Talk:Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber

Untitled
I reverted a change made by user Peterdbvp because I didn't think it could be considered neutral point of view. Wikipedia describes NPOV as "presenting conflicting views without asserting them". The deleted half-paragraph (shown below) quotes Servan-Schreiber. That is just presenting a view. But it also calls the quote "remarkably prescient". That asserts the view.

The insertion gave me the impression that it was made, not to add to our knowledge of JJSS, but to make a political statement about current events. Here it is:

The book was also, incidentally, remarkably prescient about the political implications of America's growing technological superiority: "America today still resembles Europe... By 1980 the US will have entered another world, and if we fail to catch up, the Americans will have a monopoly on knowhow, science, and power. If Europe, like the Soviet Union, is forced out of the running, the United States will stand alone in its futuristic world. This will be unacceptable to Europe, dangerous for America and disastrous for the world... A nation holding a monopoly of power would look on imperialism as a kind of duty, and would take its own success as proof that the rest of the world should follow its example."

Jewish origins
Servan-Schreiber's name is found on the List of French Jews, but the article tells us nothing about that background. Did he identify with Judaism or the Jewish people? Dynzmoar (talk) 12:43, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Involvement with MicroWorlds
This page needs a section on Jeans Servan-Schreiber's involvement on Seymour Papert's MicroWorlds Project in particular what the controversy was and how in particular scientists and engineers can avoid (the mistakes) politicians of his type. 209.129.244.250 (talk) 21:17, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
