I’ve been saying this for almost a decade now, but if I wrote a book with someone like this guy as the biblical antichrist people would say it was way too on the nose.

Low and middle-income countries in Asia face significant disparities in scientific capacity and ability to influence public policy, which is likely to affect responses to future pandemics, climate change and technological advancements such as Artificial Intelligence, according to the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA).
