CHAPTER

The Protopia of Time Preference

In general, I think dystopian is cheap. 99% of science fiction stories and movies about the future are dystopian,. they're worlds that you don't want to live in. What we want is something what we have right now compared to where we were 100 years ago - protopia. That's not perfect, but it's better than last year or 10 years ago or 200 years ago. The reason why we're optimistic is because we believe our capacity to solve problems is increasing faster than we thought. We can create 1% more than we destroy every year, just 1%, that 1% compounded over time... civilization is accumulation of 1% a year.
