This might be my favorite Optimistic Rebellion so far...

The U.S. is now so far over our skis on debt, the best hail mary is to pray for a productivity miracle. (Yeah, nobody in the news is using this exact language, but that's what's happening.) And there's really only one contender big enough to deliver the miracle...

Why do we create organizations, at all?? 100 years ago, an economist set out to answer this very question, and his definition has largely worked for all corporations since... ...until now. A.I. is about to unravel the reason organizations need to exist.

In this week's Hello Tomorrow episode we talk about space. Fresh off the Artemis II mission, we should be exited and unified... ...but we're not. And billionaires are spending, well, billions, on a new space race. Is this the path we should be on?? New episode, available now!

"Hey you, Luddite! Yeah, you!" I had NO idea this is who the Luddites actually were. ...or that I actually AM one. "Hey you, Luddite! Yeah, you!" I had NO idea this is who the Luddites actually were.

Do you have any idea what a "trillion" is? Spoiler: No, you don't. Because you can't... our brains just don't work that way.

This week's Optimistic Rebellion: 1. Reclaim "Luddite" — it used to mean "person concerned with fairness around new tech" 2. Find and support new politicians — we need more folks to support workers! 3. Talk about WHY we hate A.I. — help people understand and go deeper on their feels

We don't just need A.I. to work. We need it to work for EVERYONE. This is a big distinction, with catastrophic differences. If the productivity gains accumulate at the top it will ruin us all.

Have you heard of the "White City?" Our first stop on the World's Fair tour is 1893 in Chicago. The city is rotting and the White City is gleaming. What can we learn from this story about optimism...?

Three things for leaders: 1) Using A.I. as a cost-cutting tool will accelerate the consumer collapse. Don't do that. 2) Your workers are carrying ambient anxiety; name it directly or lose their trust. 3) Protect the space A.I. creates, don't re-spend it on more work. It's where wisdom grows.

talking to people on the internet and being nice to them is something where you get fucked up really bad and nobody helps you after you get fucked up

The myth of Christian genocide is so classic and so false. This is the classic example of using culture wars to incite real wars to increase popularity and military funding. Do not be fooled.

This is where most people get it wrong. They stay busy, but nothing really moves. The problem isn’t the effort, it’s the direction. There’s a simple way to cut through the noise and focus on what actually drives results. #HedgehogPrinciple #InnovativeSmile #OrangeCarrotMedia

"It's lovely, yeah, it's real nice".  Today looks set to be May's hottest ever day on record, with temperatures passing 28 degrees in some areas. And the sunshine is forecast to last for a few more days. Our reporter Mairéad Cleary spoke to some people enjoying the sun. #VMNews

💙💙💙 S.323 would create a near-total, effectively a “from-conception,” ban with almost no exceptions. I spent yesterday evening writing postcards. The link in my bio has a letter you can send to the committee if you are a SC resident as well as my analysis of the bill.

Open competition for power in our politics has its downside. We need some countervailing institutions to slow the rise of psychopaths to the top and to focus democracy on what kind of future we want rather than on which memes can be got to fly.

Я повен мрій про велелюдну згоду, Бо дням моїм не буде вороття, Бо хочу я, щоб на чолі народу Світився знак і від мого життя. Бо там, де я пройшов, удруге не пройду. В слідах моїх земля дуби підніме й трави, І виплеснуть вони знов силу молоду Під крила вечорів і під світань заграви.
