HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_018232.txt

The Seventh Sense is a book written by Joshua Cooper Ramo that explains the revolutionary nature of our age and the need for a new instinct. The book discusses how the power of connection has changed the nature of objects, leading to new sources of power that are eroding old order even as a new one emerges. The author describes the process of constant, instant connection tearing at old power arrangements and predicts the combination of artificial intelligence with faster networks will lead to significant changes in the future.

The document is a tribute to former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated on November 4, 1995. Mortimer Zuckerman, the author of the piece and editor-in-chief of U.S. News & World Report at the time, reflects on Rabin's bravery and vision in pursuing peace with Palestine, despite the risks involved. Zuckerman argues that Rabin's death did not extinguish the fire of Israel's commitment to peace, but rather inspired a renewed dedication to the cause. He highlights the significance of the support shown by the United States and other nations at Rabin's funeral, as well as the emotional speech delivered by King Hussein of Jordan in which he referred to Rabin and his wife Leah as "my brother" and "my sister." Overall, Zuckerman emphasizes that Rabin's legacy continues to inspire efforts towards peace and understanding between Israel and its neighbors.
