Global Poverty Myths
February 2, 2012
Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along. This applies to play as well as work.

"We have to know a little more about the world. I have a neighbor who knows 200 types of wine. He knows everything. He knows the name of the grape, the temperature, and everything. I only know two types of wine — red and white. But my neighbor only knows two types of countries — industrialized and developing. And I know 200, I know about the small data... I'm telling you that there are many dimensions of development. Everyone wants your pet thing. If you are in the corporate sector, you love micro-credit. If you are fighting in a non-governmental organization, you love equity between genders. Or if you are a teacher, you'll love UNESCO, and so on. On the global level, we have to have more than our own thing. We need everything. All these things are important for development, especially when you just get out of poverty and you should go towards welfare."

Thanks for "making" me take the time to listen to Rosling's entire presentation. While I have not seen enough TED talks to compare, his charm, humour, and special effects topped off by the sword swallowing seemed rather like a trade show presentation. His information was indeed valuable, but presented at such a rate that I fear that audiences may miss devastation behind those numbers. I would be interested in knowing the number of deaths that will take place over 100 years behind "Governance," "health," "education," etc. Human beings have also gotten much, much better at killing each other.

The last sentence . . . especially when you are just get out of poverty and you should head towards welfare . . . is very confusing. He talks about having/gaining knowledge and then cites this continum of poverty to welfare?
