Discovered in 2003:

The underlying law of nature may be the world's most useful, profitable and encouraging knowledge.

e.g., The ULN is the most effective and efficient means to improve the performance of any process.

Great personal, economic and societal advantages exist to identifying the underlying law of nature first hand, for oneself, then understanding its principles and, finally, applying it fully in all aspects of life.

Bing or Google it as a start.

at 43:00 sachs refuses to "elaborate"? "believe me" why should I believe you if you do not support your conclusion? Provide evidence!! do not make wimpy arguments

[mmametja]

Well Morgan is my Prime Minister to be honest he was very good at highlighting the obvious ...................... he  is not nsnyc with the global discourse of poverty.

Notice that jeffrey sachs is a fan of gmo seeds made by monsanto. monsanto is trying to outlaw heirloom seeds

[munyamunos]

Morgan is one of the smartest & emerging African leaders who has the vision for a poverty-free Africa. Leaders like Morgan need the world's support to be able to change Africa's path towards development for the better...
