Last week Scilla was in Baku, Azerbaijan for the 5th Global Baku Forum on “The Future of International Relations: Power and Interests” (with 60 current or recent presidents and prime ministers representing 60 countries).
Scilla’s job was to address the question: “Is extremism and populism the biggest threat to international security?” so she drew attention to the major challenges humanity now faces, including global warming, over-population, the rich-poor gap and unprecedented levels of migration. Since none of these ‘threats’ can be dealt with by weaponry, it has become essential for us to develop a higher level of intelligence. For this Scilla deems the flourishing of feminine intelligence as essential.
