When it comes to climate, if it's not action at disruptive scales and speeds, it's predatory delay.

That's when we are, now, after decades of inaction. That's the curve we're on.

We're completely out of time for gradual, incremental approaches and small comfortable steps.

Everyone who rides the subway to work or school every day knows that we’ve reached a crisis point. You wait on a dangerously overcrowded platform as packed train after packed train passes you by. And when you finally get on, you’re crushed. Toronto commuters need relief, now. 1/4

In crypto, "product design" has created a new breed of product leaders & PM's. Relevant skills:

1. Experience with distributed systems problems.
2. Cryptoeconomics: knowledge of cryptography + economic incentives.
3. Mechanism design: know how to incentivize rational actors.

1/ Alex Jones is the flagrant, concentrated example of how social media’s algorithms undermine public discourse. But the bigger problem is the diffuse effect of those algorithms

Much trouble is caused these days by mistaking highly temporary artifacts of the 20th century oil, coal and gas booms as somehow essential to nature of prosperity.

Even more trouble is caused by conservative tribal identification with those artifacts as symbols of a golden age.
