I believe that people are too complacent about technology.
I believe if we could enable people to live forever, we should do that. I think this is absolute.
I believe we are in a world where innovation in stuff was outlawed. It was basically outlawed in the last 40 years - part of it was environmentalism, part of it was risk aversion.
Secrets are hard but solvable problems and we should talk about them. It's hard to work toward a radically better future if you don't believe in secrets.
People don't want to believe that technology is broken. Pharmaceuticals, robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology - all these areas where the progress has been a lot more limited than people think. And the question is why.
I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.
A true bubble is when something is overvalued and intensely believed. Education may be the only thing people still believe in in the United States. To question education is really dangerous. It is the absolute taboo. It's like telling the world there's no Santa Claus.
I believe that evolution is a true account of nature, but I think we should try to escape it or transcend it in our society.
I'm very pro-science and pro-technology; I believe that these have been key drivers of progress in the world in the last centuries.
