That's great, but it's also sad it seems to end up being mostly fiction.
Maybe we need to work on a whole bunch of cozy sci-reality so the future can actually be good.

Tech bros seem to get all their ideas from scifi books so yeah, that does sound good.
Im not American, but I remember the title of a book that is considered a classic in the USA: Ideas Have Consequences. Haven't read it, but i def agree w/ the main idea & w/ ur comment.
Very true, my comment was just frustration venting, not criticism, so I hope you didn't take it that way. There is absolutely value in just telling people the future can be good. Star Trek also does this, and either predicted or is in some cases arguably responsible for a wide variety of things that either genuinely do or can make the world a better place already, but this video makes the case that simply showing a hopeful vision of future might be the most important thing it actually does.
Yeah agreed, although i deeply believe that there will be human conflicts as long as there will be human beings. Watching the vid' now.
Her books are great!
This sentence strikes me as so simple, yet so true. Life's simple when u don’t complicate it.
