Eric Liu: I feel this pretty strongly myself. The human being strives to understand. We like to understand that where we live in. We want to matter. So you're the desire to expand it, to make it better and smarter. Just like we can't, it happens everywhere. It's the essence of human life over the last few hundred years. But if you go back to read your essay, it's a screed. It's a rant. And it's a rant that you justify because you think, perhaps, yeah, something like the future of the human race is at stake. You should take it very seriously.
