  • everything and everyone in the world casts an 'information shadow', an aura of data
  • credit card companies can predict with 98% accuracy, two years in advance, when a couple is going to divorce, based on spending patterns alone
  • His take on the education system, for example, is that it is a badly designed game: students compete for good grades, but lose motivation when they fail. A good game, by contrast, never makes you feel like you've failed: you just progress more slowly. Instead of giving bad students an F, why not start all pupils with zero points and have them strive for the high score?

    In the USA, intellectual piracy laws outlaw piracy of goods from all forms of the market, from medical to the watch industry. This helps prevent the origenal producers of drugs and products from losesing billions on the market. China does not have such laws, allowing for piracy of everything from Viagra to Rolex, causing companies to lose billions

    China does not have these laws primarily because under communism, there is no privet property, including ideas. This allows for easy bootlegging of products, and when this involves drugs such as Viagra, it endangers the lives of the people using the bootlegged drug, because there has not necessarily been the same testing of the bootlegged drug as there is on the drug made by the company. Intellectual property laws ensure quality within a product.
