Robert Earl Sinclair is a Future Architect & Speculative World-Builder striving to make sense of our rapidly changing world and co-create bold futures. Born in "the hood" of Los Angeles and challenged with dyslexia, Robert became a successful international hip-hop recording artist in his teens and went on to graduate from the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Now, this multicultural, classically trained artist, actor and writer uses storytelling to activate the idea that if something is broken, we can fantasize about what it looks like unbroken, and that exercise, in and of itself, can help us to find our way to a solution. This is speculative world-building. In this pursuit, Robert's dyslexia has become an asset, because dyslexic people experience information as story and possess a much higher retention of facts which allows Robert, a voracious reader, to draw from a vast store of resources and disciplines. Dedicated to beauty, justice and inclusive imagination, Robert designs at the crossroads of art, culture and technology and has created original content and world-building workshops for: NYU, Google Creative Lab, Sundance Film Festival, The Guggenheim, the Rockefeller Foundation, Pop Culture Collaborative, The Doris Duke Foundation and For Freedoms, where he co-created For Freedoms News and its month-long residency at the Brooklyn Museum. Robert is an original member of the Guild of Future Architects' celebrated Futurist Writers Room, a diverse community of visionary artists, intellectuals, engineers and technologists. Working with Dot Connector Studio, Robert is working to shape alternative economic models of sustainability and thrivability for everyone. Most recently, Robert has  lectured at USC's School of Cinematic Arts and the ASU Center for Science and the Imagination. He is currently teaching Emergent Expressions at the Harvard Divinity School.Have a Swan Dive to share?

Subscribe, Rate, & Review on YouTube • Spotify • Apple PodcastsThis week's guest is my friend and inspiration, knowledge ecologist Christina Bowen. If I were to try and start a movement, I would call her first. Christina is CEO and co-founder of socialroots.io, an NSF- and Omidyar Network-funded software platform for cross-group collaboration that promotes aligned action and helps teams communicate legible impact metrics to stakeholders. Or, in the parlance of our times, she is a master of negotiating the complexities of human communication and community.She has deep, lived experience of what it takes to subvert the toxic status quo, cultivate the health of teams, and rethink our “social” spaces so they actually work for human beings. She also introduced me to the world of “mycopunk”, an earthier and more distributed alternative to solarpunk that places more priority on our relationships and narrative construction as an inherently collective project. This is a warm and grounded dialogue with someone I respect immensely as a force for betterment. Here is how her team describes their work and principles on their own website:Our greatest challenges as a global civilization will require an unprecedented amount of cooperation and may have been caused in large part by unmitigated competition. We have founded Socialroots on a few key principles, summarized below, to support this shift into a more healthy future.* Efficient coordination across groups enables more decentralized organizing and greater innovation.* Data is a commons and must be treated as such. Platform users need to be empowered when it comes to their data.* Power stays healthier when shared. We are dedicated to fair, transparent, and consent-driven work, enabling participatory communities to share values and approaches, and to approach teamwork informed by insights from healthy living systems.There you have it. I highly recommend you reach out to her and her team if you are trying to do better work in groups.Special Announcement: Join me for the first in a new series of live hangout calls for patrons on Saturday, January 18th at 2 pm Mountain Time!

2020 was the year that women emerged indisputably as the world’s most successful leaders, from Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s COVID responses to German Chancellor Angela Merkel saving the eurozone and minimizing damage from Brexit. But perhaps more important was the growing success of transnational feminist movements. For more than a decade, networks of women have been sharing resources, media know-how, and strategies across mass movements. Now this transnational work is producing policy breakthroughs and societal shifts, including greater protections for survivors of sexual violence in Guatemala, more reproductive rights and legalized abortion in Chile and Argentina, the decriminalization of homosexuality in India, a crackdown on sexual harassment in South Korea, and the Greta Thunberg-inspired youth movement for stronger climate response everywhere. What is next for these movements, especially in many Middle Eastern and African countries, where progress for women has been incremental? What setbacks have the pandemic and authoritarianism caused for women and social movements? Pardis Mahdavi, dean of social sciences in Arizona State University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, visited Zócalo on International Women’s Day to discuss the most promising opportunities right now for transnational women’s movements to save our world. This Zócalo/ASU Center on the Future of War panel discussion was moderated by Mi-Ai Parrish, managing director of ASU Media Enterprise. With an introduction from Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO of New America. Co-sponsored with the ASU Global Human Rights Hub.

