Something I’ve learned: never trust my initial emotional response to challenging feedback. It comes from the little kid inside me who can’t stand to disappoint a grownup.

Can we ban the word “slathered”? Just get rid of it. Don’t look back.

Linear modeling and thinking got us here, and it will keep us here if we let it.

You know those estimates we economists produce of the damages caused by climate change? They don’t include the costs of more global conflicts. We can’t figure out how to credibly put them in monetary terms so we pretend they’re zero. Our bad. https://twitter.com/revkin/status/1173562169058836482

I'm not saying it's a perfect method - far from. But I do think it provides some level of burnout-resistance.

And I'm curious what other mechanisms we might to use to withstand more exposure to the emotional radiation of this thing.

My climate crisis superpower: being a reasonably compassionate and sensitive person who nevertheless disassociates when things get gnarly (thanks goldilocks-level childhood trauma!). So I stay engaged most of the time, and withdraw into my safety shell as needed.

If I didn’t know that @irinimalliaraki@twitter.com was a real person who does real (and fascinating) work, I wouldn’t be able to tell if this thread were referencing real or fictional events. I had no idea anything like this was happening.

Lately, I can't stop thinking about blockchain experiments in the context of special economic zones (areas in which the business and trade laws are different from the rest of the country such as free-trade zones, industrial parks, free-ports
Bonded logistics parks etc) /1

God help me I'm linking to @DouthatNYT@twitter.com. One of the most effective ways to divert scrutiny from a truly problematic or corrupt state of affairs is to associate it with cranks. But just because there are crank-ish theories doesn't mean there's no there there https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/13/opinion/jeffrey-epstein-suicide.html
