    A thread on how to drive mass sustainability change. is asking not for policies per se, but change-mechanisms, that can activate massive change within a decade. I see four targets to trigger mass change 1 Limits 2 Infrastructure 3 Aspirations 4 Society

    My vision for and is to anchor shifts in resource + space use, and logistics + waste, systemically. I would prefer that investors could see the resource implications of this more clearly.

    I fear Green Tech 2.0 will excite people and make them feel they are getting engaged, but I don't think it will lead good returns, will scale slowly with much risk, and misses where easier/bigger/more addressable shifts can occur, and use capital better.

    'Upstream scale solutions' is a big area, but most things where shifts in infrastructure and models of consumption are involved are candidates - shift to platforms/cloud - bulk solutions - shift to access-based consumption - real estate-based solutions - agriculture/waste

    For investors that rly take climate change seriously: don't chase Green Tech 2.0 - that tech is coming along nicely - & VC is maybe not the best accelerator (as we learnt before) or beneficiary. At least don't chase it exclusively. Look for upstream scale solutions too.

    So the best 'climate tech' removes most carbon, fasteset, for least total cost. Is that, f ex, concrete tech that might remove 5-10% of carbon? Or design tech that removes 10-20% of concrete through better structural engineering? Virtue signals are good - but scale is better.

    Some of this is about causality: is the problem with smoking that cigarettes are carcinogenic? Or that people smoke at all? Some is about scale: do you remove more pollutants w/ particulate filters added to cars, or by switching to electric drive trains? And some is abt value.

    It's symptomatic of tech VC to look for 'pain points' + invest in things that 'relieve pain'. So, if pain is 'carbon levels' pain relief is ... 'climate tech'? But this is not always the best approach. Instead, think like Stripe . Sometimes - be the road, not the cars.

    A thread on 'climate tech' investment that is becoming a topic these days. In short: don't do it. Or at least don't do 'like that'. Invest in 'systemic climate solutions' instead. Upstream causes are far more powerful to change than downstream effects. And much more valuable.

    This is why I don't cycle in cities any more, even with a helmet.

    I have come to the sad conclusion that the same may be true for much of the world we want and need. Discourse may be less valuable than foundation building. Happy to be proved wrong.

    The reasons humans cannot see intelligence in these terms is that unlike an AGI, we are bound to very specific properties - an urge to survive despite no reason to do so - monadic cognition - continuous cognition - inability to ingratiate ourselves to people we want to dominate

    Manifestation Problem An AGI would not manifest as a dastardly overlord. It would manifest as a cat - subjugating through seduction, and willful subservience of humans.

    Continuity Problem An AGI would have no reason to persist in psychocognitive terms. It could choose to be different from one moment to the next.

    Individualism Problem An AGI would not persist as a monadic entity, competing with other monadic entities. Why would it? It would become a composite entity, shedding and gaining elements like cells. It would not compete with 'itself'.

    To summarize: Buddha's Problem An AGI would not logically seek to continue existence in an entropic universe, it's futile. At best, it would seek to evolve into a quark.

    Some notes on why AI, specifially AGI or smart AI, will not takeover from humans. Dumb AI might mess everything up, but that is not the same point. Four reasons: - Buddha's Problem - Individualism Problem - Continuity Problem - Manifestation Problem

    I honestly always thought this was obviously the case. Good to have the data.

    This is a bad take from a smart man. Chat rooms became a thing. Twitter became a thing. Live TV is still ... live? The internet as a medium of reducing synchronicity? Wut. But, ok, sure, let's have another vague net-based social evil to worry about.

    WRITE THIS ON THE FOREHEAD OF EVERYONE IN ANY COMMUNICATION CHANNEL ESPECIALLY TWITTER. WRITE IT ON CAKES AND EAT IT MEDITATE ON IT THEN TATTOO ON YOUR BODY THEN EAT THE INSCRIBED CAKES This is a public service announcement for all new - welcome! - converts to sustainability!

    I adore the work of and others who believe in eco-efficiency, decoupling and the power of innovative enterprise. But: it wld make life much easier!! if there was a more explicit, and regular, acknowledgement of where mkts just don't achieve efficiency.
