#13Watching talks like this is what helps me keep my sanity in the face of climate change and have hope we will do something about it. My take-away phrase of the speech is gonna be "do something".

Things are getting better. But many of the new things don't need people so much.
What we're getting is a big underclass that isn't in the game at all. They're just dead weight. This is hitting the Arab world hard.[1]

Your culture was completely robbed from you before you were born. What stories do you love? What music fills your head? What great deeds of the past inspire you? Are you allowed to share ANY of that freely?

The free market does that. People who can't generate more revenue than they cost are dead weight in a capitalistic system. It's not common to say that, but the US certainly works that way.
