In our recent gathering, RTP co-founder @jessgroopman.bsky.social offered a different response: treat the current state of our technologies as compost — lived lessons we can break down into better design requirements, healthier incentives, and systems that learn from people and place. 🐛

This clip with our co-founder @jessgroopman.bsky.social brings a question that “scale-first” roadmaps tend to gloss over:

What does a technology need from place in order to earn trust, stay useful, and remain accountable over time?

Imagine a world where technology “could evolve into something that was truly rooted in regenerative principles and in a living systems approach to life…”

@ecoblips.bsky.social reminds us we have the power to build a world like this.

If “technology” is shaping the flows of our world… who is shaping technology?

@jessgroopman.bsky.social offers a long-view definition:

🌀 Technology is “the structuring of the flows of materials, energy, and information to adapt and to thrive.”
