I really appreciate Neil's strict attention to language in order to keep pre-suppositions out of the descriptive language of science.

WOW. Great panel. Neil is covering all of the major issues of our time with these wonderful Isaac Asimov Debates! It was a profound awakening as well, to the overall situation on the humanity, and really put it into the light, like what Neil said in Cosmos. On the last second of the last day of the cosmic year, humanity started using the scientific method, and went from Galileo gazing through a telescope, to putting humans on the moon.<br><br> But how did we get this far without a basic water system figured out? Humanity didn't even get their water situation sorted out after all this time. All humans living on less than half a percent of all the drinkable water there is. It really is such a young species.

i love how there is a hole panel of greats up there but can't work out mic's . Gold. it goes to show everyone has their place and use and the way they handle it shows that there is no problems only solution's. They didn't miss a beat. I love this attitude.

@<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSF79uS3t04&t=5547">1:32:27</a><br><br>"The problem you have to worry about with climate change is that there is a zipper effect, you get down the road to far and you can't recover. So, for anybody in the world who thinks that climate change is a hoax—like a couple of our people in Washington [DC] do—that is almost immoral."<br><br>—Gen. Charles Wald - U.S. Air Force, Retired

My biggest take away from this panel discussion is that Neil Degrasse Tyson speaking off the cuff IS HILARIOUS.

Please, make an Isaac Asimov memorial debate about conscious artificial intelligence. He wrote much about robots, so this topic is really relevant.<br>I personally would like to suggest inviting the following panelists: Roger Penrose, Stewart Hameroff, Marwin Minsky, Raymond Kurzweil, Amit Goswami.<br>Please, this topic is really worth a debate!
