Reflections beyond growth (V): Degrowth, fears and euphemisms
Álex López: The risk is clear: that degrowth will remain trapped between unspoken fears and the euphemisms that disguise it.

It seems that both AI and climate anxiety share a common root: the current structure of capitalism.
Our system, which demands constant, unrestricted growth, shapes everything from our economy to our psychology.
In the climate crisis, it manifests as overproduction and overconsumption, while in AI, it drives the replacement of human labor with cheaper machine labor and the optimization of attention economies.

Do You Have AI Anxiety? Understanding Fear, Capitalism, and the Future
AI and climate change trigger similar fears about the future. Learn how to transform anxiety into empowerment by understanding the systems beneath both crises and envisioning the world you want to build.

Trump’s reshaping of science has fueled fears researchers will leave the U.S. This lab tech's story shows it can drive people out of science altogether.

It was heavily implied that the power going out in Caracas shortly before the US raid was a cyber operation.
In the same way that the US fears Chinese equipment will be remotely commandeered for military or espionage uses, governments will probably be looking at where US company equipment sits in their critical infrastructure.
