A call recently voiced to form a Council of Wisdom, taking over the challenged, overwhelmed and troubled United Nations' responsibility in Mesopotamia today. Unlike Ms. Bell, driven by geopolitics, the proposed Council of Wisdom is inspired and guided by the most recent understanding of the laws of Thermodynamics; "In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most. No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores. No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it. This universal truth applies to all systems. Energy, like time, flows from past to future" (2017). The British Institute for the Study of Iraq, and Oxford - can play a leading role in the initiative, inviting minds into the new entity, like Jim Al Khalili, Alison Shan Price and their class of thinkers. The Council is likely to be the blueprint replicated for many other nations, progressively - as the world is quickly entering today the post fossil fuels era of reckoning, mourning and wisdom.
