Ramez and I first met years ago at Burning Man. Since then, he\u2019s become one of the most lucid voices connecting climate change, clean energy, technology, and political reform. We talk about the tech industry\u2019s dangerous silence, the manipulation of social media, the rise of AI influence operations, and why \u201ceverything is downstream from protecting democracy.\u201d He also shares hopeful insights about the unstoppable rise of clean energy, how humor and compassion can still bridge divides, and why the fight for the future will be won through both emotional resilience and civic action.&amp;nbsp; \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f Guest Bio: Ramez Naam is a computer scientist, futurist, and former Microsoft program manager. He\u2019s the author of The Infinite Resource: The Power of Ideas on a Finite Planet and the award-winning Nexus science-fiction trilogy.
