Most people think capitalism is markets, trade, businesses, labour...
Whereas these predate capitalism by 1000s of years. Capitalism is the 1st economic system in human history that’s organised around constant expansion. And that’s what makes it so uniquely destructive.

I've often wondered how Steven Pinker's amazingly sloppy research and baseless claims* have for so long received a free pass. I wonder whether it could have something to do with a. his connections with the rich and powerful; b. his claims often aligning with what they want to hear.

This isn't something distant or far away. Super-agent & close Epstein ally, John Brockman had huge influence. His 'rockstar' writers, scientists and academics dominated our book pages & broadsheets.
We need nothing less than a total revisionist history of the last 20 years.

Health is not a by-product of economic growth. It is a fundamental human right & ultimate goal of economic activity. As the WHO Council on the Economics of Health For All argued, achieving #HealthForAll requires redesigning how we value, finance & innovate for health, & state capacity to deliver it.

Many areas here in the Western Cape have had rough week with fires.
100,000 hectares have burnt. It’s been extremely dry and hot and the winds have been intense.
This was all predicted to intensify as we cross 1.5°C of heating.
