What makes us different? We're the creature that can decide not to do something that we are capable of doing.

The real tight interface is between the book and the reader-the world of the book is plugged right into your brain, never mind the [virtual reality] bodysuit.

Our weird problem is an abundance of resources and a shortage of hard economic reasons not to use them.

Until it's understood to involve justice for those in poverty, a future for generations yet unborn, and a commitment to the rest of creation, it's unlikely we'll be able to overcome the status quo.

We can either save the planet from catastrophic warming, or protect fossil fuel CEOs. Not both. Do the math(s)

I don't think the fossil fuel industry will listen, not until we build up a lot of pressure. I do think we can persuade some shareholders that they don't want to be involved in this enterprise.
