Jerome C. Glenn: Science is an epistemology in the house of philosophy

Jerome C. Glenn is co-founder and Director of The Millennium Project and I had great fun talking to him during our first interview. But it has been over two years since our previous conversation and so, when Jason Ganz reminded me that the latest State of the Future report has been out for several months now, I jumped at the opportunity to have Jerome back on Singularity 1 on 1. In this second discussion with Glenn we cover a wide variety of topics such as: The State of the Future report; if the world is coming to an end; the definition of war and the conflicts in Palestine, Syria, Iraq and Ukraine; things that changed and things that did not change since the last interview; infectious disease epidemics and the containment thereof; bitcoin – the currency and the technology; the 15 global challenges and why ethics is one of them; sea/salt water agriculture; the growing rich-poor gap and technological unemployment… My three most favorite quotes that I will take away from the 2nd interview with Jerome C. Glenn are: “Science is an epistemology in the house of philosophy.” […] “Love works and hate doesn’t.” […] and my favorite one: “What works best is idealism but tempered by realism. […] Listen to the negative but don’t let it bury you.” You can see the full video of the interview here: https://www.singularityweblog.com/jerome-c-glenn-state-of-the-future/
