Lesson:
8 Billion
It’s becoming a bit crowded. Can we all squeeze in? As of November 15, 2022, eight billion humans live on Earth. Vinice Mabansag, a little girl born at Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital at 1.29 am (local time) in Manilla, is the symbolic eight billionth person alive today. What challenges and benefits do eight billion people present to the world? What does the future look like, and where are you on that list of humanity? Well, that’s what we’ll discuss in this lesson. All I can say is that with eight billion people in the world, there are a lot of birthday parties and a tremendous amount of celebration.

I will never test you on the articles, but I strongly suggest you book lessons far enough in advance to give yourself enough time to properly prepare. The better prepared you are, the more benefit you will receive from our conversations.
