Quoting from Facebook:

Valentine #Stockdale - www.facebook.com/tovalentine

I had a VERY uncomfortable experience yesterday. I went to a screening of the National #Emergency Briefing...
...a collection of professors and experts briefing the government around key subject areas pertaining to UK national #security.
The focus was the decline of #nature, the #climate #catastrophe and what's coming in the #UK: total societal collapse and #famine.
In summary, 24 years from now in the United Kingdom, #agriculture will have become functionally impossible.
By 2050, the ambient UK #temperature is now predicted to be -20 degrees, and -30 in Scotland.
Most people don't realise:
1. Scotland sits at the same latitude (distance from the equator) as central Siberia, one of the coldest inhabited places on Earth.
2. The UK is only #habitable because of the #GulfStream, which is predicted to collapse by 2050 when the #AMOC collapses.
.....I gathered all the data about the destruction of nature, but not from the data aggregators like the UN or WWF, since they are widely considered suspect.
Instead, I went to the grassroots movements: the charities, non-profits and NGOs on the ground that gather the data by hand.
It took me a couple of days but I visited all their websites independently and built up the big picture in pieces.
.....
we don't actually need the National Hurricane Centre to tell us that hurricanes are perpetually intensifying. ...
In 10 years in this industry, I've heard every stupid argument about why climate change isn't real, ....
And you know who is always sitting behind those bullshit claims? I've checked.
It's the industrial giants that want politicians to believe that mining, fracking, tilling and pesticides are the way forward.
.....
We urgently need people to shift professions. If you are an accountant or web designer, or maker of jewellery...
...we really need you in regenerative agriculture or designing or spearheading new climate and food security initiatives.

Wolfmother – Rock’n’Roll Baby
(Retro-Rock, Stoner Rock, Psychedelic Rock / V2)
by Der Riedinger

Neben dem #Stockdale’schen Wunsch nach einer ungeschliffen klingenden Platte, interpretiere ich in „Rock’n’Roll Baby“ noch die Verneigung von #Wolfmother vor all ihren großen Vorbildern und Wegbereiter*Innen rein. Mach‘ ich einfach so, ganz ohne KI! Kiss, Black Sabbath, Led Zep, Whitesnake, Cream, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC undundund.

The Stockdale Paradox: A Lesson on how to deliver a hard project

The Stockdale paradox is a fascinating thing, but to paraphrase it for a corporate project point of view: While you're going to hit your delivery in the end

Here's a short piece reflecting on whether the "Stockdale paradox" really is a paradox, and if so, why and for who it would be

Balancing Optimism With Realism - Practical Rationality - Medium

Some time back, I was interviewed by a reporter who was writing about the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, what resources Stoic philosophy can contribute, and what has come to be termed the “Stockdale…

Drie Boeken over Hoop - Jan van den Berg

Boek 1 Ik las ooit met mijn teams een boek over hoe je ons type werk beter kan doen. Een van de mantra’s die steeds terugkwam was: hope is not a strategy. Je kan niet hopen dat je niet gehackt wordt of dat de systemen het allemaal wel uithouden of dat klanten wel zullen snappen […]
