    this a great talk. Its so packed with key problems. certainly i see the Medea driving US Congress. I do not see 'science related' video games emerging. I do not see any cultural evolution, off ramps or any reason for optimism.

    Ward is making a few mistakes when he starts talking about Space. He is not an astronomer. For example: If you had a Super Earth it would have greater gravity and would, therefore, have a much denser atmosphere. Heavier animals could fly in a denser atmosphere. He has a curious Earth-Centric view of life.
    If Earth had a four hour day, life would have adapted to that. No problem.

    How can we break up cities and recreating them in planned walking/shopping centers with business/farm outer rings?

      Like the Venus Project fella, Jacque?
      He was ridiculed and ignored, but he had some great ideas.
      He was probably ignored mainly as he believed we should abolish the current monetary system as part of what is necessary.
      The Venus Project lives on, I think.

    Ward puts out a tremendous number of ideas per minute and most of them are excellent. However, he is mistaken on a few important things. In PaleoClimatology now (June 2016) there is a lot of NEW data flowing in. It can be seen that the more recent Pleistocene is much more relevant to our present and future situation. We are probably headed back into a Pleistocene Climate regime with its set points and feedback loops. Now PalioClimateologists are trying to figure out what those Feedback loops were. We don't know.
    Lucy lived in the Pleistocene, about four million years ago. If you are researching this, you must get right up-to-date.

      Ha ha. Nobody noticed the mistake I made in this comment. Or maybe it was the spellchecker. Ha ha. Of course, I meant the Pliocene and not the Pleistocene.

    Science now has shown magnetizing the prefrontal complex acts to lower aggression after an emotion rise. I connected this experiment with the deep history of 'tamed' cattle and dogs. Perhaps a plasma charge affected the world in specific areas and even the people were 'tamed.' This would explain how Egypt was unified North and South without the violence seen in all other absorptions. Of course, those not 'tamed' would eliminate the 'tamed' and you would have the same as now.
