We get quickly to a chicken-egg situation: imo education is the base from which all other life improvements stem. Yes, sanitation is needed, medications are needed, peace and justice are needed.

There is no instant solution. So all positive contributions are welcome.

I see nothing wrong with the exec class reflecting upon itself, providing that it would be indicative of a new mood of morality. Hardly to be expected, but not necessarily to be ridiculed.

Just as education is empowering in the 'Third World', so is it empowering in the executive world. My impression of the many execs I meet is that they are very well, but narrowly educated. All they want to know more about is what will help them survive and prosper in the tiny habitat that they currently occupy.

You can't be me, I'm taken

I totally agree.  All of these approaches are needed, and they can be done concurrently.  Cleaner sanitation will undoubtedly reduce the incidence of malaria--but even then some people will get it, and it will be a long time before all areas of the world are perfectly sanitized.  So this drug could be a miracle, and save many lives.
