That is to say that despair does not seem to be in any way potentially to be productive.

We are not evolved really very well to be able to understand or to be able to work with and grapple with technologies that we have.

I call myself an experimental philosopher which is as ambiguous a term as comprehensive anticipatory design scientist.

I'm not especially interested in the job of the historian or journalist of trying to figure out what was true and what was not.

I think that as a society as well, we need to be smart about what technologies we take up and how construe progress.

My work is very eclectic. I write books that range from writing fiction, writing fable where I am very directly trying to imagine alternate worlds, to writing about [Buckminster] Fuller who was the ultimate world man creating all sorts of alternate worlds and believing that they were imminent to my own work of - for instance, a project that I've been working on for some year and a half, two years now that continues to evolve has been what I call Deep Time Photography.

Writing a book about [Buckminster Fuller] in the sense of deciding how much to - how much biographically to gloss over and how much I can leave out is relatively easy as it is because the true believers already know everything. They know a lot of things that are not true and they know a lot of things that I thought were (and seems there's very good evidence not to believe) and therefore, my starting point was I think to tell his myth because that's what grabbed me.
