    A reply on Talk: Jamil Abu-Wardeh: The Axis of Evil Middle East Comedy Tour

    Nov 12 2010: Humanity has not learned any lesson from history, and governments keep doing the same mistakes over and over in order to acquire more power, not for the sake of power itself, but for the economic issues.

  • A comment on Talk: Dan Buettner: How to live to be 100+

    Jul 7 2010: Thank you Dan for this insightful talk.
    I would like to point that wealth and/or easy access to health care are strongly related to life expectancy. For that reason, life expectancy is higher in developed countries than developing countries. And, even within the same country, let’s take the US as an example, according to a study published in the online journal PLoS, the wealthy have longer life expectancies than the poor; and this due to the “abundance” of social and health programs in those parts of the country.

  • A comment on Talk: Euvin Naidoo on investing in Africa

    Jun 27 2010: Indeed ,nowadays, investing in Africa seems enticing. However, I wonder if these investments are going to benefit the majority of the population or just the "elite" that surround the government.
    Africa needs the help of the international NGOs and the contribution of the developed countries in order to fight against foreign corruption in the first place.
