It is amazing how Myrhvold can fool so many people with this bullshit of "we created a mosquito killer laser gun that will fight malaria in poor countries".
Most of places with endemic malaria don't even have eletricity. Mosquito nets are efficient enough and much cheaper. Sanitation and draining of dirty water works even when people are not sleeping.
But, still, the guy keeps fooling people with his pretended good intentions. He is a master P.R.
- rhizome 14y agoHe's not so much a master of PR as someone who is defined as our better, so he gets free, unquestioning (for the most part...) publicity for whatever thoughts he throws out. People like him, unless they are revealed to be involved in moral turpitude or actual crime, receive credibility a priori. http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/better[noun] http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/better[noun]
