I would not waste your time watching A House of Dynamite. You spend two hours watching the same plot 3 times without any ending. Felt it had a great potential with the cast but director let it down hugely.
@jayschool#CM270SU In the final reading, Allison and Casey discuss humanity as a global brain through media. I liked how they referenced the blue marble image which is pretty iconic.
@jayschool#CM270SU I like that Diamandis and Kotlwr advocated for a future of abundance through technology. But I also thought it was important that Gilding warns about systematic lags
