What if most Aliens exist as Dark matter? What if we as intelligent life is unexpected compared to Dark matter which is ~85% of the mass of the Universe? These are some of the questions that @hankgreen.bsky.social gets me thinking about with his Humans podcast.

@hankgreen.bsky.social ohh and regarding Andry Weir saying he's got Hank Greenism... You two are both very high in the Light Triad of Humanism, Kantianism and Faith in Humanity. nrp.greyphoenix.biz#Hank%20Green That's why you have a podcast you literally call "Humans". Which is awesome 😎

@hankgreen.bsky.social in your Humans podcast episode with Andy Weir you come across as somewhat pessimistic we can do something about Climate Change. The Terraformer One terraformindustries.wordpress.com/2023/06/26/t... seems like a great example of using renewables to extract CO2

Using Solar panels and some water (which could optionally be extracted from the atmosphere at the same time) to extract carbon from the atmosphere and turn it into natural gas and turn gas into a closed loop. Store away the excess from the atmosphere and the rest is now a closed loop

Granted you might be extracting the C02 in the deserts of Australia and the Middle East where the abundance of solar is. But that could Green the deserts with the shade.

@hankgreen.bsky.social can you add an ETA of when the next 4x3 is going to be released? It should be something I can see on the page like a countdown, once I've completed the puzzle. This would be easier than sending an active browser notification to potentially 100k+ people.

Wait, does it reset at midnight my local time? It's not a global reset like in LinkedIn? That'll be why I'm getting confused.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I'm working on something that can help with a bunch of the things you are covering in your latest video about Scientific Papers. Myself and a friend have spent hundreds of hours working out a 300+ page framework for what you are getting at. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDfs...

It's a new way of displaying info about Scientific Theories. We call it ATLAS. I'd love to tell you more, but we aren't quite ready for publicity yet. I also doubt you'd want to be a part of the internal review team as it might consume a full day or two of your time.

Cards, Cables Concrete. This is my mental model for thinking about how hard something is to change. It's similar to the Hats, Haircuts, Tattoos concept for how long you'll have to deal with something. Let me know your thoughts.

The example of moving countries demonstrates high agency because it requires: - Navigating complex immigration processes - Building a new life from scratch - Handling uncertainty and challenges independently - Taking significant calculated risks

People with high agency tend to have better outcomes because they actively work to create opportunities rather than passively accepting their circumstances. Me: Can you explain it in 10 words or less? Answer: Taking initiative to actively shape your life and circumstances.

Me: Explain the term agency, in how a person can take initiative. Claude’s Answer: Agency refers to a person’s capacity and willingness to take independent action to shape their circumstances. Someone with high agency:

- Makes things happen rather than waiting for opportunities - Takes responsibility for their situation rather than blaming external factors - Actively seeks solutions to problems and overcomes obstacles - Sets goals and takes concrete steps to achieve them
