oge comments on Tentative Thoughts on the Cost Effectiveness of the SENS Foundation

Malnutrition is the visible surface symptom of “these are uncivilised, backwards people caught in a series of petty tribal wars”.

I agree.

Could you tell me how you came about the list of African backward values? I currently live in an African country; I’d like the names of all the values I’d need to instil to avoid seeing preventable suffering around me.

(FYI I’d thought that having a public list of salaries and paying higher taxes, a la Norway, would be mostly sufficient to fix things)

Not in particular, the human brain tends to collect overall impressions rather than keep track of sources.

This sounds like a seriously tough battle.
