Amy Smith: Simple designs that could save millions of childrens' lives

[foxymophandlemaaa]

And most important, we need to find some technology that evaporates all politicians, religion and greed in the world. Thats the cause of starvation, wars and 3th world countries. Until then, we are only bucketing water from a boat that's is sinking as faster then the bucketing.

i would love to collect a few black children and put them in a pillow case and hang it from the celling and use it as a punching bag

[MrJivePirate]

We have to kill off the 3rd world to save the planet. you stupid cunt. the more 3rd world scum you save, the more elephants die the more lions die, the more nature dies. the 3rd world are useless eaters, they consume everything and they contribute nothing. they are a waste and they have to die now!

And by the way, people only help others, because they wanna feel good of themselves.. pretty selfish act seems to me...

[deathbydullcubicle]

@NinjaHotel It is a selfish act but you're wrong to generalize selfishness as an entirely bad thing. So what if people want to feel good about themselves for helping others out - isn't that what motivates everyone to do things?

[NinjaHotel]

I keep thinking about should welfare countries really help third world countries? I mean, Earth is so overpopulated. Somewhere people have to die... but luckily there are hurricanes and earthquakes in the world. Democracy really loves to feed the needys... but the more are needys in the world, the less are hard working people who actually build up a welfare sociaty, not very natural act....ugh, i may get lynched now...

But if we manage to do all this, people will HAVE to start using birth control. No question about it!

[CommentsSurvey]

FANTASTIC! Can't wait to try this out ourselves... CatherineTodd2 at gmail dot com

[dinogrower]

why didn't you teach them to distill alcohol for a fuel? Less smoke when burning. Easier to carry. More diverse uses. And they could save all that plant matter to grow mushrooms for antibiotics.

Why cook food? Research/google raw foods.

[RaayatALAnsaar]

Allahu akbar!

[pimpine2]

Save the world Amy!

[rjamesgoebel]

I will vote for her, no doubt.

[uuberTOOL]

those stats @ 12 min were kind of shocking

[givebirthathome]

Yes, but then there's the "mote in the brother's eye" aspect. "These are the issues that we need to come up with solutions for"?

Really? If this were Zambia, no one in this room would be ...sonaring whales until their brains explode; coming up with new weapons of mass destruction;etc .

These are issues we comfortable with; these are the type of technical issues we're good at being clever about; but we'd eliminate alot more suffering by confronting ourselves.

[uuberTOOL]

Amen to that. I'm afraid we're doomed. So many people are very comfortable, and do not care about personal improvement.

[givebirthathome]

I'm afraid we're doomed too, but I try, like Amy Smith, to just do what I can. I know you make those great videos, day after day.

A thought: many people are so UNCOMFORTABLE, they *can't* think about personal improvement, because its too terrifying not to conform. More people thought their parents were going to kill them than shows. When some of us can go there with people, it helps them change. Have you looked into Alice Miller,Eugene Gendlin,Stan Grof or Grant McFetridge?

[dnHooligan]

You surely DO get kicked a lot, if you refuse to conform. However, honor did not die, with the samurai.

No, I don't recognize any of their names, but thank you, they are jotted down.

[LokiClock]

Yes, let's not confront the issues of the poor, because it'll just lead to the issues of the bored and rich!

[MicheleMidnight]

RobHill from the Jock Brandis documentary sent me here. Brilliant and so appropriate. I am honored to know of you and the work you are doing.

[arloerdaka]

Truly inspiring

These tools are examples of the fundamentals needed to create wealth for people living in poverty

[JohnDeBunkTest]

These products need to be taught ... and that has to be done by piggybacking them on other programs that reach the people who need to use them. ... from one unit to one million units

[davethomson]

When I watched this video, I found it amazing to see how effectively science can be translated from abstract theories and ideas into practical solutions that truly help people. She's quite impressive.

[reivilo]

very emotional.... she doesn't work in theory and has found solutions. truely a rare gift! just able to be so effective on microscale. a wonder and an angel!

[Askomino]

Bunlari sadece sayfama gelip bakmaniz ve bisiler yazmaniz icin yaziyorum :) muahah

[fcuklover84]

she is my idol.

[Quasimotto69]

This woman is incredible. Elle est l'ami du monde.

[wleizero]

Whoa ... blow me away!!! Fixing the #1 killer of children under 5 while ALSO recycling waste and ALSO saving trees!?! Possibly the simplest and best ideas that can change the world for the better. Someone needs to find her a $1M research budget and a $20M marketing & education budget ... really!
