Firms gain comparative advantage from how good their people are. Retaining and attracting talent is a key point of competitive advantage in the global economy.

I think that God gave us a brain, and that it's the only thing we have to survive. All life forms have some advantage, some trick, some claw, some camouflage, some poison, some speed, something to help them survive. We've got a brain. Therefore it's our duty to use our brain.
