I shared with my kiddo who just moved to LA to start grad school (physics) — they might be interested! Too bad it will be gone before I get out there to visit in the spring!

Super relevant to a novel I’m writing but also a perspective shift in renegotiating our relationship with nature, something…

And I haven’t been a huge fan of degrowth because it seems to attract some folks who are more about retribution and pastoral romanticization than anything else (this is just the individuals I’ve encountered), but I did recently listen to a podcast that I found…

Wonderful group discussion, once again!

I mentioned the 10 week Alchemize program I’m halfway through (put on by Green Dreamer podcast, a program about groundedness and creativity): there were two sessions that really spoke to our connections with the non-human, both interior and exterior, and the porousness of the boundary between.

I’m glad to see you (Michael) put Carbon Coin and geoengineering both in the same bucket, because I have the same (negative) feelings about both of them. I see people get excited about these (and I do think of them as “technofixes”) because they think implementing them is “easier” than, say, wholesale change of the energy system or other…

I looked through my notes, trying to find where I heard KSR walking back the Carbon Coin… and couldn’t find any links, just my notes about it. Separately, I did find this interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6E34AYmY6A) where he was clear that he didn’t believe in blockchain or crypto as being “the answer.” And that people assume…

Great summary! And such a pleasure to be in conversation with everyone.

As an alternative to the hero’s journey, I mentioned Gail Carriger’s Heroine’s Journey, which talks about a different (not gendered) narrative structure where the protagonist’s connection to family and community is broken and the arc of the story is about…
