> We can do this, I am an enormous optimist for my species, but it will require the elites, from London to Harvard, from Cambridge to Hollywood, to learn the lessons of the past month. To learn above all a measure of humility.

We're doomed.

Hahahaha, more poor people getting access to phones = easier for rich man to spread false statements. Great, now all we need is Hollywood to make more disaster movies. Oh wait, they're too busy cranking out superhero crap. We are indeed doomed.

See that's the darn problem... "but it will require the elites" (not saying it is untrue), if the common man will not rise above himself, we as a species are doomed, regardless of what the elitists want. Build all the fancy cities, good infrastructure, good everything, but the common man needs external influence to do a deed that contributes to the civilization as a whole, what happens when that external influence goes away? we are back to square one

I feel like this was the good side of religion. At least within subgroups of people.

"We now have the technology to destroy the planet on which we live, but have not yet developed the ability to escape it."

Interesting choice of word: "escape". Not: "fix".

Well, he literally means escaping to other planets.
