In the late 1990s, Julia Hill climbed a 200 foot (61 meters) approximately 1000-year-old Californian redwood tree & didn't come down for another 738 days. She ultimately reached an agreement with Pacific Lumber Company to spare the tree & a 200-foot buffer zone surrounding the tree.

As public concern grows about the health and environmental impacts of so-called forever chemicals, a new investigation reveals that 3M, the American manufacturing giant, discovered and hid the risks of these toxic substances for decades. https://t.co/ESsr52lvaE

@Cancelcloco @BernieSanders The DNC chose Trump over Sanders. They rigged the primaries against the most popular candidate because they preferred Trump as a worst-case scenario to Sanders.

If Trump won? Business as usual for the donors funding both sides. Better that than ever allowing a rep of the people

@MarkRuffalo @exxonmobil thanks for consistently using your voice for things that are actually meaningful.

[Jonathan Davis @JDavis_Protopia]

@SenSanders Thanks for being perhaps the only voice of integrity.

I feel we are living in a time of decline, and I will at least be able to tell my children that in my lifetime I got to see a real living breathing example of integrity in politics, even if it was only one.

[Jonathan Davis @JDavis_Protopia]

One of the best interviews I've seen in a long time.
@SamoBurja talks about how to avoid #collapse, including the need for 'great founders' such as the founding fathers of the USA.

Thanks to @Liv_Boeree for an exceptional podcast.

@jim_rutt The 1st reason to ban or regulate TikTok is that it is psychologically damaging. 2nd is foreign state information control.

Currently it’s a distinct lack of control, showing content that is other wise shadow banned and restricted. Ironic people are turning to China for freedom

@jakeshieldsajj I wish Sanders was running as an independent.

@TOEwithCurt how do we avert extinction and co-create human-biosphere symbiosis.

So far, Daniel Schmachtenberger and Iain Mcgilchrist have the most valuable insights to share on this.

You should interview both of them.

@tsarnick How we can avert extinction and co-create human-biosphere symbiosis.

[Jonathan Davis @JDavis_Protopia]

The big four x-risks (existential and catastrophic risks) are:

- nuclear risk
- biotech risk
- biosphere distruction
- AI risk.

The following is an excellent deep dive into understanding the AI risk landscape.

@marcm_mueller @jakeshieldsajj Bernie Sanders. You didn’t say candidate in this election.

If that’s what you mean I guess there’s Jill Stein.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

There has been a massive redistribution of wealth in America. But it has gone in exactly the wrong direction.

Since 1975, over $50 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% as corporations spend their profits on stock buybacks and dividends.
