Organizations like Google are good at understanding people's income, happiness, and needs. But does it work so well for basic human needs?

    Satisfying basic human needs is insufficient to "stop wars on the planet". Individuals who have their basic needs met occasionally feel the need to "liberate" or "ethnically cleanse" other places.

    If they can stop wars, they also can start wars. I'm not sure what is more scary.

    Anyway, one of my favorite xkcd https://xkcd.com/652/
