An excellent piece about the links between collapse and complexity. Obviously focuses more on socio-economics systems. Still some of it applies to other fields.
Good points of the problem with nudge backed "policies"... they're pretty completely avoiding to address the difficult political questions.
You think you don't use power on others? Think again, this can be more subtle than you think. Keep it in mind, be mindful and try to use your advantages fairly.
A good reminder on how science and politics are more intertwined than we'd like to believe. It also shows why trying to have politics determined only by science brings its own set of biases in itself and can only lead to killing any form of debate or compromises.
Nice extracts with comments about finding joy in your (work) life or not. Two paths really... which one are you on?
Too bad this is stretching a bit too far on the politics side (although it's not unjustified, I think it muddies the initial message in this context).

As usual with Zeynep Tufekci a mind bending article about the heuristics one might use at times when official institutions are simply trying to lie to your face and when they switch to authoritarian mode. This is indeed times when it becomes very hard to trust information and make sense of the world... how to overcome that? Well there are a few examples in that article.

EN: For once a step in the right direction the creation of this mission. It goes in the right direction indeed but let's hope it'll be respected.
