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.

💡 What does a Postgrowth City look like?
Last week, Architectenweb, Crimson Historians & Urbanists, BURA organized a symposium in Pakhuis de Zwijger in which city makers, designers and other professionals came together, all of whom are looking in their own way for ways to achieve more sustainable, social and fairer urban developments. It was a very successful afternoon, full of energy, reflection and hopeful perspectives for a truly better world.
Our perspective, presented by our Director Sophie Bloemen, is that we need a postgrowth city and the community economy - an economy that values people, the community and the planet at its core. She presented the Manifesto for a Caring Economy, emphasizing the need for non-extractive business models and a shift from measuring our economy through GDP towards well-being and overalll welfare.
In Amsterdam, we’re bringing this vision to life. Together with diverse partners, we’ve set up an Incubator for the Community Economy, MeentCoop, supporting initiatives like neighborhood cooperatives, urban agriculture, and food coops.

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....

Hacking growth!
Recapture the concept of growth by reformulating it as ecological growth, containing expansion and contraction, and a clear focus on ecosystem regeneration
