  1. Excellent, top-notch, riveting speech that goes beyond the usual geo-political rhetoric by never forgetting the ordinary person in all that's going on in a world where nothing will surprise us anymore: tsunamis, wars, environment disasters, draughts, civil wars, religious wars; you name it and we've already been there done that. Ian, excuse me to criticize you when I could not even imagine doing what you do. But here goes: you are a center-stage personality and a global icon, but you should stay away from bringing the spotlight on you personally. Stay the way you come off best: pointing things out. You must not bring yourself into the picture, Ian. What do I mean by that? You said Henry the 'K' was around one hundred years-"and if you're lucky---or something like that---I will be here for another 50 years, too. So get ready for a lot more of seeing me, me, me------" etc. Do you see the mirage in what I am saying? This is where you go into overdrive and forget that you are most appreciated by not throwing in hypothetical statements about 'Ian Bremmer'. It is overkill; you want to not reference yourself at all or try to be funny at any time in a speech. Why do I say this? Because you are already someone of renown and it looks like you are patting yourself on the back i.e., "me, myself and I."
