I will say...

Let's try to be clear-eyed about the future.

And it's not one future.

It's many possible futures.

And by our actions, we can have an effect on where we go.

So I would tell him...

Think about what you can do for the people around you, for your society, for the values that he's raised with to preserve the good things that exist on this planet and in humans.

You know, it can come in small doses.

It can come as, think of how we're,

at least in some countries, educating our children so they understand that our environment is fragile, that we have to take care of it if we want to still have it in 20 years or 50 years.

It doesn't need to be brought as a terrible weight, but more like, well, that's how the world is and there are some risks, but there are some beautiful things.

And we have agency.

You, children, will shape the future.

But that injustice can also be a drive to do things.

Understanding that there is something unfair going on is a very powerful drive for people.

You know that we have genetically wired instincts to be angry about injustice.

And the reason I'm saying this is because there is evidence that our cousins, apes, also react that way.

So it's a powerful force.

It needs to be channeled intelligently, but it's a powerful force and it can save us.

And the injustice being?
