    China has already sewn up everything in Africa. They have invested billions into infrastructure essentially to make it easier to dig minerals out of the ground and get them to the coast for export. If China ever pulls out of Africa it will doom the countries being assisted now.

    Our former colonies have repeatedly proven that they have no idea how to run their economies. Rhodesia was the bread basket of the continent when whitey ran tings, Mugabe hoofed everyone out and called it Zimbabwe and it is an utter sh.it hole now with uncontrollable hyper inflation. Their 100 trillion dollar note is worth about 30p.

    Africa might be being kept poor but it has no idea how to manage wealth either.

    By creating data models to create issues they need to solve

    To create more money by giving us more debt

    To control us via this debt and these new solutions to problems they created

    everything is data driven, all companies look to gather as much data as they can get to learn from past mistakes and predict the future

    Aye, the record of the current head of the WHO highlights a fair amount of that. I'd not really considered the Chinese factor for Africa, so I'll have a look. <ok>

    It will not be too far in the future that humans will be totally irrelevant and surplus to requirements.

    Still, at least Toby is ahead of the game.

    It is, but a lot of those gathering the data are not that good at managing it, which accounts for some peculiar decisions in places, as the data they're basing things on, may not be as robust as they are lead to believe.

    I have seem presentations by people that really know how to interrogate and interpolate data, and those people really don't need much information to develop some incredible conclusions.

    He badly needs some Vitamin D does this bloke.

    Unless he's an albino, in which case I sincerely apologise, I most surely do.

    Cheers, I'll have a read. The bit I'll specifically look for will be how China plans to get the return on its investment, as I doubt they're getting involved for philanthropic reasons, and could be simply making a play for the mineral rights and destabalising the west.
