There are 8 billion people on earth. Some 2.2 billion people around the world do not have safely managed drinking water services, 4.2 billion people do not have safely managed sanitation services, and 3 billion lack basic handwashing facilities[1]. In addition, 1 billion go hungry everyday[2] and two billion people are affected by fragility, conflict or violence.[3] Add to this indebted servitude and child raising, it a wonder how any human has the luxury to think let alone act on global issues.
In regards to Maslow's hierarchy the vast majority of people on earth are not not meeting the Basic Needs rung of the pyramid, therefore the amount of relevant human computing time is extremely finite.
