In their words
The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“be like the you know positive vision story and it was again sort of in the spirit of I think a war game trying to illustrate you know sort of one possible concrete future path and then of course things aren't going to actually go exactly like that but having like one viable plan that makes any sense at all uh is like you know we hope sort of a positive step forward relative to sort of the previous state of just like abstract arguments in the void that are sort of not that tethered to reality”Play from 8:44Report a misattribution
