Randall Munroe On Being Good With The Numbers

Randall Munroe going through what people like Elon Musk and Geoff Bezos do to map out the future of humanity, and figure how to make money from it, except he's not worrying about the profitability of the exercise. He points out that it is thought-provoking, however.
