Indeed its not uncommon 2 c flat roofed concrete houses w/ white paint in africa & parts of asia. Its common sense.
U`d do even better if u used some insulation, something even as simple as a cavity/an air gap in walls and roofs of concrete bldgs & build houses w/ better air circulation instead of the box style thats common in colder climes like the us & europe.

Great essay! I have the mettalic silver sun screen sheild thing for my car which I spread across the windsheild (when I park). ANd it really helps. The car stays much cooler. And things inside it also survive. I had these very nice sun glasses. They melted on my dashboard! The silver sun screen sheild could have saved them. But I was too lazy to use it. I paid the price. I really miss them.

i thought you said something about solving the complex man and wife problem !
But here you surveyed the place and suggested 'cooler'ways to live,,,,,,like modern day William Moorcroft !!
Keep up the good work, any way ~!
