The reader should know that he or she is only 1 of 800 people that will hear about the things I write about today. What that says to me is, that if you are reading this then in some way or another you are being introduced to globanomics like no one else is. You are 1 of 800 in the entire world. In some small way, that makes all of you globanomcists. 

Just the same, I think to become a “real globanomacist”, to be certified that is, would require one to show that they understand and/or proficient in the factors that went into globanomics, including, love, reciprocity, microeconomics, freedom over subjugation, etc. It would require understanding PERC and the National Hierarchy of Needs scoring system. In fact, it would require having been part of a team in constructing a fully functional scoring system.

Anyway, I think you are getting the point. During some of my more enlightened moments, I have even constructed a boilerplate for a globanomacist master's degree program. It would be designed somewhat like Rickover’s nuclear power school program that I explained in my recent book, The Cold War Submariner, The Cold War Submariner: Boswell, Jim: 9781661139339: Amazon.com: Books. But in addition, to the 10-11 courses that a student candidate would complete, they would also be teamed together in groups of 10. I accepted a total class of first-year candidates to be 60. That would give me six teams that could compete against each other. 

And the competition was to see which could build the best national scoring given the National Hierarchy of Needs scheme.

For the first-year program, I recommended getting 30 U.S. kids and 30 non-U.S. kids—mixing them up equally, too, amongst the six different teams.

All sixty of the class will graduate, assuming, of course, they could pass a final oral board and comprehensive final, but the team that wins the scoring system will be further recognized for their accomplishment.

The evaluation of the six scoring systems will be entirely mathematical. All outside judgments and prejudices are eliminated. What we will do is this. We will look at how well each scoring system correlates to the other five. The scoring system which shows the best overall correlation with its competitors will win the “preliminary” best model award. 

Using the six-month program course period as an assumption, final team models would be submitted after five months, leaving one last month to go over the model results in more detail. What we would do there is go over each individual scoring module (e.g., Food, Water, Shelter, etc.). We would again run correlation analysis, but this time at each modular level. From that we would take the best submodule, and work ourselves up the line, in that manner, to create a composite best model.

It will be the “composite best model” that will be used to determine which team’s model correlates best with it that will receive the “final best team model”. That would be the group that would receive this prestigious award and recognition.

By the way, I would expect that all the models would somewhat correlate well with each other—any real oddball scheme would stick out like a soar thumb.

I thought that my old public administration school, Indiana University, in Bloomington, IN would be an appropriate place to set up this kind of graduate-level program. It is a bit different from the typical college setup, but it need not shake up the system. It’s just the school would be working on a “six-month schedule” for one program, while the remainder operated on a semester schedule. Who should care about the difference?

There will be all kinds of good and interesting jobs for globanomacists. Just think about it. You could get involved with scoring associated with the World’s Hierarchy of Needs best scoring system, or a national one, because they will be developed, too. If not scoring, what about Love or Reciprocity. There is much to learn about these subjects, too. Freedom versus subjugation. I could go on and on.

Anyway, as some of you are coming to find out, you are a select group who can again, be somewhat called a globanomacist. I do not know the profile of my audience followers, but I simply assume it is a mix of young and old with a fair mix of both U.S. and international people. I am sure you could drop the title if it does nothing for you. But for the youngest of my followers, I thought they might be potential candidates for the first six-month class developed at Indiana University. It probably would never hurt to be the first of the firsts.
