revolution. and now, we're seeing the consequences in the last couple of days that are really overwhelming. yeah, you call it "techno—pessimism" — it may be techno—realism. i mean, there is no doubt that climate change and global warming are real, and they are a real threat to the way we live our lives today, and frankly, for the future of our species on the planet. now, you say this, you say that, "we do not have to make compromises as "we re—engineer life. "the ability to re—engineer our systems of production "doesn't mean that we have to make compromises." in essence, you're saying we can have our cake and eat it, too. and most human beings, in the end, conclude generally, that is not possible. yes, so i think not today, but it will be. so, there are a number of technologies — so if you look at the cost of clean energy, wind and solar has now dropped in the range of, call it $0.07 per kilowatt
have their costs, have their consequences. so, the arc of technology is and has never been linear. it has always had, you know, some cycle to it. i would argue that the recent cycle probably peaked in 1969. that was when man landed on the moon, and it was also the year that we had woodstock. and so, right now, i think from a societal perspective, we're generally techno—pessimists. and we were really techno—optimists leading up to the moon landing and during the industrial revolution. and now, we're seeing the consequences in the last couple of days that are really overwhelming. yeah, you call it "techno—pessimism" — it may be techno—realism. i mean, there is no doubt that climate change and global warming are real, and they are a real threat to the way we live our lives today, and frankly, for the future of our species on the planet. now, you say this, you say that, "we do not have to make compromises as "we re—engineer life.
