You don't know how much I've wanted to re-open last year's air-conditioning Stan Cox debate thread after being in hot areas of the world where cheap/continuously available energy isnt a thing, let alone refrigerant management skills.

I'm curious if you end up loving or hating it. Grew up a fan of it but perhaps lacked the maturity to see the issues with it... bsky.app/profile/kati...

Kant gave form to a world already obsessed with sorting. But for those of us who care about people and places and equity and justice it isn’t about sorting. It’s about release.

If there isn't one, it makes you wonder why Jony's also riding that hype train through the 'io' business recently sold.

"Thinking like a Mountain: Towards a Council of All Beings" is inspired by Aldo Leopold, but is a collection of essays from a number of roots in the regen space (John Seed, Joanna Macy, Arne Naess, Pat Fleming, ...) www.deepecology.org.au/philosophy/t...

Do you believe in the rhetoric of "Clean energy abundance is upon us, and we are at no risk of AI moving that needle"? Or do you believe that there's tradeoffs - whether its fossil energy or mineral energy? bsky.app/profile/vive... And for the former, how much www.enabledemissions.com is happening?

Part of me wants to spend more time revisiting your threads, the one on "what’s possible in resolving the apparent contradiction between anthrogenic landscapes (where we live) & be responsible in the Anthropocene" also seems interesting in light of all the 'abundance' discourse happening.

What's more frustrating is how he's running with the 'working really hard on new things' narrative that news commentators give over real reflection on the impacts of everything that's happened. bsky.app/profile/just... and Swisher m.youtube.com/watch?v=O1nh...

So that interview was originally published Dec. 23 2024, a day later Doomer Optimism published Pogue talking about Mauritania ( youtu.be/xDvQCnk9Z58?... ) and increasing climate change. Sounds like he may be trying to find out an effective way to be of service outside of political affiliation?

I didn't want to listen to the TESCREAL discussion out of tiredness of hearing so much of that discourse the past couple years (some of the post-SBF EA critiques were too broad of a brush), but enjoyed the religious & movement histories Rev. Dr. Otis & Dr. Émile brought. bsky.app/profile/gild...

The interview with Craig Johnson is interesting for those sensemaking Gen Z and what to do, particularly liked their critique at 34m about others in the space not offering good answers or slipping into essentialism in the process: bsky.app/profile/matt...
