We have an economy where the buck is passed around and around and around until—poof!—it disappears. And so companies reflect the values of no one. Not employees. Not customers. Not even shareholders.

The world creates moments when philosophy matters.

250 years ago, America's founders turned philosophy into law.

Today, our revolutionary AI moment demands translating philosophy into code, to promote human flourishing.

The Cosmos Institute launches to tackle this challenge:

[Adriel Saporta @ARSaporta]

I'm honored to be an advisor to @askalphaxiv and am beyond proud of @rajpalleti314 and @rehaanahmad171 for building a platform and product that we've needed for a long, long time.

Let the conversations begin!

[Michael O'Leary @thisismichaelo]

Excited to see our piece out today in @FortuneMagazine: "How climate technology forgot the consumer is still king."

Consumers like sustainability, but they abhor a trade-off. We've got to offer products that outperform on more than just impact.

Proud to share that former @SchmidtFutures fellow @zweinberg is launching ex/ante (@buildexante) - the first-ever venture fund dedicated to agentic tech: technology that advances individuals’ agency and control—over their privacy, data, assets, and information.

[Alex Konrad @alexrkonrad]

News: ex/ante, an unusual VC fund focused on "agentic tech" and subjects like disinformation, surveillance and online privacy, has launched with a $33M debut fund.

Led by 32-year-old Zoe Weinberg, ex/ante is a spinout of Eric Schmidt's Schmidt Futures.

Does ESG investing matter? Is it counterproductive? Great to see this profile in Stanford Business Magazine of our work back at Engine No. 1 and in Accountable draw out this tension between the "opportunity and uncertainty in the booming ESG market"

"In the 2019 proxy season not a single climate related proposal passed. 3 passed last year and 11 passed this year. I think it shows that climate is becoming a big issue for investors." Managing Director @EngineNo_1 @thisismichaelo #SustainableBizSummit

[Zoe Weinberg @zweinberg]

Manifest destiny has officially reached the metaverse. Just published an op-ed on what geopolitics will look like in the metaverse.

The 2021 proxy season saw unprecedented shareholder interest in ESG proposals. How can companies better communicate commitments and progress to investors? @Bloomberg Intelligence's @rduboff discusses with @EngineNo_1 @thisismichaelo https://t.co/E2hz2VgbFw #SustainableBizSummit
