Just had a fabulously fun day running some Systems Games for @BoomtownFair Narrative Design Team and working out with them how to integrate emergence, feedback loops and tipping points, and some systems games, into the story lines for this year’s festival.

Loved working with @Hawkins_Brown architects this week on their plans to integrate regenerative practice. Lots of laughter during a new game on creating Positive Social Tipping Points - based on a tipping point I noticed during a pop concert recently

Great to hear Prof Tim Lenton on the @NewScientistPod talking about Positive Tipping Points and the amazing story of 80s pop legends A-ha creating a tipping point in EVs sales in Norway. My latest game includes this story and 5 others lnkd.in/eXmccX4d @rowhoop

Looks like the USA’s heading for a Totalitarian dictatorship? I would only add that her solutions are missing a key aspect - democrats need to listen to the concerns of people who vote for Trump and address them (thanks @OutrageOptimism for link) ft.com/video/bd19b92f-f0e5-4…

George Monbiot points out an important feedback loop here with politicians like Trump encouraging extrinsic values in society while those same extrinsic values lead to people like Trump being elected. How do we reverse that feedback loop? theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Please vote AGAINST Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill today @AnthonyMangnal1 Lets recover our international status as a climate action leader. If you vote for it imagine how you will explain that to you grandchildren- we know we're on the brink of deadly tipping points right now.

This came to me in a dream last night... If we objective life and treat it as a resource then that’s what AI will learn to do to us. How can we make sure AI training data represents valuing all nature, including those less powerful and intelligent than yourself (or AI's self)
