Advancing human flourishing on Earth should be the primary moral standard for evaluating environmental and energy policies.

“when we're thinking about the Earth and what our goal for it is our goal we need to be clear our goal could either be to advance human flourishing on Earth or to eliminate human impact on Earth”

Human flourishing is the essential North Star that should be used as a metric to evaluate the effectiveness of ideas and policies.

“We have a North Star of human flourishing, let's say. Maybe we don't agree on that, but you need a North Star, and you need a metric by which you're going to judge whether you've achieved that North Star.”
