Technology is incredibly powerful. And in many ways, the sky is the limit in terms of what you can actually accomplish with the right science and the right technology. But to get there, you have to actually invest in R&D. And often that means you have to be willing to spend an awful lot in that R&D phase before you see the benefits.

Many of the most science-fictional tools to fight climate change are untested, are almost impossible to truly test at planetary scale – we only have one planet after all. We’re better off cutting our emissions so we don’t need them.

Threats that could wipe out the bulk of life on earth abound. Planetary catastrophe could come in the form of a killer asteroid impact, the eruption of massive supervolcanoes, a nearby gamma ray burst that sterilizes the earth, or by human-driven environmental collapse.

We already have – thanks to technology, development, skills, the efficiency of our work – enough resources to satisfy all human needs. But we don’t have enough resources, and we are unlikely ever to have, to satisfy human greed.

For me, I don’t think there’s anything more human than technology. That’s a big thing separating us from other animals: we make things, we build things, we create machines.

There’s an idea that, ‘Oh, the more technology you have, or the more you modify your body, the less human you are.’ I think that’s super gross, and inaccurate, and also offensive to anybody who relies on technology to live.
