"I’m hopeful that we’ll get cancer cured in the next decade." Believe that when I see it. Seems to me we've solved the problem of near-instantaneous global communication, but little else of the myriad of human problems has been solved by the internet revolution. We're nowhere with world peace and not sure we're that far along with diseases. In fact, the US health system in 2014 is generally considered a debacle. I'm all for optimism and can-do attitude, but the wand waving away of really difficult challenges that has been coming out lately.. and it's SV culture the only ones doing it. I hope he's right, but the cavalier attitude I just find very peculiar. This is immortality we're seriously discussing?
