High tech still a magnet to low tech areas.

Thousands of Africans have abandoned their homes in search of a better life in
Europe. The journey is long and dangerous and may not be successful. African
journalist Sorious Samura fled the violence in his country, Sierra Leone, for
London. He later returned to document the violence there in an award-winning
documentary, "Cry Freetown."
Samura has now turned his focus on the arduous trek that Africans are making
and why they risk their lives for an uncertain future. In "Exodus From
Africa," Samura traces the steps of his fellow Africans leaving their homes
and families behind for the promise of Europe.

Useless hypotheses, etc.:
consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing, cultural relativism, GAC, Cyc, Eliza, and ego.
Everything that can happen has already happened, not just once,
but an infinite number of times, and will continue to do so forever.
(Everything that can happen = more than anyone can imagine.)
We won't move into a better future until we debunk religiosity, the most
regressive force now operating in society.
