Wisdom

Looking at the news aggregator; there appears to be plenty of news to comment on, perhaps too much? No, there can never be too much news. I’m just not ready to write about my thoughts on it.  

OK, here’s one… “India's third-largest software exporter, Wipro Ltd., said Wednesday its fourth-quarter profit jumped by 42.7 percent driven by strong outsourcing orders from U.S. and European clients.” This news item fits right in with all I’ve been reading in The World is Flat. And I remember reading an article in Wired magazine, maybe 5 or more years ago, where the author made a case for India’s decision to pursue the making of “intelligence” as a commodity. The wise people of India decided that it would be foolish to try and outdo the west in manufacturing of hard goods, which only depletes natural resources. A much better resource is the human mind. Now China has embarked on the same course. Intelligence always trumps the physical world.
