it certainly could if that genius was focused on the looming problem.
But instead of trying to prevent disaster, most of the world's ingenuity is squandered on trying to squeeze another buck out of the world.
- jryle70 6y agoThe world is not as simple as you make it to be. SpaceX was founded by a guy who squeezed not one but many bucks out of the world. The same company just closed a funding round worth $1.2 billion from many investors who I'm sure are master at squeezing a buck or two. Yet they dream big and inspire a lot of young people to tackle hard problems. Turns out a squeezed buck today can go a long way to confront looming problems.
