One thing that stood out to me in this interview is the discussion on public awareness of climate change. I think that although more and more people are becoming climate conscious in their day to day life this also needs to translate into political will to actually make the lasting changes in policy that we need to mitigate the threats that come with climate change. I will likely remember this in the future since in many aspects, the disconnect between public awareness and political action is what contributes to inaction when it comes to social/political issues.
I think the part of the interview on emerging technology is really important to society's future. I think it is important to continue investing in technology of the future not just technology that may seem applicable today. These long term investments not only include monetary investments but also some level of sacrifice in privacy and freedom in favor of global security.
So real. This is a very impactful post, Wency. I completely agree that emerging technology will be more important to us now than ever.
