I admire the work of Freitas. But the first part of this talk with its death
figures is tiring and boring. You could completely delete it until slide 35,
say 3 or 4 sentences about death tolls and then start with the paragraph
under slide 35. The rest though ist fantastic and worth reading.

That's the trouble with most of these celebrities. They don't have or think
they don't need an editor who is self-condident enough to cut the manuscript
to make it digestible.
