But are all genes equal? Humans and chimps are 98.5% similar, but whatever's in that 1.5% seems to make a big difference.


Hi Paul, exactly his message --- even comparison with just humans --- we are just different 1/10 of 1% --- and almost all us tend to focus on that difference. He, mentioning we somehow forgetting about purpose over power.


Bill just wanted to relay that in a much as we should enjoy our differences --- we should be beginning to put forth more value to our common humanity. It's fastly becoming a very small interdependent world and high time to care much more.


Hey, this is supposed to be startup news... once the political stuff creeps in here it'll be just like reddit (and I don't mean that in a good way).


hi. no political intention meant. just thought something that's intrinsic part of our humanity. please read content and maybe you'll agree. thanks.
