This does not mean that my enthusiasm is unqualified. On the contrary, I shall have to express several major disagreements and caveats. But here we are offered the ideas of some very able professional thinkers (nota bene: thinkers, not “intellectuals”) about the world that we are to live or die in through the next generation. You may not like the ideas, but you had better not ignore them.
