On this week’s Power Hour I discuss “The Five Things Planet of the Humans Gets Totally Wrong.”
1. It evades how bad the “natural” planet was for human life.
2. It evades how good today’s humanized planet is for human life.
3. It evades our ability to create new value and grow indefinitely.
4. It evades our ability to produce more value with fewer side effects (e.g., nuclear).
5. It evaluates the state of the planet by an anti-human standard (unchanged nature), not a pro-human standard (human flourishing).
