This one is for nerds. Or people who want to be nerds. Stephen Casey, NASA machine learning and artificial intelligence researcher, sits down with us to discuss economic turmoil from a more top-down perspective. Basically, he says if I were to give you a system that was configured the same way the economy is, you’d be able to predict that we’re in a system of runaway energy expenditure. And sure enough, when we look at the actual economy, we see a system that incentivizes an increase in the output of energy over the well-being of individuals and climate change. Using the basic model of game theory, Stephen discusses what checks a society would need to stop the madness.
