THE KONGQUEST

Interesting. Jay Walker says that English is the world’s second language. English is the common language to solve the world’s common problems. I’m not too sure about the mania part of his speech because English has been put into adoption by many countries for a long time but he makes a good point that English is the default bridge between many people from different regions of the world. Having this common communication channel is key to moving forward as a world community.

I just caught Nathan Wolfe’s talk at TED about how viruses are passed from animals to humans and how him and his team at the Global Virus Forecasting Initiative are tracking down and educating people to deal with problematic animals. It’s a great talk and an eye opener on how deadly viruses begin and spread to the mass population on our world.
