I'm sure this will float like a lead balloon (as these sorts of things tend to). Still good orientation info and well worth the listen. It's about looking at what's needed to handle our current combination of existential risk from exponential technology while we're still essentially playing zero-sum rivalrous games and what strings we might need to pull on in order to shift our culture - if not entirely (probably impossible) - at least enough off of that basis to be able to survive through the next century and have a system that can survive at least some of the non-optional Darwinian grifting and artful dishonesty that our species does so well and holds as sacred and central to 'fitness' as it does.
I'll post both full version (46 min) and TL:DW (7 min), and if both are TL:DW then best to just (internally - I don't need to know) 'not my cup of tea'.
