Actually a really interesting sci-fi book written in part by Arthur C. Clarke on this topic called 'In the light of other days'. Hypothesizes the most 'viewed' historical event would be Jesus' life.

I remember diving to collect receivers off Coogee and seeing actual toilet paper in the water. Not sure how people swim there. This is what happens when government ignores experts when the outflows were designed...

This is a cool idea and would be a great way to encourage environmental stewardship while helping to fill government coffers, but come on, what are the odds there will be 50 loopholes that all the obvious bad actors will just avoid?

The fact the talk is about *profit* is the obvious issue

Co-designer/pilot of Deep Sea Challenger is also a dead giveaway!

Absolutely, a whole lot of ethical issues with made-up references. Shows a break with the scientific process given science is nothing without previous work

Did my honours lit review manually back in 1998…took me a full day working till 2am to finish. Then someone said oh there’s this program called endnote that does that for you. Saved myself hundreds if not thousands of hours since.

Yup. References and citations are almost mindless now that I'm used to using a manager. Just a tidy up at the very end.

It's an interesting justification for not employing more people. They're saying they needed consultants because staff were experiencing burnout. So... hire more staff? $85k pays for a fair bit of salary...

I used to feel awkward even when doing it on dead sharks 😅
