14 years ago, @stewartbrand made a prediction: the world population would peak at no more than 8 billion. He was wrong, but the trends he identified as contributing to the eventuality of population decline, like increasing urbanization, remain.

Someone recently labeled me a "dystopian-aware techno-optimist" — and I accept the fit of that shoe.
Thumbing through one of my old books, The Media Lab, by @stewartbrand, I came across this diagram by Nicholas Negroponte, founder of the MIT lab. Can you imagine seeing this in 1979 when it was first conceived? It would have been hard to comprehend it. Incredible foresight.

I first met @johncumbers at NASA (I still want to retire on Mars eating locally grown food), but what's happening now on Earth/at @SynBioBeta is out of this world in its own way. What synthetic bio has done re living things is way ahead of what AI has done re thinking ones.

@paulg @stewartbrand has an excellent essay on this. The way I read it, France was way ahead on precision, and revolted against it out of fear. Eventually it floated around the anglophone sphere then the Industrial Revolution rapidly accelerated it.

Bloody hell! Very important nuance of WW2 history.
Few things turn my stomach more than the treason of the Cambridge spies. Men who had every privilege Britain had to offer them, yet betrayed their country - and, it now seems, helped the Nazis slaughter tens of thousands of allied forces so Russia could dominate Eastern Europe.
Darwin was alarmed by that, yes. Wallace had some wobbly and cranky ideas in his later years. But the courage of his early efforts & the broad impact of his life's work were heroic. The founder of biogeography. The godfather of natural selection.
@NEILBINDAS @DavidQuammen 27th March 1869, Darwin's letter to Wallace: "I hope you have not murdered too completely your own & my child." Wallace backtracked on natural selection being able to explain human evolution & cognition. Makes me feel, we've Darwin to thank for preserving the sanctity of biology.
