A new year and new videos, what more can we ask for? 2021 brought some bangers across my favorite topics of Futurism, Climate Change, Longevity, and Ethics. And what's crazy for me is there is a hint of a fiction book in my top 3. That's pretty off brand. If you are even the slightest bit interested in the above topics I'm sure you'll enjoy these.

    Geoengineering solutions to climate change are fascinating. I agree that they will probably be necessary. And it's true that there are side effects - e.g. most of the world's photosynthesis comes from ocean algae which could fertilized with iron and genetically modified to increase photosynthesis, but modifications to toxins, alkalinity, temperature, etc would also have to be engineered. Some really interesting, wide ranging, and relevant ideas in your reviews - keep them coming!

Especially if I am doing heirlooms and rarer seeds.
