"I find it so annoying when people make a bunch of predictions about the future, and when one of them happens to come true, theyd brag about it for the rest of their lives," he says. "What i'm interested in is why we refuse to think about challenges that we almost certainly will in the future." He asks: Why do we keep our heads in the sand when it's so obvious what's coming?
