We want to a talk Howard gave recently and were very amazed about how many of his predictions have come to pass and therefore left comforted by his positive predictions of the future.
We talk about:
- A quick history of 540 million years
- Living in the midst of the third Intelligence Explosion
- Printing meat to eat
- Dark factories
- Are robots part of evolution
- How capitalism drives the race to net zero
- The restoration of the planet
Let’s gaze into the future!
