I guess the conversation I would like to have is, are we ready? Do you think we have had advancements withheld and held back and is the economy more important than the planet? Personally I feel like everything comes back to monetary wealth getting in the way of global happiness. Star Trek really got that right.

The issue with that argument is that with free energy, we can start properly applying concepts of UBI and dare I say it socialist policies and collapsing that part of the economy in a good way, globally.

Revealing it at a pace the world can handle just means that the people in control now can keep being in control while they find ways of controlling it. Yes it would wipe out a big part of our way of life, but it's the bad part anyway, the part that is pretty rapidly killing us. (Great performance by Mr.Freeman though)

Very true. Industries and businessess do not have a special right to exist. They exist as long as they are useful to society and should shut down as soon as that is no longer true so efforts can be spent elsewhere.
