00:12 When you hear the term,
00:14 the future, what does that conjure up?
00:18 Human activity has damaged
00:20 the systems of life that sustain us all.
00:22 We're seeing drought, wildfires, floods.
00:26 We could commit ourselves to extinction,
00:29 or we could commit ourselves to a civilization
00:32 in which human beings can continue to thrive.
00:36 Civilization is precious.
00:40 Life is precious.
00:43 I set out in search of people who are building better futures.
00:48 Humans are extraordinary.
00:51 We're such a miracle.
00:53 The land is resilient.
00:55 We are resilient.
00:56 Fusion is really the holy grail of energy.
00:59 This is the largest 3D printed community in the world.
01:03 I have to know where I came from so that we can move forward.
01:07 What does it mean to be human at this moment in time?
01:10 To care.
01:12 Boy, that really blows my digital mind.
01:14 We've got to believe that there's a better way,
01:17 where people have clean air,
01:19 clean water, available food, cheap, abundant energy.
01:23 The big shared human projects, confronting climate change,
01:27 staying a step ahead of the next pandemic,
01:29 preventing nuclear conflict, will require cooperation.
01:33 That's the key for success.
01:34 We are one team, the world.
01:37 Using human innovation and the brain that we can unlock,
01:40 our problems will dissolve overnight.
01:42 That's so important, Ari.
01:44 Here.
01:46 This.
01:48 People are building better futures
01:51 for themselves and the communities around them.
01:55 This sustainable building is the cleanest power plant in the world.
01:59 The roof is an alpine ski slope.
02:03 What we do and the things we create over the next few decades
02:08 will shape all minds going forward for the rest of time.
02:12 Hundreds of years from now,
02:14 they're going to look back on our generation
02:20 as the most pivotal in human history.
