Author of You’re Not Crazy, the World Is: How Narcissistic Leaders Have Perverted Morals and Countries - available online everywhere.

We need to move fast on climate and we’re still going in the wrong direction. We cannot get there without social justice and equality - all eco and justice groups need to join forces.

I blog occasionally about how narcissists and other sociopaths are literally driving us off the climate cliff. 1% of the population but they occupy most positions of power….

Not a financial analyst or professional predictor of things but it strikes me that there are quite a few things lining up to potentially make up a Very Bad Time™ for all of us:

- Energy crisis
- Gas crisis
- Fertiliser crisis
- Semiconductor shortage (because of the energy and Helium shortages)
- Plastics shortage
- Food price inflation
- Drugs shortage
- Private debt crisis
- "AI" stock market bubble
- Housing bubble leading to crisis

Welllllll this isn't great.

They can't seem to help themselves with those internal memos 🤯:
"...reported that the company was considering adding facial recognition to its glasses. In an internal memo on the topic, a #Meta employee wrote that the timing to launch might be perfect: "We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.""
