Optimizing Away Rome
I was listening to The World (Best. Program. Ever.) A reporter was interviewing a woman in Nigeria about her family’s economics. She was looking for a job to help support herself, her husband, and her nine children.
I think I see a possible area for optimizing Nigerian family economics.
Could we, like, petition the Vatican or something? Petition them to sell all their (billions of dollars worth of) assets, give the money to Oxfam, and transition all the priests to, say, gardening? Small-scale rural heirloom vegetable gardening, maybe? With the gardens at least, say, 10km from the nearest primary school?
