it'll be there.

Which is probably why we have over 854,000 businessmen paying to subscribe to our magazine.

Which, when you think about it, is at 
least one happy note to leave you with.

If you're an advertiser.

Make America a better place. Leave the country.

Agency: Young & Rubicam, Inc. 
Client: Peace Corps

Of all the ways America can grow, one way is by learning from others. 

There are things that you can learn in the Peace Corps you can't learn anywhere else. 

You could start an irrigation program. And find that crabgrass and front lawns look a little ridiculous. When there isn't enough wheat to go around Nepal. 

You could be the outsider who helps bring a Jamaica fishing village to life, for the first time in 300 years. And you could wonder if your country has outsiders enough. In Watts. In Detroit. In Appalachia. On its Indian reservations. 

Last year,  for the first time, Peace Corps alumni outnumbered volunteers who are now out at work overseas. 

By 1980, 200,000 Peace Corps alumni will be living their lives in every part of America. 

There are those who think you can't change the world in the Peace Corps. 

On the other hand, maybe it's not just what you do in the Peace Corps that counts. 

But what you do when you get back.

Dropouts become losers. 

They lose.

And we lose.

Today's dropouts might have been tomorrow's scientists. Or doctors. Or teachers. 

But what might have been will never be. 

For one out of three high school students don't stick around to graduate. 

The dropout is ten times as likely to become a juvenile delinquent. 

And the juvenile delinquent is perhaps a thousand times more likely to become a criminal. 

It doesn't have to happen.

Good schools with good teachers and food facilities can produce good citizens. And that can make our world a better place in which to live. 

Which is why money spent on education represents the best investment we can make. 

An investment in the future of America.

Highlights and working notes on the ethical limits of discrediting the truthful witness, observing modern directorates and ethics rules that fail to prevent truth distortion by unethical means (Source research by Marquette Law Review).

History provides the epic example of Enron and a cunning Board of Directors of misleaders, a team of flimflam artists who used sly rhetorical skills to bamboozle the public, turning night into day. In this conception, directorates tell stories only in order to seduce and beguile regulators who fall prey to the advocate’s star-crossed tricks.

Why do company Directors employ unethical, false story techniques to advance a false defense when ethical means are available? The exponential effects of this troublesome behavior requires that the firm’s every word, action and attitude be consistent with the conclusion that is dishonest. Board directors are the ultimate self policing body of an organization, responsible for setting the tone for ethical rules and standards.

Not only are modern ethical rules unable to prevent directorates who use of false-story techniques, but little can be done in the way of reforming the rules themselves so that they can more effectively regulate the unethical means by which honesty is systematically discredited and made to look untruthful.

As witnessed in New York State recently, top leaders sometimes ignore ethical rules by rationalizing away conduct known to be unethical standards of professional behavior.

More abstract-oriented discussions concerning whether society’s best interests are advanced with attempts to distort outcomes by discrediting the truth has even impacted virtual currency innovation out of New York. These points simply seem invented as an outrageous scenario presented to the public by way of question, yet they are indeed true.

There is a pattern of routinely using an arsenal of tricks to subvert the truth. The culprit may argue that the version of events is untruthful, because of a motive to fabricate the truth. In actuality, incompetence is the only true motive to fabricate directorate supported dishonesty.

Now more than ever, honest and ethical leaders know that each time a directorate uses talents and skills to pollute the marketplace with lies (either explicit or implicit) to manipulate profits is an act that initially diminishes the chances of a prosperous society.

Such practice of engaging in conduct that involves dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation is impermissible and should not be tolerated. Without swift action, the public may lose confidence in both system wide innovation and maximizing the whole human potential of our species.

Alternatively, employing truthful answers to string together a series of inferences that collectively weaken the case of interlocking directorates.

Vigorously defending potentially problematic interlocking directorates can be systematically re-purposed with the goal of protecting the innocent.
