This new hour-long interview of me by Big Think is the best distillation ever of all the ideas that will culminate in my upcoming book about our historic moment and what's coming in the next 25 years
I just subscribedto the Great Progression and wanted to acknowledge how fresh and thoughtful your message and research are to me. Although no one knows how the future will turn out, I believe that the power of one mind influences other minds, and when enough minds see a future together, they can create it.
For better or worse, that seems to be what's happening here in the States already, but now that I have your insights to share, maybe the world does get better.
I subscribe to the Big Think and just watched your interview. Wow. We must be connected somehow. I am preparing to publish my first fiction novel, which is totally aligned with your futuristic predictions. I would love it if you would like to read it before publishing. The title is "The Love Boat 2120", and the main character is a musician who has just graduated from college and gets his first full-time gig on an interplanetary cruise ship. He is a student of history and recounts much of the past 100 years that have led up to the development of space tourism.
Always a ray of hope. Okay, you gloss over the fact that we may be headed toward war, maybe even world war, before things get better but...I don't believe the awful current regime in the US will last forever. Or even for very long. But, Hitler's lasted twelve years, so that's what I mean by 'not very long' - definitely longer than the next two elections, probably...
The supposition that the West (read US) has one more shot at next 25 years tech-dominance ... how does political governance impact its likeihood? I refer to DanWang's book Breakneck https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/book-review-breakneck which argues that the mindset of US politicians is lawyer (mediation of disputes) whereas PRC is engineers (technocrats). So you'd get flying cars in China and floating lawsuits in US (unless FAA regulates air-corridors below a ceiling).

Wee doggie! What a world! I sure hope my Kids and Grandkids are ready for this roller coaster ride!
you can help them by encouraging them to learn statistics, how to code, how to write LLM prompts...
