    • talk Jan 27th, 2026 cofounder of Dark Matter Labs.
    • Ref Sarah Walker talk.
    • Degenerative volatility
      • climate breakdown, AMOC loss. His volatility frame is something I've been saying more or less.
      • ecological breakdown --> social contract breakdown
      • new technologies (centralizing power and challenging the human)
    • OK I know this...
    • fires in moscow – fertilizer exports stopped --> food riots
    • New Zealand strategies (isolation) don't work
    • What we are trying to preserve: the capacity of the planet to be self-aware.
    • planetary optionality vs actually preserving the particular state of affairs (? I think)
    • I'm finding this talk annoying. Too high level and stuff I already know. What's his new ideas or proposals?
    • Some nods to ex-sititutions and other ways of organizing, but nothing very concrete.
    • "Markov blankets" hm well at least that sounds like something. (I have a feeling he's misusing the term Markov blanket - Wikipedia )
    • "prophecy lab" "engineering deep attractors"
