There is a 3rd alternative. All big cities make a pact to cooperate and never give tax deductions etc. I think this is one of the ideas of the fearless cities movement : http://fearlesscities.com/en/book This is one of

Cement is one of the bigger unknown problems in the world regarding climate change. I think we can make a huge improvement by creating carbon negative concrete. There are couple of different ways to create carbon negative concrete, but they

Thanks and interesting article. I think we're slowly starting to see that more and more processes (not just diseases) are related to different complex interaction between our immune system and pathogens and or even our own body. I thin

The cool thing is, now that they are paying for the extra carbon pollution it pays to try to mitigate these types of issues. The less carbon dioxide they pollute the better it is for their bottom line

Too bad they are not available in Amsterdam. This is the kind of thing that would make me use lyft instead of something else. I wish more products would be carbon neutral or negative. I also liked stripe's move and I think slowly more

Thanks for your comment. I've got Metzinger's book on my shelf so thanks for the reminder to read it :). I must admit I have similar ideas about the self, I am currently inclined to believe that it is indeed an illusion but have n

That was a very interesting presentation. Great work, is there any way to follow this (besides following your wok on clasp)? You mentioned carbon dioxide. Do you have some ideas about molecular motors and creating solid carbon out of carbon

I can't find the specific paper(s) right now but a simple tip I also follow is to stand and then sit again (or walk a bit) every 30 minutes. This greatly decreases your risk to cardiovascular diseases. It works since you thoroughly pum

I feel like Yuval Noah Harari is spot on with dataism emerging as the new dominant inter-subjective truth. Go and read Homo Deus, you will not be disappointed. The idea of dataism will slowly replace our current humanistic ideas of liberty&

Yes, there are some papers that suggest that adding graphene-like elements to for example concrete will make them stronger. I think that if we can find a carbon neutral process of creating graphene it could be a great additive and a carbon

Why dispose them? They’re a great carbon sink and as long as we don’t make short graphene chains I think they’re also not toxic for the environment. The process described uses methane (greenhouse gas) and if the process would be done with r

What if we made HEPA filters in cars mandatory in such a way that every car ‘clears out’ the smog it creates plus some extra (won’t help for all the coal burning). We could then throw out/recycle the filters once in a while and at leas
