In the past, countries used fossil fuels to develop, as these happened to be the energy sources available. Now we have renewables, so we can abandon fossil fuels.

Environmental destruction is not inherent to industrial civilization, but is caused by capitalism. The growth imperative is a feature of capitalism and not part of any unchanging human nature.

By adopting a different economic/political system we can resolve all ecological tensions.

Is this story true? How would I know if it is?

@jackofalltrades @FantasticalEconomics there’s many texts about it : fiction & science; I like The Dispossessed; Story of B; Against Leviathan … https://wiki.techinc.nl/Hackers_tribes#Beyond_Civilization ; short answer : problem is with capitalism / totalitarian agriculture / monotheistic savior religions / “Takers”. Humans have been living in harmony with biosphere for millennia; only in last 12K years we’ve been destroyers… but this can change again!

@jackofalltrades @FantasticalEconomics “My question really is can we have: - billions of humans, - industrialization, and - a healthy biospher” => only one of these is really important , without healthy biosphere there cannot be any humans, let alone billions.

@quixoticgeek Barcelona’s “Nemo” is quite fun. & of course: swimming in the sea! Plus Park Guell … (what’s Genoa it ?!)

@quixoticgeek Genoa is less touristy… & Italian food is amazing! There’s many museums there, but I forgot exactly which ones I liked, 20 years ago :) it’s easy to reach by train. No sea thou?!

@rysiek the omelette on picture was one of the best ones I had in my life! (On the next train, dumplings & tofu sandwich not so much..) but the service was very good! & beer too!

@skinnylatte omg I once tried it home-made, my friend brought it from visiting her mother… taste explosion! I love the bitterness & strangeness of it… but in Holland I have to be satisfied with the store-bought…

Insightful words by @bert_hubert for “… you end up with organizations that have started moving all the things to the cloud.

Imagine a parallel universe, where people prioritize building robust, resilient, fail-safe systems that reduce complexity, unlike our reality where we're stuck in a precarious tower of brittle, accelerating complexity, which we fetishize while it's imploding.

Masto hive mind! A favour to ask...

I'm looking for British artists - ideally from marginal backgrounds, including BIPOC, disabled, working class, queer etc, who work on the environment and climate from an activist perspective. If can think of any names (or if that describes you!) please do let me know.

And boost for visibility please - thank you all kindly

A public service announcement with an expiration date: if you've loved my writing and science, I have a book proposal+sample chapter out on submission right now. The pitch is "The Psychology of Software Teams": a general audience, warmly human, accessible book for teams, leaders, and curious minds, filled to the brim with practitioner stories AND the new empirical social science of technology innovation. 🙌❤️

Let me know if you know editors who might be interested in this uniquely cool project.

I'm going to Paris in a couple of weeks for and trying to get excited about stuff to do in Paris but failing. Any suggestions on how to get hyped about this trip?

Challenges include: being gluten free, not being able stand or walk at museum speed for very long, needing to avoid COVID, not liking superciliousness or disdain, thinking most France-adjacent movies are sexist garbage, and being far too large to buy most French clothes :)

@vaurora there’s my favorite bookshop : Shakespeare & Co. ; a graveyard of famous peoples ;) ; square of Paris Comune & lots of graffiti art ; cute metro gates ; maybe a boat tour - seeing city from water is different! & apparently the cycling is much safer now than 15 years ago when I was visiting Paris last…
