Systems thinking is the skill set that’s most valuable as traditional product roles like PM and UX get redefined

Congrats @guardian, this is easily one of the most dishonest articles I've read in a long time, just pure ideological propaganda. In short the article's main thesis is that climate change is a "democracy" vs "autocracies" issue whereby virtuous "democracies" are struggling valiantly against climate change while evil "autocracies" are the primary obstacle to progress. And the central question being: how can we, the good guys, force these bad "autocracies" to behave responsibly on climate? As the article puts it, "democracies" apparently have attributes like popular pressure and transparency that mean only they can address important global issues, whereas bad awful "autocracies" are controlled by fossil fuel interests and have no internal pressure to change course. Only problem with this thesis? It's completely false. In fact reality is pretty much the opposite: the only major country with an open climate change denier leading it is non other than the US - the supposed beacon of democracy that just withdrew from the Paris Agreement again and is now the world's top exporter of fossil fuels. And by far the biggest driver of the global energy transition, building an extraordinary 74% of the world's clean solar and wind projects (ft.com/content/e51744d9-e585…), is none other than China. And this trend is accelerating: more and more the US is becoming the world's principal roadblock to global decarbonization efforts, with the Trump administration now using tariffs as a weapon to pressure countries to maintain fossil fuel dependence, specifically US fossil fuels. Even the New York Times recently had to admit this was the case in a lengthy investigation documenting how China leads the energy transition while America actively undermines it (nytimes.com/interactive/2025…). As they document, China is racing toward a renewable future while Trump's America is trying to keep the world "hooked on fossil fuels" through economic coercion and dismantling of climate policies. Long story short, presenting things as if it was "autocracies keeping us hooked on fossil fuels" as The Guardian is doing here is textbook disinformation. Which incidentally also destroys the article's theories around "democracies" supposedly having better information flows and accountability - hard to claim those virtues when peddling basic propaganda.

Makes sense. Strong correlation. Lot of monks out there who leveraged their sobriety to build two copycat businesses to get rich. Crick, Lilly, Sagan, Mullis, Feynman, Freud, Jobs, Edison could have all invented telegram if they had just been sober

This is actually one of the worst books in existence. It teaches you just enough about system dynamics to have a vague high level understanding about how they work, basically putting you right at the peak of Dunning Kruger Mount Stupid. And then spends the last like third of the book telling you how smart you are now and to go be an activist and fuck with complex systems. Probably like 90% of all the retarded policy and cultural changes that midwit academics implement that end up destroying society stem from system dynamics theory retards like Meadows.

It isn’t about decentralisation vs centralisation. The only thing that is important is that users can just up and leave any chain without incurring any losses.

Please stop flogging this use case. “Retail investors” aka citizens investing in companies is dumb and dangerous. Always has been. For starters they don’t have the money. Second they don’t have the skill or time to due diligence a venture (and why for a small USD invest at that)

If you build it they will come doesn’t work Steve Blank - The Lean Startup 2003!!! 20 years later still suggests reading for Web3

AI hyperbole in the tech industry is off the charts: foundation model FUD, incumbent invincibility, doomer declarations. most people have a story to sell you – or themselves – whether they admit it or not. I wrote about these hallucinations on a blogging site (link in bio):

I was on the @quorummedia_xyz pod talking with the awesome @brandoncnolte We had a blast and covered a lot of ground about how we think about how to share ownership and what organisational and DAO designers can learn from nature Lots of tips in here for builders in web3 & web2

Well. At least now we know where all the VC drAI powder is going

strong commentary over on youtube

apple really - like really - wants you to own this movie

dude must be new to web3. it just isn’t the web3 way to invite users to anything. not even your products. never mind conferences

look at this chart the headline here shouldn’t be the decline

We’re in the entrenchment age. Most if not all innovation benefits incumbents.

A whole lot of investment dollars flowing into “infrastructure” and “primitives” that will turn out to be plain old commodities competing on price
