Because it's Kim Stanley Robinson, the snippets that get in from "The Ministry for the Future" are unsparing and accurate. https://t.co/iJDjF6rPQ2 https://t.co/V95MWi1Cl8

@OlufemiOTaiwo A more sophisticated rationale, available in paperback: "The Enigma of Reason," @hugoreasoning & Dan Sperber. My current top read on climate change & how to solve it. If I were teaching cc, which I do, I'd start here, which I will. @DoctorVive @jg_environ @michaelvandenb6 https://t.co/vgVx33IsjN

@owasow Albion's Seed is worth the read if you have not already. Colin Woodard's book American Nations is pretty good too, but Albion's Seed is more substantial. https://t.co/TMECQujT0T
