So I can't see why we cannot apply this intelligence to solve a few issues.
For example, an extra 6% on everyone's annual tax would guarantee the end of famine in Africa. Would you be happy to pay it? I would be annoyed of course but it's a harm for the better. I just think it's time to take into ourselves and take advantage from our skills to solve issues. And take that from a guy who isn't so keen on charity and stuff.
