    A world that’s 100% electrified, with air/sea ships for long-distance travel, high-quality VR/telepresence, rent-over-own society, high mobility, hyperloops, rewilded/reforested countrysides, fake meat without factory farmed farting cows... as exciting a vision as colonizing Mars

        If I currently work in a non-tech field (accounting) what can/should I be doing to help bring about this world (aside from changing consumption patterns to favour such companies)? Just find interesting companies and go work for them?

        One main reason that we don't currently live in that world is that there are lots of small environmental degradations that don't get priced into transaction. Figuring out how to price externalities is an accounting problem.
