Why Pakistan 🇵🇰 still stands a chance #predictivehistory

[0:00]Pakistan has nothing, so they are forced to be creative. Poverty leads to creativity. So when I was in high school in Canada, we played a game called the World game. In this game, it's very simple. You put into a team of maybe four or five players. Each team is assigned a country like maybe USA, Britain, India, Pakistan, Japan. And then each team is given an envelope. Okay. And then within this envelope, you're given a certain resources. And then there's there's an organization called the World Bank. And what you're trying to do is you're trying to become the wealthiest country in the world. The way you do that is you take your resources and you turn it into commodities that the World Bank buys from you. But to create these commodities, you need resources, right? But different countries will have different resource resources. So the United States has everything, okay? And Pakistan is interesting because Pakistan usually gets nothing. There are no resources, but you're allowed to trade with each other, right? So even though you have nothing, you can go to the states and beg and say, oh, oh, could I please borrow your ruler for for today? Okay. And says, hey, can I can I borrow your paper for today? Okay. Or hey, I'll come work for you for free. Right. You can trade. And so you play this for for one day, and it's really interesting what happens, okay? Usually what happens, I'm not saying all the time, but I've seen this happen a lot. At the end of the day, you look at who are the wealthiest country in the world, what happens is, well, the United States becomes number one, okay? Why? Because United States has everything in the world. It is the wealthiest country in the world. There's just too much resources. Okay? But number two is interesting. You would think it would be Japan and Britain, but it's actually Pakistan, okay? The country that starts out with nothing at all. Why? Because they're forced to be the most energetic, the most open and most cohesive. Team members have to go and beg to work for free. Okay. Other team members go and lie and cheat and steal, okay? They're forced to be resourceful and that's how the world works, guys. Just because you have the most resources, just because you have the most people, does not mean you'll win the game at the end. What matters is how energetic the people are, how open they are, how resourceful they are. That's what matters. And often they are. We open, energetic and cohesive because they're poor, right? It's that simple.
