It’s absurd that we’ve not priced in the externalities*, as they push our climate over the brink. “Externalities: a side effect/consequence of an industrial/commercial activity that affects other parties without this being reflected in the cost of the goods or services involved.”
I wrote this comment today to point out a way to try to better understand the collective waves of selfishness undermining our global civilization as it seeks to break out of seemingly endless cycles of systemic un-sustainability and self-sabotage. (@jpclark, Founder, @rethinkciv)
A society in which a large percentage of the paying jobs are based on addressing needs caused by systemic problems in that society is not one that will very easily change for the better. @rethinkciv

Such a great conversation I had on Clubhouse today w/ the brilliant AI/futurist legend @dekai123 (thank you!), first guest of our weekly World-Scale Ideas show (Weds, 12pm ET). The show is a program of our new nonprofit, The Global Partnership for Civic Engagement (@rethinkciv)
@ReelQuinn I'm finally paying attention to Twitter (in part because of a recent project I started @newvoterarmy). And am reminded how talented you are from my old FB admiration days. Hope all is well with you.
@timhwang Check out our “Manipulated Reality (MR)” group on Facebook. Core focus: deepfakes. Building on the model of the World Summit on Tech. Unemployment I convened at TIME in 2015 (with Summers, Stiglitz, Reich, etc.), we’re starting to plan a summit on MR.
