Can Morals Be Learned – or Will Humans Not Be Destroyed?

Hey people. I am Lauren Goode here, writing about Steven Levy — the last one I heard was on his way to Lake Tahoe while researching his next book, which has not yet been announced. I’m writing from my desk in Silicon Valley, amidst smoldering smoke from a devastating wildfire in Northern California. We are also in the midst of a decision to fill gubernatorial memories here, and we are waiting to see what the opening of schools means as a significant part of the Covid-19 epidemic. What is that? Sorry — my editor tells me that I have to keep the complexities of the “End” section of this Letter. Don’t worry: Anyway, someone in Silicon Valley is rebuilding the next big company.
