Episode notes

This chapter discusses the urgent need for radical advancements in science and technology to address global problems like cancer, dementia, mental health issues, scarcity of drugs, and the need for green energy solutions. It introduces the concept of the Meslovian Innovation Pyramid and emphasizes the importance of a mission-oriented culture of innovation.

How innovative are our times really? Not very, according to Thomas Ramge and Rafael Laguna de la Vera. And they've got a point. Technology may have solved some fake problems ("one-click buying!"), but it hasn't done nearly enough to tackle big issues like climate change, cancer, dementia, or hunger. Today, Tomas and Rafael share their vision for a future in which we harness the forces of science and technology to solve real problems.
