Yet another collection of interesting talks: First, a quite old talk about exponential growth and how we often don’t understand its implications. The talk starts quite boring with simple math. But later the presenter starts talking about the implications, how we periodically don’t use simplest math and how politics and economy ignore simple facts. Watch [...]
