Hard to not feel bitter.

Even as the world’s most important climate conference gets captured by Big Oil later this month.

Australia is a relatively small economy but potentially a very big deal for the global climate transition - from critical minerals to hydrogen derivatives.

Climate is politics.

And to win the politics, just like startups, timing the market right is often everything.

Our biggest ever cohort just ended. It also had our highest ever NPS at 86!

I love @terradotdo team ❤️ and the incredible climate learning & doing community they create.

Every. Single. Time 🙏🏽

All cohorts @terradotdo are named after endangered species.

The current one? Axolotls.

And that’s where I found myself outside Mexico City today!

On living in SF.

Everyone here thinks the world will end soon.

“Venture capital is 5x overfunded, 5x overstaffed” - @pmarca

That sounds about right from my experience.

Genuine Q to folks thinking abt career paths & deciding to invest other people’s money…

In addition to ROI, does “where-I’m-needed-most” matter to you? Why/not?

.@amitvarma, your episode w @puram_politics and the meandering discourse on his life sadly just illustrated your guest’s point:

Sometimes it’s just better to talk about the ideas than the person behind it 😏

Love the podcast...

Good day to remind myself: startups don’t die when they run out of cash. They die when the founders give up.

These two emotions capture how I feel where we are in this climate moment.

Free tip on how to reduce spam on Twitter by 30x.

Make the 30sec process to report a tweet, like, y’know, 1 second?

Exciting to see our @terradotdo alum @EdmundGemmell aceing a climate debate with Nigel Farage!

Ed, that’s not a🍺 though! 🤔

I wrote a letter to my daughter on what she should pay attention to among all the millions of things that happened in 2022.

What would you tell your kids?

Astonishing how young the key figures in these revolutions were, even though our mental images of them are as older men.

Quantum physics in 1925-26:
Heisenberg 24
Pauli 25
Oppenheimer 21
Schrödinger 38

American Revolution in 1776:
James Madison 25
Lafayette 19 (!)
Jefferson 33

Chatting at home about what a joke voice AIs like Alexa are in today’s chatGPT world.

Right on cue, Alexa pipes up w a *joke: “What happened when a Jedi kissed a toad” 🐸🤦🏻‍♂️

Ugh.

“Star Warts” btw.
