Improvements upon math education, ultrasound technology, and construction technology all sound like very reasonable, practical goals. Perhaps the most radical goal is gene therapy, but also the most exciting and sci-fi.
- jeffbee 4y ago> construction technology Isn't it a bit odd to present a chart that shows buildings to be the least-important component of the problem, and then go on to talk about only that small component? Especially saying "Buildings are a surprisingly large source of emissions" when the graphic just above that sentence shows that buildings are not.
- itishappy 4y agoThe previous 12 paragraphs of the building section were dedicated to addressing exactly that. He speaks about the work being done in the agriculture and energy sectors. "Surprisingly large" does not imply it's the largest.
- Xelynega 4y agoMath education: Microsoft hires hundreds of math graduates yearly, an excess of those would be beneficial to Microsofts bottom line. Ultrasound technology: Microsoft has a "digital health" department that would benefit similarly from more graduates in the field. Construction technology: Microsoft has existing partnerships in construction technology, and would similarly benefit from an increased number of graduates in the field driving down wages. Why are these things that benefit Microsoft the "future our grandchildren deserve"? It seems to be a pretty biased view of the future.
