      The problem we face is that people who wish to serve good in the public interest are becoming more rare, due to the burnout rooted in the ever increasing and nearly overwhelming number of "zombies", both individual and corporate, in our culture. Police, fire professionals, doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc. - the thread of society -are checking out, with no "Galt's Gulch" to turn to. We have had a great run, but without a rapid paradigm shift in our collective thinking, it seems to me that we are likely going to crash very hard, and soon. Then what?

      I had a friend in college who said that he could crash the world economy with $20B ($50B in today's dollars).
      He dropped out of grad school and went to wall street. He was a pretty smart guy and I've always assumed 2008 was his fault. He retired about 20 years ago and started a survival compound.

Your perception of the era we are in is valid, Howe proposes it is the natural rhythm of society and generations. Oddly enough, the season of "being alive" as you put it, sets into motion the crisis era we are currently in.

    The Sentinelese don't have their own version of the Fermi Paradox. They are well aware that there's an outside world and other people beyond their borders. It's just that they don't want contact with them and will physically attack any person who tries to land on their island. I'm sure that as a consequence of this, there are many things about the world that they are ignorant of, but this is what they (collectively) choose. Probably some individuals secretly wonder what lies beyond the sea that surrounds their island, but it's probably a social taboo to speak too much about such curiosity.

    Happy birthday dr Brian. May I bring you a little hope. I think people are slowly starting to understand how important science is. And we are a lot who defend science and tells people about different kinds of scientific facts. And I think fewer people are denying science like few years ago. I admit it is early days but I think people have seen C. Hitchens, Dawkins or even Bertrand Russell! And are more likely to question faith as a concept. Of course there’s a opposite view but it seems to have been a benefit for science 🎸😊

    The best technique I have found for solving abstract problems is to brainstorm random ideas, collect them all and then afterwards winnow for the best ideas / strategies. Read any book on solving problems etc and this is the first thing they will talk about. But it seems that this obvious wisdom is being forgotten, and that is the problem of the modern world. We're too ready to jump to conclusions and assumptions.

    Math, music and the future of our species. That's a lot. It does remind me of my last attempt to watch a broadcast by one of those evangelical churches - message intertwined with music. Also just watched something that laboured through an explanation of the scientific method. This would not pass peer review. Of course there is no intention to but crikey, this is flying high. I typically find the output of BK, EW, BW et al hugely interesting, based on real analysis and rational. This one stretched me like a rubber band. By the time you are suggesting there is a duty to fund the best minds to come up with the solution(s) to everything, I'm in trouble. I can still laugh at the day spa quip but big money plus scientists doesnt guarantee a giant leap forward, or even good. Also found the cursory mention of wealth distribution a bit unsettling. If your pitch is that the wealth generated by capitalism is good because it can save the world - maybe? It does feel like the outcome will be a Great Separation - the elites flying off to new galaxies and the rest of us left with the same old blue/green ball. Happy to go to the launch.
