there's also notes for this presentation on this pad, line 2-60 >> https://circulations.constantvzw.org/2023/disobedient2/etherdump/pad/p/Thursday 

negative and positive peace

peace index
how is this different than a NATO talk?? 

84 countries became more peaceful 
79 countries became worse

UN, cipri in sweden, reporters without border. Reporters in site that measure the emotional impact of the news. This is all data that is ised to measure the peace %

there are also critics that question the data. Some of them say that u need to abolish the military if u wanna become peaceful

perception of criminality
access to small arms
military service
violent demonstrations (the economic impact of these demonstration)
+++++
How might we measure peace in a way that takes into account the contributions of seemingly more peaceful countries to the peace-lessness in others? 
Text artist Jenny Holzer's artwork: "None of us can be liberated if other groups are not" could apply in this way? If none of us is at peace until all are at peace, what are 'first aid kits' needed globally and interactively (between groups both on a personal and more global scale)?

"The Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP) is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit think tank dedicated
to shifting the world’s focus to peace as a positive, achievable, and tangible measure of human well-being
and progress.
IEP achieves its goals by developing new conceptual frameworks to define peacefulness; providing
metrics for measuring peace; and uncovering the relationships between business, peace and prosperity as
well as promoting a better understanding of the cultural, economic and political factors that create peace"
