As I am flying home from speaking at @ns conference in Singapore it’s a moment to reflect how far we have all come in under 5 years. So many projects getting government recognition and support. It’s just the beginning! Thanks @balajis @JacksonSteger @donovansung and team. Great to see some familiar network society faces @James_of_Arc @timourxyz @sunbh_eth @peerbase_ and meet some new ones as well @ericweinstein @VitalikButerin . LFG!

🏛️ Government information belongs to everyone. Government documents help us understand how our society works, investigate the past, and participate in democracy. 📚 Democracy's Library brings government publications together so they're easier to discover and use. Find something you want to understand better. Start with the record. 👇 archive.org/details/democrac… #ToolsYouCanUse

Most people don’t have an intelligence problem. They have a problem with how they’re structuring their thinking. In Episode #139, we unpack why being “smart” is less about how much information you know—and more about whether you can organize information, adapt, and respond to feedback from reality. Smart is not a fixed trait. It’s something you practice. Watch now: youtu.be/pAWYcsVjqCw #SystemsThinking #MentalModels #Learning #CabreraLabPodcast

We often describe distraction as a failure of focus, but what if it is also a crisis of meaning? bit.ly/47pk5rA Drawing on decades of research, Gloria Mark explores how our cognitive, emotional, and social capacities are being reshaped by environments that never allow the mind to rest.

Launching Floripa Institute of Technology @tftcxyz joined a group of change makers committed to building Floripa's technology future through a transformational initiative: Floripa Institute of Technology (FIT). Floripa Institute of Technology advances education, advocacy, research, and ecosystem programs that connect Florianópolis with global founders, investors, institutions, and emerging technology networks. Partners include universities, research institutions, investors, government partners, foundations, corporate sponsors and founder communities. Floripa combines quality of life, talent, nature, and an established tech industry with the rare conditions needed to become a founder-friendly hub. FIT exists to translate that potential into durable institutional reality. The founding flagship programs activating the island include: - Floripa DEZ: the regulatory and economic framework for a global founder hub. - Magic Island: a month-long founder activation in Florianópolis, connecting events, calendar, pass, mobility, partners, and the broader Floripa ecosystem into a single coherent experience for global builders. Spaces and hubs that will generate the next wave of wealth and abundance, with a desirable lifestyle and conscious leadership bundle competitive regulatory framework, top education and leadership, and capital access. Beyond Florianópolis, all of our hubs feature this powerful recipe, including: ▶️ Zanzibar: bundling the Zanzibar Digital Free Zone, Zanzalu pop up city, and IIT Madras Zanzibar Campus; ▶️ Honduras: bundling Próspera ZEDE (special economic legislature), with biotech ecosystems like Infinita and funding & startup acceleration programs like Draper University & "Meet the Drapers" program; ▶️ Nigeria: bundling Itana (special economic zone), with Accelerate Africa, an 8-week program accelerating bold and visionary founders building global businesses to solve Africa's biggest challenges. Thanks @palomalecheta and @OceaneXchange for your leadership and opening this opportunity to advance Floripa from a Brazilian best-in-class to a global best-in-class innovation hub.

No one told us in health school that the most important years in a patient's life, the ones that determine whether they die of a preventable disease, happen between their annual check-ups. The standard of care was built for crisis response. It has no architecture for the slow biological drift that precedes every major disease by 10 to 25 years. That gap is where modern medicine needs to operate. And a growing number of physicians are learning how.

This quote is really popular — but most people don’t actually know what it means or how it works. In my Design School webinar on Tuesday, I’m going to explain the science behind it and show how we can apply it in the real world to create a planetary-scale phase transition.

When a handful of firms become the interface between billions of people and our understanding of the world, the risk of epistemic capture becomes material. When AI extends that mediation from what we see to how we reason, the risk becomes existential. At that point, the central question shifts from who gets to build the models to who gets to define reality itself. 🛡️ To make sure that agency stays ours, we need infrastructure that keeps collective sensemaking in human hands ↓ gitcoin.co/research/collecti…
