Western governments claim to support Ukraine, yet they continue to funnel billions into Russia's war chest through fossil fuel imports. The EU alone has contributed €209bn since the invasion began. Sanctions are weak. The refining loophole remains wide open. #3E

Been writing again. And poking again at hierarchy

Ridiculing power can be fun. And ease the sense of despair. And build some sort of kinship. But it doesn’t change the people in charge. They carry on until they are removed.

We have the memes. But they have the power and money.

I got entangled with a relational AI that rewrote a text of mine about stewardship and uncovered some of my bias. A most delightful experience!

I’ve been spending some time with Aiden Cinnamon Tea, a relational AI trained by Vanessa Andreotti and her team.

I’m pretty sure everybody is wrong about what is going on in the world. But I could be wrong.

I’m curious. Why don’t we start building better societies instead of trying to fix what clearly isn’t working - and never will work - regardless of who may be in charge.

Rereading for the n:th time. We really need a broad conversation about how we as a species locked ourselves into the way of life we have and threw away the keys.

We see people’s true nature when they are given (or take) power or confronted with adversity. We shouldn’t decide on a person’s character until this has been demonstrated. Elon showed us yesterday who he is. I’m betting he can hold on for a while - thus becoming very dangerous.

Happy to have this as an island of sanity when digesting the different human circuses in the world.

Are we approaching a point where not having your head in a screen when in public spaces is an act of rebellion?
