The most fascinating about all of this is that his affirmations, conclusions and hopes about the future of poverty around the world are based on data, not on some abstract speculative historical theory.

I do believe that the world is getting better, I cant stand pessimists saying otherwise. I think Hans Rossler has proved my point many times and I think what he says is absolute genius. The largest problem I belive is climate change, It is so obvious that the damage we are doing to the atmosphere is very real, and we should definatley be doing alot more about it to benefit us in the long term.
