Kofi Annan: The World I'm Working To Create. #ClimateChange
-
I'm very much sick & tired of people saying we will "fix" climate change with some magical technical breakthrough. Eco-modernism, Techno-Solutionism etc. are self-delusional, dangerous silly talk. Don't forget: Tech was instrumental in causing the problem in the first place.

Economy for the Common Good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_for_the_Common_Good
Economy for the Common Good is a social movement advocating for an alternative economic model. It calls for working towards the common good and cooperation instead of profit-orientation and competition which lead to greed and uncontrolled growth. It makes much more sense for companies to create a so-called "common good balance sheet" than a financial balance sheet. The common good balance sheet shows the extent to which a company abides by values like human dignity, solidarity and economic sustainability.

Concept of the day: Enactivism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enactivism #ML
Enactivism argues that cognition arises through a dynamic interaction between an acting organism and its environment. It claims that our environment is one which we selectively create through our capacities to interact with the world. "Organisms do not passively receive information from their environments, which they then translate into internal representations. Natural cognitive systems...participate in the generation of meaning ...engaging in transformational and not merely informational interactions: they enact a world."
