This was truly glorious. I could not concur more. The pessimism of our age, while not unwarranted, is tiresome - and this whether the carbon cult's doom-mongering, or the conservative tendency towards conspiracising collapsism. Both have left the future wide open by projecting into it only their anxiety and hopelessness. Meanwhile, there is every reason to be optimistic - the problems we face are mostly cultural and organizational, not technological. The future will be won by those who inspire the culture with a way forward.