In the beginning… Paul and Christophe realized that the blockchain provides an ideal platform for a carbon marketplace where people can get paid to remove CO2 from the atmosphere—and ultimately succeed in reversing climate change. It took more than six days, but they eventually put together a team, developed a business plan, and Nori was born. The bottom line is that we need to remove 1.5 trillion tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to get back to safe levels. The Nori team intends to make that happen by connecting people interested in paying for carbon offsets with people who are using any number of methods to remove carbon from the atmosphere. One Nori token purchases one ton of carbon removal credits (CRCs), and the company measures the removal of CO2 and records that information on the blockchain. Ultimately, Nori leverages the power of markets to pay individuals who are innovating in the area of carbon removal and treat the root cause of climate change—too much carbon in the atmosphere. Today, Ross, Christophe and Paul are sharing the details of Nori’s role in reversing climate change, explaining the company’s principal aims, how Nori addresses the problems associated with current carbon removal markets, and how cryptocurrency figures into their plans.  They walk us through Nori’s core values and their current progress in developing the platform. Listen in for the Norigin story and learn how the team is preparing to launch in 2018.   Resources Simon Sinek’s TED Talk ASU Center for Negative Carbon Emissions The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis ConsenSys   Key Takeaways [0:50] Nori’s purpose Build market mechanism that pays to remove CO2 from atmosphere [1:17] Nori’s role in reversing climate change Provide financing, incentives to facilitate large-scale carbon removal Measure and verify CO2 removal, record on blockchain [5:02] The cryptocurrency element of Nori’s plan One Nori token purchases one ton of carbon removal credits Represents universal price on carbon removal [6:49] The problems that Nori addresses Offsets sell for different prices Issues of double-counting Trust barrier No-cost payment methodology [9:09] Nori’s core values Open-sourced methodology Remove carbon AND maintain energy use, quality of life Create mechanism to reduce emissions (no favorites) Put price on carbon removal, leverage power of markets [12:30] How Nori came about Paul looking into climate change, started Carbon Removal Seattle Reached out to ASU Center for Negative Carbon Emissions Connected with Christophe, started Carbon Removal Society Christophe started Carbon A List, met Paul at conference Paul and Jaycen competed in Hackathon with Carbon Harvest Christophe moved to Seattle, worked with Paul on idea Entered month-long ConsenSys business planning competition Won in energy and environment category, founded company Hosting summit at end of April to demo prototype Plans to launch platform and token together in 2018 [25:10] The important issues Nori is working on Monetary economics to stabilize supply/demand Auditing system to disincentivize cheating Getting the word out (i.e.: eBook, podcast and whitepaper) [27:39] Nori’s current progress Developers creating platform, designing token Redesign of website

