I like your ideas "reduce the incidence of conflict" - maybe by some mild psychedelic or brain stimulation? and "Improved translation/global English fluency". I would be happy to provide you two awards - how can I do it? Also links are useful, thanks.

I'm not sure "Improved translation/global English fluency" is an unalloyed good... could lead to a harmful global monoculture (putting all our eggs in one basket culturally). Feel free to reduce my award count by one :)

Also helping Westerners chill out could leave them less prepared to deal with belligerent Middle Easterners.

Ok, how I could send it to you?
