magic, oh, now Africa is developed.

It is going to take a generation or two or three.

But there really is both a change towards a better Africa and there is a lot of knowledge on how to make them even better.

So this is really about doing the simple, smart stuff.

And that gets back to the point we started with with Gates.

Ask how much good do these policies do for human welfare?

Don't cut tons of CO2 first.

to help people a tiny bit in 100 years, focus on doing some stuff that will actually help them right now.

Well, there's actually two books now that you gave me the opportunity.

One is in climate and it's called False Alarm.

And it basically tells you, yeah, you're sure there's a problem.

Not the end of the world.

Here's how to stop making your kids scared.

The other one is Best Things First.

And that's about all these smart things like

All these are incredibly smart things where a little money can do a lot of good.

So false alarm and best things first.
