Today, in camps and host communities across Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey, five year-old children are living the only life they have ever known — as refugees outside Syria’s borders, while war rages on in their home country. In Dadaab, Kenya, the world’s largest refugee camp, young women, whose families fled Somalia before they could walk, have grown […]
Introduction: A Country Built for Cars I remember when I first fell in love with cars. It started small with Hot Wheels when I was three and Micromachines when I was six. Everything about them was fast and exciting — even the commercials were narrated by the World’s Fastest Talker. I loved them. Then, when I turned 12, […]
Breakfast is the meal that we’re constantly told that we must eat. Supposedly, we should eat breakfast like a king in order to be lean and healthy — although the absurdity of eating more food in order to lose weight doesn’t seem to dawn on these geniuses. There’s nothing wrong with breakfast — just like there’s nothing wrong with […]

As Mark Suster points out, deflationary economics are often the driving force behind both (i) market expansion and (ii) new use-case creation for older technologies. What better case study is there […]
The exoneration of a man accused of the worst of crimes, genocide, made no headlines. Neither the BBC nor CNN covered it. The Guardian allowed a brief commentary. Such a rare official admission was buried or suppressed, understandably. It would explain too much about how the rulers of the world rule. The International Criminal Tribunal for […]
I have been filming in the Marshall Islands, which lie north of Australia, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Whenever I tell people where I have been, they ask, “Where is that?” If I offer a clue by referring to “Bikini”, they say, “You mean the swimsuit.” Few seem aware that the bikini […]
