 Satnam 40 here. I just watched the most amazing docker called the rescue is produced by National Geographic It's about the rescue of those 12 Thai boys on the soccer team and their coach from a cave when The the rains came and they'd been exploring the cave and then the rains like flooded Okay, so they couldn't get back out and so you know How the boys got out is because there were these cave divers all right these two two British men who did not look particularly impressive look rather scruffy, but they heard about the problem there flew to Thailand and They figured out with help how to get the boys out now they had a lot of opposition from the Thai authorities and If anything had gone wrong these British divers and then the other Angler that everyone seemed to be Anglo that they brought in to rescue these boys They would have faced you know life imprisonment or death through the Thai legal system So Thailand brought in their Navy SEALs that like their elite divers, but they had no Experience or ability with cave diving All right, so they were useless Looking at the Darko. It seems that every important person who played a major role in the rescue of these kids was not Thai So not every group is equally competent at every single task so the continent with the highest Per capita record for plane crashes is Africa Along with Russia and Southeast Asia. So when you had those two Boeing max planes that crashed I Where did the crashes occur one was on Ethiopian Airlines and one was on my Thai Airlines? Remember you had that that Malaysian airliner that just disappeared All right, that doesn't happen to American airliners doesn't happen to Australian airliners Qantas has never had a fatal crash the Australian airline All right, the worst safety records come from Africa followed by Southeast Asia and Russia and so There are some groups who I'd be a little more dubious about entering a skyscraper that they had designed and built an overseen and maintained right and another big fan of flying out of Malaysian or a Thai airline because these These countries have horrible safety records and it's not just some isolated safety event This this lack of competence shows throughout these societies So it was these two scruffy Englishmen who had this minority sport interest who had this minority hobby interest of cave diving who Yes, that is Bonhoeffer on my shelf. It was these two scruffy Englishmen who who Would with the help from their Anglo friend who found a way out for these Thai boys and Saved their lives at great risk to them because if anything had gone wrong They would have been put on trial in the horrible Thai legal system So all the ways that the the Thai Navy SEALs try to do things We're not gonna work out the kids would have died So just left to the Thai's own devices those kids would have died for sure The only way out for these two scruffy English gentlemen so Competence matters and competence in each task. It's not equally distributed among all groups so These 12 Thai kids and their coach are alive today primarily because of these two scruffy Anglo cave divers and then US Army sent in help and Then these these guys got some of their other cave divers who are all pasty White Anglo guys pretty much became in and did this and the things that the the Thai's tried to do to rescue these kids didn't have a hope but like one Thai Navy SEAL died trying to navigate the the cave system so Keep diving is a particular skill. All right. It's not just the same as like regular diving and so Some people Like Anglos in particular. It's like it in the in the school system Like which type of kid is the most likely to do absurd amounts of work above and beyond What what the course requires? All right, it's it's usually Anglo's right. They do They're the ones who who develop science people like Charles Darwin. They're the ones who you know often Sees a hobby like editing Wikipedia entries like who puts together and edits most Wikipedia entries It's the same sort of people who go into a Thai cave Right and rescue kids that nobody else in the world Would would be confident enough to rescue So these scruffy looking Anglo dudes, right? I know that we're hearing all this in the media about how evil white man I well it took white man to go into Thailand to rescue these kids and no one else could do it. No one else was Remotely competent enough to to do it incredibly moving documentary the rescue Came out this year from National Geographic You will not regret watching this movie and The these Anglo men who put their life on the line, right they would have They risked at all. They had to sedate these kids To bring them out underwater and and sedating kids that you then bring out underwater is incredibly incredibly risky Right and these these altruistic Anglo guys who put their lives on the line They would have had a very very nasty end if anything had gone wrong But there were no alternatives to what they were proposing so Just just the mammoth gap in competence between these Anglo dudes and what the the tie The ties were trying to do was just enormous It's a competence counts competence matters expertise matters Expertise is not equally distributed for every single task equally among every single group in the world All right, some groups have expertise in some areas and other groups have Disproportioned amounts of expertise in other areas and they would not supposed to recognize reality that different groups have different gifts But that's still reality. You can reject reality, but the reality is different groups have different gifts
