To End Extreme Poverty, Give Cash — Not Advice | Rory Stewart | TED
Are traditional philanthropy efforts actually taking money from the poor? Former UK Member of Parliament Rory Stewart breaks down why many global development projects waste money on programs that don’t work.

Some things not to forget when redesigning cities for equity and inclusion:
* Total surveillance: Monitor everything, everyone, everywhere, all-the-time with
cameras, microphones, motion sensors, bathroom scales, and GPS. You cannot manage what you cannot measure!
* Use state-of-the-art AI to make sure everyone is maintaining adequate levels of equity and inclusion.
Train the AI to detect micro-agressions, misgendering, mansplaining, manspreading, etc. Impose appropriate fines for transgressions immediately so perpatrators can be re-educated on how to be part of a society.
* Implement an “army” of healthcare workers who can come to your door and test you for the latest virus or virus-like threat to the community. Wrong-think is a threat to mental hygiene and can spread like a virus. The healthcare army must be able to treat and eliminate all health threats to the community.

The biggest problem is 80% of Americans born after 1985 will not be able to pay off a house in their lifetime which is ridiculous. Especially with student loans if they took that money and bought a house instead of going to college we would be way ahead of the game but we’re all screwed no one’s of my generation is going to be able to retire or actually own anything. Most of us will be constantly in debt. how come they’ll teach you nuclear physics in high school but won’t teach you how to balance a checkbook cuz they don’t want you to know

The U.S. has been the most “inclusive” place for decades now. Stop acting like it hasn’t. There’s no systematic racism, the gender pay gap is nonexistent, we don’t kill or imprison homosexuals, we have immigrants of many nations. The real issue is people like to be victims and want to be irresponsible, and they want their opinion to matter and try to oppress those with different views. I’m looking at the left wing people. It’s just a left wing agenda, trying to make people feel oppressed when there’s really nothing to be oppressed by.

Stop pandering to huge companies? While Walmart is months in finally following guidelines… mom and pop shops that did follow, were shut down. Now, those loosing their businesses will be mixed into all.
The stunt Walmart pulled is like asking for condoms at the baby shower!
Huge companies do it because they are allowed to get away with it. Take Apple… news states they’ll give a twenty five dollar refund for forcing you to buy new phone, slowing current phone down. Apple phones are way more expensive than refund. Their refund is like using a coupon, not what it should have been

You Redesign cities for health and equity by stop trying to be the savior of minorities. The structure starts from a strong family (yes having a father in the household). After that strong families bind together (that’s called a neighbor). After strong neighborhoods are built ( trusting and interacting with the people that live on your street), you have a stronger community !! Bottom up, not top down.
Aside from that yes, plan the appropriate bus routes.

2017 Death Summary in NYC = 101,385
7/11/2020 Death Summary in NYC due to Covid-19 = 23,267 ???
7/11/2020 Death Summary in NYC other than Covid-19 = no word about that anywhere ???
Inadvertently, those who modified corona virus and made it COVID-19 eradicated all other disease from the world. Amazing. Now all we have to worry about is Covid-19.
I urge everyone to check data in their cities and compare.
Pandemic – definite No
Media induced mass WORLD Panic – definite Yes
But there is a “pandemic” going on for years now. Around 800,000 kids go missing each year in USA, a lot more around the world, and only a tiny fraction are found and reunited with their parents. What happens to the rest? Over a ten year stretch that is 8 million kids missing in USA alone. Now if that is not a problem, because I don’t see any main stream media covering that, then I don’t know what is.

What if some of use don’t like “inclusion”? What if (and I know this sounds crazy to some) some people like to live with their own kind, race, religion, etc. Isn’t this why interracial marriages are rare still?
This obsession with inclusion and “social justice” reeks with political agendas.

Basic econ: externalities and human capacity. If you want to talk about trade-offs you better be calculating the “true cost” as best you can. Human capacity to increase productivity, increasing GDP.

He sounds like a Dean of AGENDA 21-30 .
As an architect, he sure knows a lot about the UNs agenda to move everyone into the cities and remove their property rights. I heard nothing about God , Family, technology innovation, or even how a better moral compass can help everyone. They only focus on herding the people and surveillance for compliance.

Cities need to be deconstructed. Every citizen has a right to living within walking distance to fresh groceries and community jobs. However, the big business of city monopolies will never allow a loss of revenue or power.

You know how to design inclusive communities? Immediately stop the language of equity and inclusion when designing, and think about functionality, accessibility, and location. I’m not even going to watch the video; between the comments and the title, I can tell they’re overthinking the social aspect at the cost of the logical aspect of the design.
People don’t want to be pandered to, they just want good options.

This is sensible. Indeed there’s a silverlining in every storm (even in the covid 19 one). But my problem is that, in the past, there has been a lot of other catastrophes that have compelled architects and urban planners to advocate for urban gentrification and inclusivity. However, they have not been able to succeed at implementing them (at the ground-level). As such, Im not sure if it would be pragmatic to get excited about all the prospects that Vishaan is presenting…From the perspective of pragmatic execution, they lack innovativeness.

I thought this was going to be about accessibility for disabled people. Instead it’s just the same marxist propaganda that was debunked 100 years ago in the paper “Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth”. Mr. Chakrabarti, I suggest you read some Milton Friedman or Thomas Sowell.

How about not recycling Marxist ideas under the guise of ‘equity and diversity’ and instead working towards creating opportunity, incentive and human capital? How about actually referencing successful economic policies instead of those thoroughly debunked?
