Sorry I haven't responded to your email. It's definitely not because I was busy making a giant paper maché head 😅

Today I read the last lines of The Lorax to ~500 Business students in a lecture on worldviews, values & climate justice-part of a new module "Enacting Sustainable Development" (you had to be there!) 😅 Bravo Trinity Business School for leading the way & requiring all students do the module! #GreenSky
Speaker in front of lecture slide on "ancient Irish worldviews" including images from Manchán Magan's work on the Irish language, mythology and nature Screenshot of News page from Trinity College Dublin, which reads "Trinity introduces interdisciplinary sustainability education. Posted on: 26 September 2024. In September, approximately 600 new students are taking a very different kind of module in Trinity. The module, called Enacting Sustainable Development, is mandatory for new students in Trinity’s Business School. " Link: https://www.tcd.ie/news_events/articles/2024/trinity-introduces-interdisciplinary-sustainability-education/ Photo of the last page of The Lorax by Dr Seuss. It reads: Catch! calls the Once-ler. He lets something fall. It's a Truffula Seed. It's the last one of all! You're in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds. And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs. Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care. Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air. Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack. Then the Lorax and all of his friends may come back.

It completely tallies that AI is mainly a Dr Seuss machine
Photo of the last part of Dr Seuss poem "Too Many Daves" - which reads: This makes things quite difficult at the McCaves' As you can imagine, with so many Daves. And often she wishes that, when they were born, She had named one of them Bodkin Van Horn And one of them Hoos-Foos. And one of them Snimm. And one of them Hot-Shot. And one Sunny Jim. And one of them Shadrack. And one of them Blinkey. And one of them Stuffy. And one of them Stinkey. Another one Putt-Putt. Another one Moon Face. Another one Marvin O'Gravel Balloon Face. And one of them Ziggy. And one Soggy Muff. One Buffalo Bill. And one Biffalo Buff. And one of them Sneepy. And one Weepy Weed. And one Paris Garters. And one Harris Tweed. And one of them Sir Michael Carmichael Zutt And one of them Oliver Boliver Butt And one of them Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate ... But she didn't do it. And now it's too late.
