I don’t even feel like this is the right prescription. If he’s trying to say anything at all (which is questionable) I assume he’s trying to say that we don’t move fast enough and make hard decisions, that we put ruinous empathy above the greater good;

But then he just comes and does the opposite, putting ruthless efficiency above considered action.

But then maybe even he has to listen to his own advice. Stop trying to “extend the light of consciousness”, having empathy for people who don’t even exist yet, and help solve real problems.
