Economic historians call this The Great Divergence.

A former member of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

And it has no rules to its regulatory system.

17.Regulatory framework and criteria fortest development and use

Not a big divergence in terms of uniform design for border guards admittedly, but in almost every other respect, it's a huge divergence.

So the tree of life is normally divergence over time.

Aegyptopithecus marked a divergence of old world monkeys, and apes.

There are six which I think explain the Great Divergence.

And you can see here that there's an exponential Great Divergence.

But one thing is for sure, the Great Divergence is over, folks.

So it's necessary to have both convergence, and divergence to establish, construct validity.

And this slide here is the best simplification of the Great Divergence story

You may think we can explain the Great Divergence in terms of geography.

We don't have a regulatory system able to ensure that that production is safe.

Now we have divergence over time, but we've created the third dimension of area.

If they did, the regulatory commission would shut the gas plant down, same with coal.

So it really doesn't look like empire is a great explanation for the Great Divergence.

They asked governments for supporting regulatory regimes, and in a lot of cases they got it.

However incredibly inadequate the nuclear disaster prevention plan is, the chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

We'd have to cut his higher brain functions without disturbing the purely automatic and regulatory systems.

And that sometimes leads to bit of a divergence in why we're doing what we're doing.

There's been attempt by Monsanto to write a 'Monsanto Protection Act', it is called the Biotechnology Regulatory Act of India it's a de regulation act, but in typical Monsanto double speak, it's called a regulatory act.

And we have two major regulatory processes that affect how alert we are at any given moment.

And you can see here the huge divergence that happens in property ownership between North and South.

But before we go through that process of divergence, there is actually quite an important first step.

It's not rebuilding Europe, it's reversing the divergence for the bottom billion, so that they actually catch up.

And this is part of a really extraordinary phenomenon, and that is the end of the Great Divergence.

But it's this process of trial and error that explains this great divergence, this incredible performance of Western economies.

And the result is an even bigger divergence in a very short space of time than happened in Germany.

They got on a boat, and yet another divergence the boat was either going to Canada or to Australia.

We had a financial regulatory regime based on the assumptions that traders were rational creatures who wouldn't do anything stupid.

We're at best ignored, and maligned and abused, at worst, by negligent regulatory agencies, pernicious zoning and lax governmental accountability.

Well, I can tell you that this divergence that you're seeing here doesn't happen only in our five minute experiment.

In any case, as you may remember, the Great Divergence reaches its zenith in the 1970s, some considerable time after decolonization.

It turns out that driving, with its associated design implementation and regulatory hurdles, is actually a harder problem to solve than flying.

The Group considers that a more explicit regulatory framework for test development needs tobe set up throughout the EU. See report, chapter 6.2.2.

To what's arguably become a rogue division inside a federal agency, operating,if not completely autonomously, then well outside the standard regulatory purview.

Contour Crafting as a disruptive technology will have a number of impacts, including economic impacts, employment impacts, social impacts, regulatory, environmental, and architectural impacts.

To put that into perspective, this red vertical bar here marks the divergence time of humans from chimpanzees, a mere seven million years ago.

Also, since microbes are relatively easy to manipulate, and even eliminate, they can be readily modified for better functioning, regulatory control, targeting and even delivery.

A modern market is more than a website it's a web of interoperable marketplaces, back office mechanisms, regulatory regimes, settlement mechanisms, liquidity sources and so on.

Enlightened self interest, because if that economic divergence continues for another 40 years, combined with social integration globally, it will build a nightmare for our children.

These breakthroughs, we need to move those at full speed, and we can measure that in terms of companies, pilot projects, regulatory things that have been changed.

That's the job of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, but their earlier resolute stance has been swayed whenever they had a closed meeting with the electric power companies.

We see it in the constant appearance of slang and jargon, of the historical change in languages, in divergence of dialects and the formation of new languages.
