Before holidays, read the latest version of @jrockstrom et al.’s Earth System Boundaries.
What’s new: Scientists quantified not only safe but also what's a just operating space for humankind. For several boundaries, just space is smaller than the safe. https://t.co/cBeyqkV4ai
A young Kurdi woman #MashaAmini died in Iran to her wounds due to the beating by the Iran's moral police.
Other Iranian women are showing they are done with the dictator regime and there are large demonstrations.
I wish them strength and safety.
Masha Amini has become the name of REVOLUTION in Iran.
Iranian women show their anger by cutting their hair and burning their hijab to protest against the killing of
Masha Amini by police.

Happy #DemocracyDay! Developing democracy seems to be either about defending democracy or adding participation. We have other suggestions.

Want to spur social imagination, but missing the ‘how’? @geoffmulgan’s book Another World is Possible is out - ‘we need to renew our sense of what is possible and imagine the future creatively, openly and practically - This book is full with ideas of how to do so' @RebeccaReCap
Theo Cox (@forlifeitself) and Prof @geoffmulgan argue that technology may have the potential to transform governance, but the example of Web 2.0 shows that this is far from certain. Ensuring fringe innovations realise their potential requires two things: https://t.co/paWhNEgrEK
Technology can help transform governance, but this has not yet happened. Only when disasters like misinformation, democratic corrosion and tech monopolies came to be, people started to understand the need for tech to create options for the future...

As digital data is a relatively new phenomenon, it is fruitful to consider the implications of treating it as we do the more established parts of our economic and social systems, such as labour, oil, and currency. That what @ATARCA_EU asked to do at Untitled Festival 2021.
"What if we looked at data as we do at water, oil, or currency?", asked @ATARCA_EU at Untitled Festival 2021 to surface challenges and new questions about the position of data in our current economic paradigms and societies, and what it means for anti-rival economic thinking.
“Demos Helsinki is unlike any other internship experience. The think tank is built on trust and, as an intern, you work with a high-level of autonomy right from the start.” - a former intern.
