The Unbearable Banality of COP29


A short video but very interesting. Not surprising, but from the heart of COP29 it's a comment about the absence of curiosity among all the 'nice' people there. Well worth watching.

Yes, that's quite revealing. If the intention is to signal your virtue rather than get anything done, then you won't get that rapid trying out of different approaches and testing of hypotheses. There's no need.

Necessity is the mother of invention, and the fact that these people are not inventive shows that there's no necessity.

Sam - it seems to attract a certain type of person we've all met, enthusiastic but not at all willing to doubt the basis of their enthusiasm.
