4. @mariafarrell on the conditions under which technology might help liberate us, and those under which it emphatically won't crookedtimber.org/2021/05/04/wha…
5. @Eaterofsun on solar geoengineering as a kind of sustained contradiction crookedtimber.org/2021/05/05/on-…
6. @greenprofgreen on how we need to move away from focusing on technocratic solutions to think about the political struggles over climate change crookedtimber.org/2021/05/06/can…

10. @henryfarrell asks whether we're moving away from a world of technocracy, and toward a world of imperium crookedtimber.org/2021/05/12/tec…
11. And @snaidunl on economics and the actual ways that institutional change might happen crookedtimber.org/2021/05/13/thi…
12. It's a great seminar - the idea was to get people arguing with and through the core question of the book - what kinds of political, economic and social changes do we need to get to stop climate change and perhaps reverse it. We hope it will get others arguing, and doing too.
