Can't help but think that spending your life protecting a forest has to be one of the most beautiful and important legacies.

I got my first computer in 1982. Ever since then I've been hearing how computers will make us more efficient (I've certainly argued this), all the while as stress-related illnesses have been exploding. Who in your mind has done good research and analysis of this disagreement?
An interesting thing about 'free' ad-financed services online is that their main competition is not stuff that costs money but rather other free activities; things like taking a walk in nature, talking to a friend, or sleeping.

"With support from the Pulitzer Center, this two-part article is based on 18 months of reporting and well over a hundred interviews. It tracks the efforts of a small group of American scientists, activists and politicians to raise the alarm and stave off catastrophe. It will come as a revelation to many readers — an agonizing revelation — to understand how thoroughly they grasped the problem and how close they came to solving it."
"The climate scientist James Hansen has called two-degree warming “a prescription for long-term disaster.” Long-term disaster is now the best-case scenario."

I enjoyed the interview with Barack Obama, and especially the segment with John Lewis, reminding us once again how instigating change is always accompanied by pushback and discomfort (and in Lewis’ case being on the receiving end of violence) - because there are always powerful people benefitting from the status quo. I’m thinking that more of us could use some practice in being and feeling uncomfortable, in order for us to better push for what we believe is right.

A must-watch about our responsibilities in the face of climate change (interview in English).
On ”the lifeboat of the elite”. A lot of harm to the human race can probably be explained by some of the insights from this article. theguardian.com/technology/201…
I just made a one-off contribution to @guardian - wishing there was a centralized way off more easily contributing one-off payments to various editorial teams I support. This was pretty straight-forward though. support.theguardian.com/eu/contribute

”Men när det handlar om böcker och film har vi knäckt koden för länge sen och kan utan vidare förstå att en films eller boks värde i undervisningen bestäms av dess innehåll i relation till uppställda mål och hur den används i undervisningen.”

@davegray Yes, the theory is though that a person goes through about 4-8 of these cycles in a lifetime. I've been cocooning for years now =)
