The human brain is largely for decoration. It's job is to cool blood and absorb "vapors" from food. Aristotle got it right. It is not largely capable of "thinking" We are proactively destroying human society. And many people are rallying behind it VCs investing in killing machines. Citizen's largely don't care, they are largely passive. It sort of reminds me of Richard Feynman who claimed he was extremely depressed.…
The people doing the most to actually improve material conditions in the third world are constantly poo-pooed by people who profit off these places remaining impoverished.
I think the NRxers are right here you need to go in there and crack skulls. Few will invest in long term skills if they aren't valuable. The simple fact: In these next 10 years Haiti will see more growth than the last 40 years, thanks in large part to this partnership.
