From everything I can tell, there is no making it through, let alone coming back from, this impending extinction event without “technology” that decouples life from the carbon cycles on this planet.
This Is Where I’m at Too.

A great framework for delegating work or encouraging a team member to identify and own new work:
Challenge people to operate at the next level and promise support for them taking on that challenge.
Example: someone says that they are identifying a problem that is a bit of a stretch for them to carve out or solve.
You can identify it as a challenge for them and offer it to them _as a challenge_ that they can accept.
And you should communicate that you will _support_ them taking on that challenge (and how you'll support them).

Ultimately, I decided not to, and developed the idea that I should identify the lessons I didn’t want to learn from life, and simply choose not to learn them. My intent was not necessarily to evaluate whether a certain lesson was true or false in a given context, rather that there are certain lessons that are true in some scenarios, but learning them forms a limiting belief. Limiting belief, founded on a circumstantially true lesson, can change the slope of your future in unpleasant ways.
