Digital Cooperation and Diplomacy – Act 2: The Art of Health
A healthy mind begins with a healthy body. Somewhere along the way, our health was partitioned, and
science was separated from our social and human wellbeing. The solution is in community health, where
the interactions keep us healthy and the care and help of others is the natural prescription. Our community
and family networks complement science and can multiply its effect if we can learn to harness it. The
more we integrate health and learning, the happier we become. In our digital lives, we can learn from
holistic medicine, which recognizes the benefit of both science and community.
In community, we are better equipped to share and protect data than as individuals, to identify who can be trusted. We can learn healthy data habits just like we learn healthy physical and mental habits. Just as each of us protects
ourselves against disease, we must also share our data only with those we know we can trust.
