Oh, hey, how is it going? Good?
I saw your video on I guess the end of college or whatever, or something like that in a... So I won't ask you, I'm is asking purely out of curiosity, what do you think of self­education is that good or
bad in self? Education is not objectively good or bad. There's two things I would say about it. And John, I don't know if you've got us on some kind of speaker phone thing, but there's something
going on over there, that's very, very distracting banging and wind noises. There's nothing bad about self­education objectively. There's two issues: one is, as a society if jobs
require certain educational achievements that are sort of adjudicated by a third party, which is essentially, what colleges and universities are you might learn just as much from self­education, but
you won't necessarily have the credential... That society might say You need to get a particular job. The other thing is, there is something to be said or learning from experts, and what people can teach
you and the fact that reading things in books is different than being able to interact with experts and learn in a different way, potentially being true, I was just curious what your thoughts were on that.
That's all I just you. Since a lot of people have argued. Oh well, it's better or it's worth or whatever. I really think it depends on the job. You're calling port. That's just me personally, right?
Okay, John won. Thank it seem busy. So I'm gonna let you go, but hope to hear from you again, a lot going on there. Let's go to... Or collar from The 570 area code who's calling today from 570
Davies fuse me, this is Casey, thank you so much for putting me on it's a real Andre to talk to you today.
Good, I have a real question I have a real question for a day day. Okay, real is I would share about...
I use a... No, go ahead, I was kidding, right? Alright buddy, I had no... Jimmy Carter has been involved a lot with the gain or eradication and I'm also familiar with the principle that the more you
do something, the actual less returns, you get on it, the diminishing value diminishing marginal rise. Yeah, yeah, that's absolutely right. But my question was, do you think it's actually worth it for Mr.
Carter to continue doing what he's doing, with a gain were to try to eliminate it, even though it does that a marginal value. Like the further you go down. What do you think that's an exception for the
eradication of a disease? Either can't come back. So I do think that as a general principle, sometimes economic principles don't necessarily inform
what should be done once we consider humanity. So for example, getting rid of 99% of a disease is quite different than getting rid of 100% of it and in that case the additional marginal cost of that last
1% would be justified as far as the guinea worm. And Jimmy Carter specifically, I don't know enough about that in specific terms to really be able to say anything beyond that.
Well, he's been doing great work with it. 03/06/20 Page 5 of 17
davidpakmanshow­2020­03­06­commercialfree The only real problem that I was getting it eliminated in some of these war­torn African countries
where it's actually pretty unsafe to go in and most of the cases now, we're just in cats and dogs, not even humans. So it's really great to see the progress he's made on that and it's great to support that
foundation. Alright, appreciate it, great to hear from you. Jimmy Carter's work very good.
