Destruction is creation

just tax carbon

Need to live in a world that has ManhattanProject level mobilizations in pursuit of:

- AGI
- Fusion Energy
- Quantum Computing

How I Stay Optimistic | Notion This is a work in progress as of 8/01/25

Been thinking a lot about this recently. Optimism is a skill.

Churchill was terrible for a million reasons but in particular he was wrong that "democracy is the least-worst form of govt".

Democracy is incredibly good when configured correctly!!

Just build more housing

Always amazed and grateful when I can ask another founder for help and they solve my problem in 30 minutes 🤯

Doomers have nerfed their brain's ability to problem solve

Investing in climate is such a no-brainer 😩

"What we make, stands testament to who we are"

I think this quote will cause most people to be skeptical of CDR, but its made me extremely excited.

Geoengineering could fight climate change—if the public can be convinced Researchers’ failures to communicate are jeopardizing even basic tests, but new projects may point the way forward

"[Carbon removal] has got to go from something that most people have never heard of, to the biggest industry the world has ever seen in a really short time," says climate scientist David Ho, a professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

First layers of soil to be laid on 101 Freeway wildlife crossing, the world's largest The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing will allow mountain lions, bobcats and other wildlife to travel between the Simi Hills and the Santa Monica Mountains over a 10-lane freeway.

Wildlife crossings are extremely cool.

And I just learned that they even save money too.

Extremely grateful for LibGen 🙏

Global sales of combustion engine cars have peaked To decarbonize road transport, the world must move away from petrol and diesel cars and towards electric vehicles and other forms of low-carbon transport.

Some good news!

Just remembered The Simpsons episode about a comet that's gonna destroy the town.

But theyre all saved when the comet burns up in the atmosphere bc the town has too much pollution 😭

Protocol stacking is the future. We can unlock 100x returns in both climate impact + revenue.

Learned so much about #geoeningeering from @elizkolbert.bsky.social

The future of the planet is ours to make. #solarpunk

Without exaggeration: Donald Trump is a fascist that threatens all of humanity

Grateful for snow 🙏

Carbon removal is inevitable, otherwise...

• AI agents will be as productive as senior engineers within 2 years, but they will still be managed by humans.

• But then, in 5 to 10 years I do think AI will replace most, and then all, human labor.

Two engineers that I'm friends with recently learned about the speed of AI development. That got me thinking, so I want to lock in a couple predictions:

Really appreciated this visualization for 3 different modes of thinking. The "entrepreneurial thinking" mode in particular gives me #solarpunk vibes
