I re-viewed it. I listened to 20 min at 2x speed and the last 2 minutes. I'm pretty sure I looked at it the last time you mentioned it.

His penultimate slide says "A call for Superheroes". I'm seeing a grasp of the significance of the end of 'free' energy from carbon, but no actionable items.

I prefer the ur-environmentalist, R. Buckminster Fuller. He came out of the New England Transcendetalist tradition, but he was a machinist. An early proponent of 'fail early, fail often'.

While he said 'reform the environment, not the people', we're talking about a fairly brain-washed general population.
