The more we progress, the greater the risk of a devolution into a #DimAge Already, our own #technology is growing too complex for us to understand or manage, and scales up faster than our own understanding can keep up.

In todays’ world, transport choke points are unavoidable, a feature of an unsustainable, #globalized world.

The #RedSea passage #BabElMandab is one of those, critical because of the #MiddleEast's central importance to the world's #EnergyEconomy

The push to #JustStopOil at #cop28 illustrates the ignorance of physical limits of some in #Climate negotiations.

Designers build a system, mindful of the physical limits of our world. Non-Engineers often forgets reality; just the outcome matter

Agree to the rich world's desired outcome, before building the systems that made it rich? You get one form #CarbonColonialism

Then again, too much of a system focus, you get the excesses of the gilded age.

A real #SmartCity starts from the Bottom-Up. Think of a town with 3 circles; a circle of control, influence, and concern.

With new Technologies & Common sense, we can have more control, more influence, & fewer concerns. #sustainability starts with the home, not the city, not the state.

I explore the rationale in my book, but that's the "cliff notes version"
