SA, in his usual kidding/not kidding way said he might have solved Africa's problems. A Nigerian leader quoted Scott's principle of talent stacking, surmised that leader had read his book, and that will lay the foundation to ushering in prosperity to that country, and then the continent.
My long term assumption about most all places is that they can't avoid prospering in the future. When AI becomes good enough, asking it how to get the best returns on the current set of resources will allow even the least educated, lowest awareness individuals to make better decisions than they otherwise would.
