6. We cannot live like us: We have to reduce our CO2 emissions instead of telling poorer nations not to use more CO2 as they improve their economies. People on level 4 use by far the most CO2 and have caused the problem by having done so for 100 years.
7. What goes on inside people’s bedrooms
8. Local health workers and government staff. Institutions are very important for human progress.
9. Time to read books. Technology, just like institutions, is an important factor for human progress.
10. Resist finding a scapegoat. Most problems are more complex than being caused by a single actor. If you want to change the world, you have to understand how it actually works and forget about punching anyone in the face.
1. Rushed decisions can be stupid and fatal (lots of people drowned on boats when they tried to avoid the roadblocks) (p. 224-5)

They should learn to think critically and stop learning stereotypes (in the media). They should learn to be humble and curious and realise how instincts can blur our understanding. Make them aware that the world keeps changing. (p. 248-9)
4. Using data to understand the globalised markets helps companies recognize growth opportunities in Asia and Africa (p. 252)
5. They should reject a dramatic worldview and set new standards for constructive news based on setting events in historical context. However, as news will always be sensationalist, it is up to us to learn to consume the news more factually. (p. 253)
6. A fact-based world-view is more comfortable. It creates less stress and hopelessness than the dramatic worldview which is negative and terrifying. We realise the world is not as bad as it seems and is getting better. We see what we have to do to keep making it better. (p. 255)
