sustainability its about time
DESCRIPTION
The technology to create sustainable futures for all the inhabitants of planet earth are almost all to hand, but the actual future is wholly dependent upon man’s ability to make the right decisions and enact solutions on the right timescale. Unfortunately, the human brain and society is fundamentally limited and insufficiently equipped to engineer a successful outcome in the long term. To achieve than we have to symbiotically partner with our machines to embrace the 100s and 1000s of parameters driving the connected world. A single parameter ($$$) economic system is far too crude an instrument to engineer anything more than one crisis after another!TRANSCRIPT
