And then even there, probably not totally, and even there, people felt it was like maybe too much. But yes, the sort of apocalyptic background of late modernity where, you know, you know, every microaggression has the potential to escalate to Armageddon is in the background.

And again, I don't like the stagnation and the risk aversion and all these responses, but there's a part of it that I think is understandable.

Well, I would say we are broadly progressing more slowly than we were 100 years ago. We are still progressing in some dimensions. There may be still too fast and too scary for people, but the big thing that has shifted vis-a-vis, let's say, the world of 1913, pre-World War I,

is that we feel like we are in an apocalyptic age, that there is a dimension of science and technology that has a dark dimension and it's a trap that humanity may be setting for itself. And I don't like Greta and I don't like the full precautionary principle, but her argument that we have just one planet isn't entirely wrong.

I don't want to abstract it too much. It is actually, it's the specific nature of the progress that happened. It is, we got thermonuclear weapons. We are powerful enough to affect the environment. I'm not sure whether carbon dioxide is the most important dimension, but the

you know i'm there probably a lot of dimensions where the environment can be impacted in very uh very radical ways uh we can probably build very dangerous bioweapons you know maybe that's even what was going on in the wuhan lab we can um you know there are there are dimensions of ai that are you know um potentially violent and very dangerous and you don't have to necessarily believe the the um

all these sort of weird pictures where it's this superintelligence that's somehow completely disembodied and is going to kill every last human being on the planet. But there are natural ways to combine it with weapons technology that feel... Unsettling. Unsettling. And just a simple example is that we have this drone technology. That's, again, a new form of technology that's...
