Barack Obama lays out the top three issues he's most worried about, and the biggest one is climate change
"Climate change would be right at the top,"Obama said that modern culture today contributes to climate change by encouraging people to consume more. By way of example, he said that houses today consume more electricity than before.
Obama says that although new technology has given a larger reach to successful figures like himself and Benioff, helping them become more successful and influential, he also sees that technology has "amplified inequalities." He says he thinks about what can be done so that "every kid has a good school and nobody is homeless on the streets."
"Part of what happens is that people don't know what's true and what's not, what to believe and what not to believe," Obama said. "They're suddenly confronted with things that they didn't have to deal with...I think that right now one of the biggest challenges we face is how do we get a common conversation and a common culture."
"Even if I had a more conservative bent and you had a more liberal bent, we shared something that allowed us to then have a disagreement but not feel completely separate," Obama said. "Now, if you watch Fox News, you live in a different reality than if you read the New York Times."
