Interview excerpts:

Our duty

We have a duty here, and that is the duty to not act only in the interest of ourselves & humanity, but in the interest of the biosphere as a whole, there are no life forms that we have the right to make extinct and all have a purpose to be here.

Directionality

Because the thing is, if you don’t know where you are going or where you want to go you will end up somewhere else.

Don't fall for a personality cult

One advice I would like to give is to see to get as much quality information that you can get, that’s why I wrote my books for example.  And then another thing is to not fall for a personality cult.
