Instructor: Ivo Welch, Professor
Course Title:
Not a Course in Business Opportunities
Conceptual Economics Course
But if you do not understand the broader context, do you really want to dedicate your life or go into the clean-energy business?
Not a Course in Ayn-Randian Defense of Free Markets
Not a Course in Climate Activism.
The Red Pill
Morpheus:
Remember, Neo: All I am offering is the truth, nothing more.
not just for climate-change deniers
but also for climate activists
If you want to be an activist, be my guest.
Think about the following questions:
what is only performative and/or useless?
what can you focus on that would make a difference?
what can you focus on now that would make a difference?
It sucks that the sun goes down,
…but there is nothing we can do about it!
if you want to keep warm, don’t argue about how humanity could invent mirrors that may in 50 years redirect sunlight, but think about what you can do now to improve the situation
if you want to slow the flood, work in the design office.
don’t put your finger into the world’s dyke.
make it easier for people to put fingers into dykes
I will use this many times in this course.
Don’t shoot the messenger!
I am rearranging the topics relative to the book. This will be the organization in the next edition of the book.
