Pretty cool Avi, thanks for posting, even if they are not new thoughts for a lot of folk. Chatting with Freeman Dyson must have been pretty cool too.
But right now we have an existential energy problem far more immediate than a theoretical virus. I tried to outline this, with what appears to be the solution previously but it seems like I might not have said anything to you, because the first thing that comes to your mind as an existential threat now appears to a theoretical virus, rather than an actual physically proven energy dead-end which we seem to be hurtling towards as a species.
We need scientists at your level of influence to be at least talking about this, if not yet in agreement. It is all of our responsibility, all humans to do what we can to help sort it out.
