Some stuff I’ve read or listened to lately that seems worth sharing:
On Chris Hayes’ podcast “Why Is This Happening?” (WITHPod), he interviews Robinson Meyer, executive director of Heatmap about the state the climate crisis, trends in fossil fuel use, S-curves and possible inflection points, and more. Really well-informed but also accessible discussion. Too many interesting ideas to find a good pull-quote – go have a listen.
Recently read an sf novel about cognition and AI and cephalopods that was well-done modern sf: The Mountain in the Sea. I highlighted a few things as I was going along – visible in my Goodreads account.
A question I found very provocative from adrienne marie brown’s book “emergent strategy“: How do you show up in the world? And, related: How do you want to show up in the world? How do others close to you perceive how you show up in the world? What about those not close to you? I love this for its emphasis on action – showing up. If justice is love in action, if generosity is gratitude in action, then I think how one shows up in the world can be seen as character in action.
