JUST IN: Elon Musk says his goal is to reach a $10 trillion net worth



David Reich on how much ancient DNA evidence has overturned so much consensus thinking how ancient cultures spread. "It wasn't peaceful, it wasn't friendly, it wasn't nice. Some of our archaeologist co-authors were just really distressed."


There's a whole industry built around African poverty. NGOs, consultants, conferences, awareness campaigns, celebrity endorsements. Billions of dollars flow through this system every year, employing thousands of well-paid Westerners. None of those people have an incentive for the problem to actually be solved, because if African poverty disappeared tomorrow, they'd all need new jobs. I'm not saying they're evil. I'm saying the incentive structure is broken, and incentives shape behavior more than intentions do.
