1. “The situation in Africa has always been the most challenging. Africa is better off today than it was at any time in the past, despite the turmoil that exists there. We went up in democracies very dramatically post-World War II. And we're nowhere near back down to where we were there. And as long as countries are extremely poor, you have incredible instability in their governance. We have to make sure those countries develop and that they're able to have decent health, decent education. And we've made strides in that direction. These wars are always a huge setback. Ethiopia civil war, now Sudan civil war. But Africa is not worse off today than at any time in my lifetime. It is far, far better off. More kids.”

2. “Oh, absolutely. I mean, our innovation, whether it's obesity or malaria eradication, polio eradication is quite phenomenal, even very tough problems, if we have the right values and we get serious about them are very solvable.”

3. “Well, since 1995, World has made incredible progress. I think almost any measure you pick, you know, the number of kids who survive childhood has gone up dramatically. We've cut that death rate in half from over 10 million year to under 5 million a year, primarily using vaccines, Gavi, which the UK should be proud of that as its most impactful humanitarian act ever. And you'd have to say that if you're a woman, a gay person, overall, society is probably more embracing to you today than ever. The digital tools we have, the medicines we have. So there's a lot of progress that's taken place. The only footnote for me is this polarization, whether you look at it through trust data or social behavior. And worry about what that means for politics. That's the only thing I'd say a trend that kind of scares me.”
