  • I got to sit down with Bill Gates to discuss some of his favourite energy and climate change books. We got to chat about sustainable energy, fake meat, and how reading can fight climate change!

    Books mentioned:
    Energy and Civilization by Vaclav Smil bit.ly/38AKYJj
    Sustainable Energy: Without The Hot Air by David MacKay bit.ly/2vD7ZN9

    I found your channel many years ago. At the time the majority of booktube was into YA and I also got into it. That wasn't my genre, and soon I left that part of booktube behind me, unsubscribed from all the popular booktubers, who are still extremelly popular and still into YA. I still follow only you and let me tell you, I am so PROUD of you. You've come so far, you got "serious", if you know what I mean. I am really glad seeing you interview such people like Obama, Atwood, Gates! You go girl! continue creating content and staying honest! I root for you!

And I just wanted to say that NASA is working on several solar/electrical powered aircraft as well as Airbus just announced they are working on Zero-E plane designs. And I hope they are successful my dream is to test fly those planes because that would fit two of my passions helping the environment and flying.

    The problem we are facing is not necessarily the industrial, consumer, seller, political, social, establishment, economics, master, slave, ignorance, and informed, matrix of "reality"... I think, (my thoughts only) is that evolution became overcome by intelligence. Evolution led to our intelligent capability, but unless people go through the process of becoming intelligent, we're just ignorant beings, using intelligent technology. Basically, technology surpassed our biological evolution, and unless the majority of technology users learn the basics of how that technology could have came into being; then, we're just going to continue being users, more than creators. At minimum, learn some math. Then learn how math can be used to describe physical shapes. Then learn how math can describe the changing of those shapes. Then learn how the changing of those physical shapes, is correlated with the shape of those shapes. The past is a shape, the present is a shape, and the future is a shape. Changing the shape of things to be, requires at minimum, the acceptance that 'what was,' and 'what is,' indeed has a shape!

    Frankly speaking, the ability to stop climate change and save mankind is completely in the hands of the US government, the Chinese government, and the EU government. The ability to build more than 100 safe nuclear power plants at a time is in addition to the agreement reached by the US government, the Chinese government, and the EU government.
