“We can choose to keep shooting up the curve of exponential growth, bringing us ever closer to irreversible tipping points in ecological collapse, and hope that technology will save us. But if for some reason it doesn’t work, then we’re in trouble.
It’s like jumping off a cliff while hoping that someone at the bottom will
figure out how to build some kind of device to catch you before you crash
into the rocks below, without having any idea as to whether they’ll actually be able to pull it off.
It might work … but if not, it’s game over. Once you jump, you can’t change your mind.
If we’re going to take this approach, the evidence for it had better be rock solid. We’d better be dead certain it will work.”

“The intellect is a chisel that you can use to tear away at the false stuff, but you're supposed to do it in the service of creating sculpture, you know? You're supposed to be bringing something out of whatever you're chiseling away at.
If you take that chisel and just knock it all the way down through, then you end up with nothing, and that's no fun.”
