12/16/2012
Shinzo Abe's committment to change Article 9 in the consitution of Japan which limits Japan's military role. His maternal grandfather Nobusuke Kishi was commerce and industry minister during the war and was post war prime minister when the Japan-U.S. security treaty was signed. He was the first prime minister born in the postwar period when he became prime miister in 2006. He is less influenced by the legacy of the prewar and war period as described in his 2006 book "Toward a Beautiful Nation."

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
