RE: Could VYB end world Hunger ? 🌍
There is this well-known saying: Give a man a fish and he has food for a day. Give a man a fishing rod and he has food for a lifetime, or something like that.
I would refrain from "give a man" at all. It is better that this "man" finds himself in an environment where he is not prevented from being able to take care of himself. The stupid talk about "save the poor children from hunger" is an eye-wash that only minds that want to be given something themselves all the time can fall for.
I wonder how you manage to hold your position at a teaching institution with your liberal attitude. Can you tell me how you do it?

It also helps that a lot of donors to our university are successful alums who believe in the importance of individual freedom and competitive markets.
I teach entrepreneurship and we have an extremely vibrant School of Entrepreneurship. And, socialism (i.e. government ownership and/or control over the means of production) is about as antithetical to entrepreneurship as you can get.
