I believe in political solutions to political problems. but man's primary problems aren't political; they're philosophical. until humans can solve their philosophical problems, they're condemned to solve their political problems over and over and over again. it's a cruel, repetitious bore.

All experiments that are related to the games when you have humans versus machines in the games - whether it's chess or "go" or any other game - machines will prevail not because they can solve the game. chess is mathematically unsolvable. but at the end of the day, the machine doesn't have to solve the game. the machine has to win the game. and to win the game, it just has to make fewer mistakes than humans. which is not that difficult since humans are humans and vulnerable, and we don't have the same steady hand as the computer.

In the united states of america, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of unreality. and the category 5 denial is an enormous obstacle to any discussion of solutions. nobody is interested in solutions if they don’t think there’s a problem. given that starting point, i believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis.

Solving the population problem is not going to solve the problems of racism, of sexism, of religious intolerance, of war, of gross economic inequality. but if you don't solve the population problem, you're not going to solve any of those problems. whatever problem you're interested in, you're not going to solve it unless you also solve the population problem. whatever your cause, it's a lost cause without population control.

Discipline is the basic set of tools we require to solve life’s problems. without discipline we can solve nothing. with only some discipline we can solve only some problems. with total discipline we can solve all problems.
