“Where is My Flying Car?” with J. Storrs Hall

On this week’s Power Hour Alex interviews futurist J. Storrs Hall, author of the mind-blowing book Where’s My Flying Car? which gives a brilliant analysis of what has held back many forms of progress, including flying cars, over the last half-century. Topics they cover include: - What is the Great Stagnation? - How did you become interested in analyzing the Great Stagnation? - What is your basic explanation for The Great Stagnation? - How does government funding of research promote stagnation? - How does the “green” philosophy promote stagnation? - What was the trajectory of nuclear energy before government started criminalizing it? - What legal/regulatory reforms are necessary to decriminalize nuclear? - What can we do to liberate human progress from its political and philosophical strangulation?
