I wish fertility drops much harder in Nigeria. We have a very high poverty rate over here (40%) [1], but projections say we'll surpass China in population by 2100 [2]. I dread to think of what'll it'll be like that projection

You have a very good point, and it's what I think also. Eventually in many, or I dare so most organizations, the power-hungry, self-serving people will somehow arm-wrestle their way to the top. It's just a matter of time, may take

From your replies, it seems you may be a Mormon, and I want to ask you a question in good faith. What's the point of keeping all that wealth? From what I can tell, it's not like the leaders are using it as their piggy bank. Is the

Ehn, the guy has good point though. For one, I think he strategically made the announcement shortly after pledging 90% of his wealth for charitable purposes [1]. Had he not done it before scolding the church for not helping the poor enough,

I was raised as a Christian (Evangelical) but abandoned the religion when I was 16 or so. My reasons for leaving are similar to Green's, save for the LGBT stuff (no, I care about LGBT rights but it just wasn't on my mind at that t

Well, I disagree that it's the job of teachers to raise kids. That's entirely the job of a parent, teachers can help at will, but that's too much of a burden to place on them. Raising kids is hard and difficult and the person

Or Patrick Orlando and Donald Trump, who reportedly discussed their SPAC merger months before Orlando sold shares to investors. But then, I think enforcing this no-contact law will be hard, i.e. difficult to prove unless regulators obtain e

I want to say no, but that's unfortunately the reality in many places. In my country (Nigeria), what we get every four years is the choice between one despot, albeit an educated, reasonable one, and another corrupt despot who tacks on

That site has unfortunately gone downhill. It used to be that Quora had real world experts to answer almost any question with excellent detail. In fact, scrolling through Quora looking at different answers on different topics was a major pa

I think there'll be major conflict of interest if a founder does that. The closest thing I've observed to that scenario is Group Nine, a digital media company, which launched a SPAC that it planned to merge with another media comp

Anecdote here. I live in Nigeria, what you'll call a third-world country, and our Covid journey has been funny. We basically took much precautions earlier in the pandemic but later on reverted to life as usual. Markets, restaurants, of

They're not necessarily scams, but SPACs have more leeway as regards regulations, so it's no surprise we see shady folks flocking towards it. For example, the kind of financial projections allowed in SPAC disclosures will never pa

This is something I always ponder. My country (Nigeria) has a relatively low incarceration rate -- 33 in 100,000 [1] -- compared to let's say America -- 639 per 100,000! [2] --but I wouldn't say we're more safe,in fact we&#x2

If you believe this, you must be living in a bubble. This will be akin to someone from the midwest not wanting to move to California because of drug-loving hippies. It's kinda a gross generalization.

Yeah, sure, I'm in no way downplaying the health risks of the younger group that get infected or that unvaccinated folks are straining the healthcare system. Was just making a slight observation ...the high vaccination rate on the 65+

As of December, 95% of US adults aged over 65 had gotten at least one vaccine dose and 87% two doses [1] which is considered "fully vaccinated" at this point. Seems like the group it affects most is taking the pandemic really seri

I'm from Nigeria and these "cults" are a menace in our universities, especially those run by the government. The irony is that they were originally formed as political organizations to institute change, including by one of ou
