For the next two weeks we will revisit two of four heresies presented by Stewart Brand in our 5/8/15 meeting. Next week we will zoom-in on the GMO issue. We will view a recent TED Talk about how the genetic engineering of crops provides unique solutions and may be necessary in a changing world. We will then look at an opposing view, particularly about the need for GMO labeling.
Two weeks from now we will revisit the nuclear energy issue by watching a TED debate about nuclear energy vs renewable energy, between Stewart Brand and Mark Jacobson. Since we already saw Brand's pro nuclear talk, it is only fair to see a pro renewable talk by Jacobson ahead of the actual debate.
