Enjoyed your panelists' call for the consideration of ethics and making standard-creation easier, safer, and better. Also, liked the idea of a global consensus-based framework, the need for community. Thanks @StandardsCanada! And happy 50th! #SCC50CCN

@BillGates repeatedly stated POWER, STEEL, and CONCRETE among our must urgent #Sustainability challenges (during @TheEconomist Sustainability Week Virtual Event). He sees the built environment as a critical area for innovation! Our partner @USGBC is on it! #EconSustainability

@dambisamoyo @nytimes While I appreciate your ideas and sentiments in reconsidering economic structures given the pandemic, you are not thinking big enough. The nut that cracks the next world economy is how to distribute wealth without employment.

The AIA Resolution for Urgent and Sustained Climate Action has passed overwhelmingly. It calls for all AIA members worldwide to "exponentially accelerate the decarbonization of buildings, the building sector, and the built environment." iLiv is on it. Stay tuned. @m_raman @USGBC

#PiDay @BuckyFullerInst Buckminster Fuller: I’d learned at school that in order to make a sphere, you employ pi, and I’d also learned that pi is an irrational number. To how many places, I wondered, did nature factor pi? And I reached the decision that nature didn’t use pi.

You don't change the world by solving problems. You change the world by changing the problem.

Hello @tomfriedman I thought you might like to see this: https://t.co/WO4Tn9htl4 I call it Organic Intelligence, as my story about Marvin Minsky and Bach illustrates. Cheers.

This is pretty good thinking. It shows an intelligent mind at work trying to solve the puzzle of marketing true innovation. I’m kind of envious that @Stewart had the time and mandate to think this way. https://t.co/9vbVy6FxiF

"But the deeper reason that technology so often disappoints and betrays us is that it promises to make easy things that, by their intrinsic nature, have to be hard." @BretStephensNYT nails the essence of technology's failure, but worse, it also makes hard what once was easy.
