A community with clean water from a living watershed, sustainable yield from a healthy fishery, and nutrition from living soil is wealthier in every meaningful sense than one that extracted all three for short-term cash. #RegenerativeEconomy

I walked through #Florence once and the whole city felt like an argument I couldn't counter.
It's built from sustainable materials. It's still standing after 2,000 years. And it's one of the most beautiful places on earth. Nobody sacrificed comfort or beauty to build it. They just built with what the land could support and what time could hold.
Tom Chi — Google X founding member, inventor of 77 patents, and now a venture capitalist betting on a regenerative economy — had the same experience. It became the seed of his new book, #Climate Capital: Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future.
We spent an hour talking about what that means in practice. A few things that stayed with me: 90% of the cost structure of physical businesses already aligns economic and ecological goals. Less material used = lower costs + less extraction. Less energy = lower processing costs + fewer emissions. The economy and the planet are already pointing the same direction. The 5% that isn't aligned is what the lobbyists fight about — which is why that's all we ever hear.
And then the phrase I can't shake: cognitive despoiling. We spent the 20th century strip mining the physical resources of the planet. Tom thinks we're spending the 21st century strip mining the cognitive resources of humanity — burning through attention, trust, and clear thinking the same way we burned through forests and rivers. The damage is invisible. But it compounds.
This is not a doom-and-gloom conversation. It's a design conversation. And the design problem, Tom argues, is solvable.

The Duality of Violence: Capitalism’s Role in Systemic Harm
Jan 12, 2025
:earth: 🌱 :earth: 🌱This essay examines the hidden, systemic harms of institutionalized violence and the visible consequences of desperate individual actions.
The assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has once again brought America’s healthcare crisis to the forefront. Luigi Mangione, charged with murder at the state and federal levels, was arrested with a ghost gun and a manifesto in his possession. There is no doubt the gun will be used as evidence by prosecutors. The manifesto, and the public’s reaction to the killing, will present a challenge for the state. As it should.

Below is a statement I prepared and read at the December 19, 2024, Board of Selectmen meeting in the Town of Easton, Connecticut. A video of the statement, and the entire meeting, will be available shortly.
“Deny Defend Depose”
I am here for all of us, even though I only have my own story.
For 22 years, I’ve been a Type One diabetic. For 22 years I’ve fought insurance companies to get the medication that I need to be here tonight alive. I am one of the lucky ones living here in EASTON with neighbors like you. But recently, I spent time in front of the pharmacy counter, explaining that if I didn’t take home insulin, I would die. Corporate interests prioritized their rebate scheme over my life
This statement was conceived on my way home today in a rush to get to insulin that would not clog my insulin pump. A new flank in a 22-year battle against for-profit healthcare.
I didn’t quite make it to Manor Lane before I had to pull over on Sport Hill Parkway to vomit from high blood sugar. Sorry to disturb you, neighbors, but the privilege of living in towns like Easton also comes with responsibilities to those that, frankly, never stood a chance of making it here.
Deny defend depose.
When marketing and advertising firms make up terms like “natural gas“ to mask the scary reality of methane so big oil can put in pipelines by our beloved Mill River and schools.
Deny defend depose.
When Donald Trump makes up lies about immigrants....

Finance shapes the world, but how can we redirect it to support nature? 🌿 I enjoyed Tim Smedley's article, which explores the gap between the trillions spent on activities that degrade ecosystems and the limited funds going toward protecting them.
I'm also reading his book, "The Last Drop", which offers valuable insights for anyone passionate about safeguarding their local watershed. Highly recommend for those looking to make a difference!

A new book argues that a capitalist-socialist hybrid economy is inevitable and desirable. The author, John Fullerton, says that the current system of capitalism is unsustainable and harmful to people and the planet. He proposes a regenerative economy that respects the limits of nature and promotes social justice.
