(Editor’s note: I’ve had a busy travel week. This week’s newsletter will be succinct.)
Heart-Centered Thinking: The murder of Alexei Navalny has left me deeply troubled–and it should you as well. In this piece, “Navalny: A Hero Worth Emulating,” I make the case that Navalny is a hero we should all strive to emulate. I hope your freedom is something all of you spend a few minutes thinking about this week. Remember: Freedom isn’t free.
Think Again: Still think artificial intelligence isn’t going to change the world quickly? Time to think again! Checkout this video–AI Generated Videos Just Changed Forever.
Think Fast: The advances in camera and satellite technology are getting frighteningly good. This quote from this article says it all, “Satellites will be able to watch you everywhere all the time.”
Think Big: As if artificial intelligence and creepy satellites aren’t enough, the world is about to get crazier. As this piece explains, we are entering a golden age of engineering biology.
Think the Unthinkable: For my many farmer friends, I give you this article: Potassium depletion in soils threatens crop yields.
Afterthought: “The very act of thinking about how certain you are about something makes you think about what you might be missing.” –Steven Johnson
