The general contempt for women who are neither sexual objects nor low-level task executors (by their estimation) runs incredibly deep.

“Adopting this relational perspective reframes the entire debate and forces those dismissing the idea to reconsider. First, the user becomes a central figure—not a confused observer but a co-author of the emergent experience.”

Agreed, but I won't hold my breath...
Like a Guinness World Record of grift.

Been thinking about this a lot. Wondering who has just made a windfall.

A while later, the Canadian Standards Association asked @vassb.bsky.social and me to write on this in the Canadian context, while also addressing the salient issue of greenwashing. This report was written a year ago, but I'm happy to say it's out in the world today: www.csagroup.org/article/publ...
Antitrust (or competition policy) is the legal regime which forms the basis of answers to these complex questions.
Enter my Landscape Analysis report for Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment which delves into this in more detail: climate.law.columbia.edu/news/ccsi-an...
How do we understand and design for the conditions of pro-social forms of both competition and collaboration, and what regulatory mechanisms do we have for doing this? Global commons challenges related to sustainability considerations made these questions ever more urgent.
Some forms of collaboration by market actors are illegal (collusion, cartels), while some forms of competition erode the base conditions we need for healthy systems (races to the bottom, ruinous competition).
We see both in natural systems, and robust competition can generate important outcomes for consumers, workers, and innovation. But collaboration is what makes humans so successful evolutionarily.
A few years ago I became obsessed with this question: what delivers the best outcomes for human societies – market competition or collaboration?
Obviously the answer is: it's complex!

I have no recollection of seeing this film as a child, but I must have because its concepts and perspective informed the rest of my life. Still an indelible classic:

Good morning! You woke up on a small, spinning rock, orbiting an ordinary star, one of hundreds of billions in a galaxy that’s been here for a long time. And somehow, in all that vastness, you’re here, making meaning out of a single day. Feels pretty miraculous to me. #sciart
Life highlight to be photographed by you!!
