  • Tendency to want to get in the weeds and do the work. The real job of an exec is managing people, and anything that distracts from that make the company worse.

    For example, I knew a founder who skipped a meeting with potential investors because there was a bug he was figuring out. He fixed the problem, and he did it better than any other employees could have, but that's not where he was needed.

  • "Alarm bells ringing" as report finds greenhouse gas emissions growing faster than ever
  • our dependency on fossil fuels hasn't changed

    What is this crap? EVs are all over the place and so is renewable energy. Emmissions are falling. We haven't opened a new coal plant in a generation.

    And ok, we keep driving emissions down, what about biodiversity loss across the planet? How many plants and animals are currently on the brink of extinction?

    Ok? It's bad and we're working to fix it. That's very different than "we're all doomed and should stop doing anything".

    Where is the international agreement to help modernize these countries with renewable energies? Who's going to pay for it?

    THIS is the grifter bullshit. "Don't bother acting, it's too late". Fossil fuel doomer propaganda.

  • Oh neat! I'm checking them out now. I especially like the podcast, I've been getting deep into podcasts recently.

    I never understood why some people are so gung-ho about podcasts until I started listening to a couple of good ones. It's like the TVTropes effect, you're listening to a good podcast and then they have a guest on who also has their own podcast so you start listening to them, and then it snowballs...

    One podcast I recently found is called Climate Now and it's a great briefer on the nuts and bolts of climate policy and actions.
