What would you share?
My standard answer to this is that you can make water safe to drink by leaving it in the sun in a plastic bottle
Or that you can reduce fuel use by 40% by putting a lid on your pan, even without an improved stove
I do think that Ben’s answer is also good, perhaps implies that health information like the book Where there is no doctor would be a good baseline for universal knowledge? It’s available in 26 different languages & free to distribute…
Ben, for awhile I didn’t know how I would answer my own question, which is why I asked the community. I’m still not sure but over the last couple days I think I’ve come up with what would my first choice. The speech by Charlie Chaplin at the end of The Great Dictator looks like a pretty good pick to me.
Sam, I didn’t even realize that wiki existed but it’s really fascinating. Thanks for mentioning it.
The great dictator speech is pretty special.
Maybe the declaration of Human rights could go in too?
