Channel: The Disruptors - Science, Technology and Ethics
Date: 2018-12-27

Carl Safina (@carlsafina) is author of various books and many other writings about how the ocean is changing, lives of free-living animals, and the human relationship with the natural world. His books include among others the award-winning Song for the Blue Ocean and Eye of the Albatross, as well as The View From Lazy Point; A Natural Year in an Unnatural World and Beyond Words; What Animals Think and Feel.

In our wide-ranging conversation, we cover many things, including:

- Why we're much less different from animals than we think
- How overfishing could lead to a complete ocean die off
- Why Carl's so worried about climate change and unforeseen consequences
- What animals can teach us about ourselves
- The reason consciousness isn't only limited to people
- Why so many animals and superhuman abilities
- The reason a vegetarian like Carl is excited about clean meat
- Why there probably won't be any commercially viable fish in the ocean by 2050
- Why kids are becoming less creative
- The harmful effects without nature
- What might an alien or artificial intelligence actually look like
- The why we actually love dogs, its not what you think
- Why wind and solar could possibly save our species
