Why do we like what we like? Raymond Loewy, the father of industrial design, had a theory of familiar surprises, be they baby names or unifying politics.

Human inertia about the future lies not in a lack of Novelty,
but in an immersion with Data, and/or
citizen journalism that records on-the-ground events,
astroturfed "citizen journalism," that can promote ideology,
algorithm uses that can shut down trust across communications platforms, and/or
fact checking that can promote tactical as much as objective communications.

1. Thanks. Interesting programs. Derek Thompson also makes for good reading at The Atlantic.

2. ... Hi. Happy to.

Yes, agree on Thompson and love the Atlantic.

Also, the YouTube abstract provides more context for this video.

I post because I'm interested in learning anything about how to eliminate human inertia when coordinating planetary projects dealing with climate and the ppm problem we create.

Here's another recent video of Elon Musk, one billionaire who is at least thinking along the same lines, and who is probably hedging his bets on humanity by trying to find an escape hatch in case humans kill themselves.
