An excerpt from today of dialoguing and drawing with @doynefarmer.bsky.social with ILM Collective.
It was an honour to talk to an elder in science about time, chaos, entropy, emergence, climate change, hope, purpose and AI.

I am at New York climate week, and at a reception put on by @ember-energy.org, who does great work in promoting the green transition. I had the pleasure of riding in an all electric boat built by Flux Marine - it moved silently through the water to the Statue of Liberty and back at an amazing speed!

My summer at @sfiscience.bsky.social is coming to an end. Along with the people, I will miss the views and hiking in the hills. Watching the moonrise from Castle Rock is something to be recommended.

See you again next year!
