Saudi Arabia sits on the world's oil.
It is one of the weakest countries on earth.
Why?
No human capital.
They import engineers from Europe and America to pull their own oil out of the ground.
Most of the population sits in government jobs doing nothing.
This is the resource trap.
Too many resources creates complacency. Complacency creates hubris. Hubris creates dependency.
Now look at the opposite.
Japan. Korea. Singapore. Finland.
Almost no natural resources at all.
So they were forced to be resilient. Forced to be organized. Forced to educate every single person.
Japan's only resource is its people.
That is exactly why it won.
Scarcity builds nations.
Abundance dissolves them.
The smartest man I’ve ever seen was that dude who said he only visits countries after a terrorist attack 😭
He said it’s a much better tourist experience because of the low prices and high levels of security.
Crianças do Vietnã recriam o icônico momento em que Messi levanta a taça da Copa do Mundo. 🐐
Ainda recriaram o Cristiano Ronaldo furioso saindo da sala. 😂
