“In a world that is rushing headlong toward climate change & possible collapse, speed is not progress but peril. The faster you go, the quicker you approach your own end.”

“The notions of borders, nations, alliances & war that helped sustain ‘the long peace’ of the late 20th century are crumbling. In their place, something far less stable has emerged: a world in which the gray zone is no longer the exception, but the rule.”

“The 2028 presidential race in the United States is shaping up to be the first-ever ‘AI election.’ It will be defined by how candidates propose to cope with the upheaval wrought by the widespread integration of artificial intelligence into society.”

“There is no ultimate insurer of the total future. That doesn’t mean chaos. It means something more unsettling: Order exists, but it is partly made..” (Stuart Kauffman) www.noemamag.com/emergence-is... #complexity #synthesis #science #emergence #futurescapes @noemamag.com
“Gray zones” were meant to describe places on the brink of war. Increasingly, they define the entire world.
We won’t make progress on decarbonization until we rein in the power of fossil fuel asset owners and invest in green assets. Tax and investment policy can help.

‘This is not financial advice’
I’ve a new essay in @noemamag.com on how ‘finfluencers’ use #socialmedia to prey on economic desperation.

The universe creatively sets the rules for its own becoming.
“At a time when traditional markers of male success, such as homeownership & predictable family formation, have become less attainable, many men feel increasing pressure to find a way — however reckless — to achieve prosperity & demonstrate value.”
