That was a beautiful piece. But in all of these Utopian dreams!, you did not specifically acknowledge corruption and the impact on our society. Are these Utopian cities going to be run by humans or robots? How can these run efficiently without corruption which is inherent in people? African development and progress is majorely hampered by corruption
It's an important question! But the way I see it, corruption is often a symptom of a deeper problem—in Africa's case, bad, senseless laws that keep us poor. For example, when you have to pay a ridiculous 45% tariff on imports, it becomes faster and cheaper to pay a bribe than to adhere to the law. By building better business environments, I believe that we can significantly cut down on corruption.
