That is, why all the doom and gloom pessimism when optimism and gratitude should be the response to all the progress we have realized in our time? 3.  There are many reasonable and smart people on both sides of the climate change issue. What are your thoughts these days? 4.  There are many products that seem to fall into the “can’t hurt, might help” category. Is there anything wrong with taking advantage of the placebo effect? 5.  Are there any investment takeaways from your research and insights?
