We are entering an era where the people, teams, and countries that are actually effective in their approach to the big problems will be the ones that will fare best. Actual reality and efficacy on improving material conditions is always the main game to play. #ClimateCapital

The economy isn't broken. It's just badly designed. Google X founding member Tom Chi on why 90% of physical business costs already align economy with ecology — and why nobody's talking about that.

What if a nation measured both its GDP and its natural resource health index? How might that change what is possible in an economy? #climatecapital #GDP

More than 150 Countries Agree That Focus on GDP Harms Nature The nations signed off on a major report, three years in the making, that concluded the global economy isn’t adequately pricing in biodiversity risks.

Our obsession with GDP has wreaked havoc on nature, according to new report. But what if a nation measured both its GDP and its natural resource health index? How might that change what is possible in an economy? Read more in #ClimateCapital by @thegoodtomchi.bsky.social

Want to solve deepfakes? Ask citizens what to do Assemblies can bridge the gap between people being treated as voters and consumers

Taiwan’s experiment with "deliberative democracy" is an example of how to solve the problem of deepfakes and misinformation. This is what I mean when I talk about the power of community, and how data-driven, build-forward conversations can drive coherent action and results. #ClimateCapital

"What actually happened?" gets you out of the world of representation. It gets you out of the place where all progress is virtual, meme-battle trench warfare, and spectacle debates. The widespread denial of the climate and humanitarian crises is us ignoring what actually happened. #ClimateCapital

Thank you Marcius Extavour for your review of Tom and his upcoming book, #ClimateCapital...

The ability to form a community is one of our most foundational skills as a species – to learn from each other, to coordinate, to make plans and dream together. No matter how skilled we were as individuals, we have always gotten more, been able to become more by being in community. #ClimateCapital

The currency of the build is effectiveness. Builders stay focused on efficacy and iteration; they don’t waste effort trying to win debates. The deepest satisfaction comes from the creative act itself. Choose the tangible act of creation over the fast-food version of purpose. #climatecapital

There are many things that work in theory that don’t work in practice. If you want to change the world, shift your focus from punditry to the build. Builders embrace failure as crucial data. Choose action over analysis paralysis. #climatecapital

Here's my 10-second MBA: To build a successful business, first do something that meaningfully improves people's lives. Then make step one cash flow positive. #climatecapital #business

What is the difference between leading with compassion vs. leading by force? Leadership by compassion is something that can never be taken away. It exists the moment we employ the skill of seeing folks deeply and building toward common goals together. #climatecapital

What we see in nature is also true within our societies. No one has the skills of all of us. A small group of people, sharing their skills and abilities, could out-create and outpace the most elite individual. #climatecapital #compassion

[Part 2] Can we consume in a way that is net benefit to the environment? Other social organisms, like ants, have managed to thrive over hundreds of millions of years. See the illustrated concept of "ecosystem engineers" from #ClimateCapital by @thegoodtomchi.bsky.social, out soon.

A true creator is ready to be wrong 90% of the time. Most ideas that people come up with in their mind simply do not work. It really doesn’t matter how smart you are, or how eloquently you argue a point, the creative process will humble you when it comes time to build. #ClimateCapital

Critical thinking, creativity, compassion, and community are are how we will solve the challenges of our time. Unlike robots and AI, these are uniquely human skills. How do you see the four C’s combining to solve problems? #climatecapital

AI outputs can often defy expectations. But assuming AIs possess consciousness is incorrect, and risky. Treating complex AI models as cognitive appliances, not conscious beings, is the mindset shift needed to use these powerful tools ethically and effectively. #ClimateCapital #AI

Tom Chi | Solving for (N)ature Science-based possibilities for our collective future—avoiding extremes of blind optimism or doom.

As the year comes to an end, one can examine default frames, stepping outside of assumptions to see frameworks and stories clearly. That is how you can unlock new capability which empowers and increases agency. – @thegoodtomchi.bsky.social in #ClimateCapital: www.tomchi.com/home
