How to Build an Impactful (and Unconventional) Career in Global Security Today, I gave a workshop at the student union at Leiden University College on building a career in global security. The audience was mostly graduate students.

Speaking to a class halfway around the world about how to make positive change in their communities is a fantastic way to start the week!

Getting to do this is a privilege.

Here are some reflections I wrote a few weeks ago about my career that might be relevant.

That might be an issue on indigenous land, and when it comes to required electricity & commd infrastructure, which might affect natural resources that local communities and historic ways of life depend on. It will have to get figured out politically w. Respect for rights & dignity, not just capital.

My prediction for upcoming elections in Europe is that they're going to have to be a lot more focused on data centers - including their impact on energy & water policy, employment, where they're built, national security and digital sovereignty.

Or is music getting better, and we're getting older, and music discovery systems getting AI-slopified and thus we may be less well equipped to find the good music and need to consciously develop our processes of discovery and curation to find the good music?

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

How governments have tried to hide information about the Iran war online Governments are blocking the internet, banning social media posts and cutting access to commercial satellite images. But experts say that efforts to censor information have had mixed results.
