Is there an underlying issue here that needs a new term? Context avoidance. Never ask about the relationships between what you are doing and the real world

It's very important that scholars ensure they never have any material impact on the world. Ideally, findings should also be published years after they are relevant to contemporary events.

@novi.xyz I am having huge problems getting British health and social services to understand complexity, although they are regularly using the terms like whole systems, systemic and complex. I am seeing that some people and organisations do understand this, but it is rarer. Help! :-)

Palantir is hand in glove with the Trump administration, which is riddled with Russian assets..

It's likely that any sensitive UK military data the Trump administration gets its hands on will be passed on to Putin.

It's absolutely insane to put Palantir technology at the heart of UK defence.
"Switzerland’s military has terminated its contract with Palantir… following a security audit… concluded that U.S. intelligence agencies could potentially access sensitive Swiss defense data… significant reputational warning for the data analytics firm"

The Local Power Plan is the result of decades of work by the Co-operative Party to put communities at the centre of our energy system.

We’re proud to be working with the Government to launch this scheme and ensure it revolutionises the ownership of renewal energy in the UK.

Do we need to review land law to enable communities to cooperatively together create local community energy and conservation companies that forensically map all energy and mobility needs, agree and implement whole system solutions like in Rotterdam?

Today’s Local Power Plan announcement is the biggest investment in community-owned energy in British history.

Our members have fought for years to put power and profit in community hands. Now that work will shape the future of energy ownership in the UK.⚡️
