@academicchatter

anyone in the sciences, academics should have a listen

The Q&A makes the point.

The field of economics needs a massive housecleaning of ideas that are lethal to humanity (and I would say of even a functioning economy).

Neoclassicals are so vain they imagine their discipline should run every field of study(!)

The one thing I hard disagree with Keen on is the idea that colonizing Mars is a way of preserving human species (in all fairness, is reference to the deadliness of climate change)

Existing there are several orders magnitude of more challenging than + plus the expense and resources.

If we could survive/terraform Mars we could do the same on Earth without blowing trillions carting people and materials to Mars.
