🎥 Throwback
Dr. Ye Tao at Congreso Futuro in Santiago, Chile
18 January 2023 · 24 minutes
As our work continues to expand internationally, it’s worth revisiting some of the presentations that helped shape MEER’s thinking.
Dr. Tao was invited to attend Congreso Futuro in Santiago, Chile, where he presented on the topic “What Inspires Us.” Dr. Tao discussed how in a just civilization, capable of longevity, we would want equality of opportunity as well as equal access to happiness, but also we would want to operate within the ecological limits of this planet.
