[Bill Kerr]

hard to argue against someone who is doing such great work in Nepal but I
thought Bryan overplayed the local factors  too much:

10) Open Source software critical to high quality education – education has
to be very customised, to the kids, the teacher, the environment and the
country – not something you can design in New York city and will fit another

The counterbalance to that is that The Enlightenment is what made us, what
created modernity, what transformed diverse cultures into our modern culture

I hope it doesn't become unfashionable to say that modernity is a good thing
