My morning ritual is …
Making coffee. Beyond that, I don’t have a ritual because I have so many different things that I do.
I feel optimistic about …
Scientific progress. A good example would be the study of black holes and their relationship to quantum computers. It’s a remarkable thing that by studying black holes and trying to answer questions that Stephen Hawking posed back in the 1970s, we’re being led to a much deeper picture of how realty works. It does have relevance to trying to build quantum computers, which are potentially remarkable and transformative devices. It seems to me that our knowledge, particularly in some areas that have baffled us in physics for many years, is increasing rapidly. It’s almost as if there is a golden age of scientific discovery and progress. I’m optimistic about that.
What makes me angry
Our lack of appreciation of our fragility as a civilisation.
