iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I unfortunately understand why our young culture is afraid of nature. It still sees our misgivings. We would have not destroyed 97 % of the southern boreal forests if we would have had some rudimentary understanding of nature. #Sufficiency

In North Karelia you don’t just get invited to remote rivers by reconnaisance soldiers, sing karaoke from the heart, but you are seen by God. At least some times. I chose #Sufficiency but it shaped me more than I expected.

North Karelia is little different 🙃

I’ve never seen nature behave like that, as it did that night. There was a wind in the river canyon that just stopped. Never seen anything like that before. It’s odd to explain. Right before it, I felt the wind moving through me. I felt seen by something that is not human. It is old, it sees all.

The other time the situation got heavy was when I saw a mayfly on the lake. I followed it to a small island, and behind there was huge perch shoal. Never seen anything like it before.

Once you fully commit to sufficiency, ancient nature sees you in brief moments. That to me is God.

Sufficiency is a different way to live. It is hard sometimes. Give the world a chance. Push through hard times, do it for people, nature and society.

Sufficiency is e-bikes, heat pumps, Intercity trains, all running on clean electricity. It’s the dreams

As in #Ukraine we will destroy any imperial dreams of taking territory that does not belong to Russians. It will be swift and hard, and we will win.

I don’t promote violence, but if the Russians try to come across here, we will kill them. The people I know will go first. Putin needs to have at least five hundred thousand well-trained troops with winter capability to take territory here. None of that exists

Canada should embrace ✨Sufficiency✨for people, nature and indeed society. I’m sorry for being so radical to propose it 🙃

Calling up three field armies is Finnish, but sufficiency might also be international. Do it for people, nature and society

We’ve done this in the Nordics already. Transport remains problematic, but change happens.

Aarne Granlund @aarnegranlund.eurosky.social · 04/10/2026

Hey Canadians. Run in local politics, it is really nasty and hard. But change takes place. The harder it feels, the better the outcome.

Aarne Granlund @aarnegranlund.eurosky.social · 04/10/2026

We would have a really large response to a Russian intervention. I’m not saying this lightly. We are capable of large-scale land warfare instantly, if that is required.

Folks in the climate scene should know that having an international career among the societal elites is not necessarily going to change things. I was at the New York City Climate Week some years ago, and that did not affect Finnish national policies at all. Other work did. #Sufficiency

Dealing with Indigeous rights might teach us Finns. I’m for nature and people.

Thinking that you are omnipotent and not needing allies is not a winning strategy. Even the United States needs allies.

Russkiy Mir is a tired, old way to deal with society. We need a better vision of modernity in Europe, taking into account all that we do for people, nature and society.

A real empire that rules the world couples energy use to low-carbon power, builds high speed train networks and biking infrastructure.

When I mean that my handle is for people, nature and society, it includes Ukrainians, Indigenous Sámi folks, and everyone under pressure from extraction. Drop in

I support #Ukraine being a North Karelian. People fight the Russians at massive scale. We should never forget about Ukraine. Finland is ready for a big fight, and we should learn tactics from the Ukrainians

Aarne Granlund @aarnegranlund.eurosky.social · 03/10/2026

Russians rape and pillage, sell fossil fuels and want to dominate Europe without any plan for people, nature and society. We will fight them. We support Ukraine. What ever it takes.

It is important to oppose extraction. You might not see it in your daily life, or even in politics. There is much more to people, nature and society.

Aarne Granlund @aarnegranlund.eurosky.social · 03/10/2026

The Chinese are better at empire than the Russians, and indeed the Americans who vote badly. Planetary Boundaries are true for all of us, regardless of the daily economics.

My handle gives you the real work, not fluffy technology dreams. We won national prizes for active mobility. It’s tangible enough to talk about.

Most of the Finnish heat pumps are air source, some are ground source. It's a huge success story in the Nordics. You'd need more insulation in the UK to begin with, but these things benefit you instantly. Along with district heating, that we pioneered at scale. www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-h...

A common criticism of heat pumps is that they do not work in cold weather. But how did heat pumps became a Nordic success story?

I mean not to hover above other people by talking about our work, such as some international celebrities do. #Sufficiency is work for people, nature and society. Get involved.
