Restoring ecosystems doesn't only reverse nature loss, it's THE most powerful ally we could hope for against both climate collapse itself, and its consequences. As a further plus, it makes life SO much more beautiful!! Rewilding should be a global priority 🌍

We've normalised children seeing exhausted parents for two hours a night, old people eating alone and adults needing permission to spend a sunny Wednesday with someone they love. None of this feels remotely sane to me.

🔮🌙 John Dee - mathematician, occultist and advisor to Queen Elizabeth I - was born on this day in 1527. Often remembered as the Queen’s “magician”, Dee was one of the most fascinating figures of the Elizabethan world, with a scholarly interest in astronomy, mathematics, astrology and the occult.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them. (
There are things in the world that are more important than money. The fact that you seem not to believe this, that you seem to think any motive beyond ruthless acquisitiveness is fake, dishonest, or childish, is the heart of your problem. Your attitude is not by any means unique to tech, but the

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

"AI" has nothing todo with intelligence, it's just statistics. And as Kurt Gödel already found out in 1931, with his incompleteness theorem, computers will never be able to be really intelligent, which required being conscious. "They lost the plot". They only smelled the profit.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

If there were neither rule of law nor an elected government, billionaires like Elon Musk would BE our government. Our rights and freedoms will only last so long as we common people are able to pool our wealth and voices into an organization (e.g., a state) powerful enough to keep oligarchs in line.
