511: Is Now the Best of Times? with Lucas Rockwood

511: Is Now the Best of Times? with Lucas Rockwood

Haven you heard that environmental collapse is going to end life on earth in just 8 years? Do you think that World War III is looming? Are robots going to take over while we humans fight over NFTs in the metaverse? As absurd as all this sounds, these conversations take center stage despite the world's rapid race toward a truly remarkable future of growth and progress.

On this week's podcast, I'll share with you my thoughts on why now might just be the best of times, despite its glaring tragedies, and the real risk might be our propensity for catastrophic thinking.

  • Did you know that there are 35% more calories per person, worldwide, just in my lifetime?
  • Did you know that both North America and Europe are undergoing reforestation not deforestation?
  • Is it possible that falling birth rates are a bigger problem than overpopulation?
  • Did you know that HIV/AIDs is rapidly decreasing, there's a prophylactic pill, and even a potential cure?