“The CO2 problem is a waste management problem … If I were to dump my garbage in front of your house and you complained, I would say, ‘Now wait a minute. I’m 20% better than I was last year. I want a reward!’ … If you put it in this context, you see it immediately looks silly. The difference is, it really changes the way you think about the problem.” Ross and Christophe are joined by Dr. Klaus Lackner, the director of ASU’s Center for Negative Carbon Emissions (CNCE) and professor at the School of Sustainable Engineering. The CNCE is known for advancing carbon management technologies to capture carbon dioxide directly from the air in an outdoor operating environment. Today Klaus explains how he conceived of the windmill-sized structures that could scrub CO2 from the air and how these towers prove to be a more efficient solution than planting trees.  Ross, Christophe and Klaus also discuss CO2 as a waste management issue, comparing the way society eventually addressed sewage with the current problem surrounding carbon emissions. Klaus offers his take on the feasibility of retrofitting coal plants for carbon capture, the politics of carbon sequestration, and the decreasing cost of carbon capture technology. Listen in to understand how putting a price on CO2 could balance our carbon budget and the role volunteers are likely to play in prompting government action.   Key Takeaways   [2:59] Klaus’ eureka moment around carbon sequestration Proposal to build tower that would turn wind energy into heat Realized structure could be 100X more efficient in reducing carbon footprint   [7:22] The concept of a moisture swing Plastic coated in absorptive resin Pulls CO2 out of air when dry, releases when wet   [8:53] Why trees aren’t an efficient method of sequestering carbon Scale problem (not enough land available to keep up with current emissions) Would compete with food production Klaus’ structures could extract 1,000X faster than trees Structures would not be in competition for agricultural land Excess CO2 could be converted to liquid fuel   [14:28] How viewing CO2 as a waste management problem would change the game Comparison with sewage, must be properly treated and disposed of Either dispose safely or not make in first place Air capture functions like street sweeper Can’t just make less CO2, must collect what put out Oil industry injecting CO2 in ground for EOR is not enough Far more opportunity to store carbon than can be made from coal, oil and gas   [20:46] Klaus’ work around diffused carbon capture Carbon capture industry can never be carbon neutral Must be balanced through removal   [22:33] Why Klaus is skeptical of the proposal to retrofit coal plants for carbon capture Coal plants not designed for this (inefficient, cheap) Price would jump, not economically viable Coal can’t compete with natural gas as it is Old coal plants will become stranded assets   [26:26] Small power plants vs. large power plants Bigger not always better, consider cost and scale Reduced risk in small plants that don’t last If assumptions incorrect, can pivot after two years   [30:34] Klaus’ insight around the politics of carbon sequestration Similar to sewage discussion in 1800’s Trigger event necessary to spur change Dire economic consequences if unprepared   [32:00] The role of volunteers in prompting government action Volunteers can lead way, i.e.: recycling movement   [33:53] How to foot the bill for carbon sequestration Take one ton from ground, must demonstrate that one ton put away May motivate to replace carbon with renewables  Cannot predict if cheaper to bury carbon or replace   [40:01] The alarming rate of increasing carbon emissions 280 ppm before Industrial Revolution 300 ppm by 1900 Currently 400 ppm, increases by 2-3 ppm per year Will reach 450 ppm in 15-17 years CO2 emissions grow with economies   [45:06] The decreasing cost of carbon sequestration  Climeworks went from $600/ton to $400/ton First of kind always expensive, technology can drive costs down Klaus believes $60/ton is possible Automation makes revolutionary change possible Could collect thousands of tons of CO2 on few acres of land   [50:11] Klaus’ take on the future of the air capture industry Transition to waste management paradigm Develop like other technologies (more affordable) Volunteers to spur change (i.e.: individuals, corporations) Air capture one of many players in game Price on CO2, world could balance carbon budget Cannot solve problem by stopping growth   Connect with Ross & Christophe   Nori Carbon A List   Resources   ASU Center for Negative Carbon Emissions Klaus Lackner, PhD IPCC Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage Sleipner CO2 Storage Climeworks

Gary Marchant is the Lincoln Professor of Emerging Technologies, Law, and Ethics at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. He is also a Professor of Life Sciences at ASU, and Executive Director of the ASU Center for the Study of Law, Science and Technology. Professor Marchant has a PhD in Genetics from the University of British Columbia, a Masters of Public Policy degree from the Kennedy School of Government, and a law degree from Harvard. Prior to joining the ASU faculty in 1999, he was a partner in a Washington, DC law firm where his practice focused on environmental and administrative law. At ASU, Gary teaches environmental, food, genetic, and drug law, and has studied the legal aspects of risk assessment, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. Are genetically engineered foods safe? Should biotechnology products have special labels? Under what circumstances can nations restrict imports of GE foods? Should genes and organisms be patented? The law ultimately decides these and other difficult questions about biotechnology. Gary’s Food for Thought lecture examines how and if these decisions can be made in a fair, scientifically credible, and socially acceptable manner. Outreach in Biotechnology’s Food for Thought Lecture Series brings together internationally recognized experts to talk about the best (and worst) ways to use biotechnology for food and fuel.
