My first year as a PhD student has been exciting, intense, and full of lessons.
My research brought me to Barcelona, Naples, Vancouver, Madrid, Geneva, Lausanne, and Trieste. Each place gave me the chance to share ideas and get feedback.

The big scaling of extractive productivity methods - like AI in the digital sector, monoculture in agriculture, trawling in fishing - pretty much always emerges w/ an aggressive, no-externality mode.
At the very least govts need to ID the losers of tech and decide *with them* what to do w/ it.

Bottom trawling is horribly destructive to coastal ocean ecosystems, and deep-sea mining will do the same to the open ocean. #OceanFilm 🌊

China won't be defeated by Trump's chicken game. Beijing will respond despite the high economic cost of the trade war. This comes not only from its non-democratic system, but also because China sees time differently from Western countries. For italians, I suggest this podcast episode.
