An insight into drug cartels.
This was a recent talk shown on TED Talks by Rodrigo Canales under the title of ‘The deadly genius of drug cartels.’
As the TED page explained:
Up to 100,000 people died in drug-related violence in Mexico in the last 6 years. We might think this has nothing to do with us, but in fact we are all complicit, says Yale professor Rodrigo Canales in this unflinching talk that turns conventional wisdom about drug cartels on its head. The carnage is not about faceless, ignorant goons mindlessly killing each other but is rather the result of some seriously sophisticated brand management.
Rodrigo Canales wants to understand how individuals influence organizations or systems–even those as complex as the Mexican drug cartels.
It really is worth the viewing.

I have a theory about why there is so much drug use, especially in the USA: people need vacations… from their own minds. According to this overworked children ought to be more drugged out, as observed in… France. I will have a short essay on this soon.
BTW wordPress reply is not working for me today, so I replied to your comment by another… THX

Amazing USA is happy to take military action in Muslim nations but has done nothing to support the Mexican government against the drug cartels

Suggest that the subject of how and why the USA takes military action is put to one side for now! 😉
