I really like how he used examples from history to show how our idea of wealth has changed over time. It makes it easier to see that maybe we’re due for another big shift
As someone who's really into tech, the idea of using data and sensors to monitor nature is super cool to me. It feels like we’re finally getting the tools we need to understand what’s really going on with the environment.
Man, I loved how he tied in personal stories like his grandfather counting birds. It really shows how much our values have changed, and how disconnected we’ve become from nature.
It’s inspiring to see someone who’s worked in so many different fields come up with a new way to look at wealth. We need more people like this thinking outside the box
I wasn't expecting this to be about nature or for it to bring in tech like deep learning models and geospatial data! It’s exciting to see how advanced technology could actually help us take better care of the planet.
I have to say the concept of indexing wealth to nature instead of resources would be a total game-changer. It’s not just theoretical either; it seems like something that could really take off if more people got on board.
I’ve never heard anyone talk about a "nature-based economy" before, but the way he describes it makes so much sense. It’s crazy we haven’t moved toward something like that sooner.
Hearing him talk about the era of Enlightenment makes me wonder if we’re in the middle of something similar right now. It’s like we’re on the edge of a new way of thinking, but we’re not quite there yet.
It’s frustrating how little incentive there is to protect the land. He nailed it when he said farmers like Ian are stuck in a system that rewards them for degrading their land.
In the 21st century, there is a need to look at the concept of creating wealth. Recently I read a blog by moonpreneur on 21st century skills which made me realize the importance of learning 21st century skills to exist in this era.
The concept of turning nature from a cost into an asset is huge. I wonder how long it’ll take for governments and businesses to really start making that shift.
The way he's asking us to think about wealth is really interesting, and I agree it's far past time that we reconsider basing it on just money alone because there are definitely more precious things out there
His point about how we never reinvest in nature is so true. We’re always taking, but we rarely think about putting anything back. That mindset definitely needs to change!
This talk makes some great examples of how interconnected everything is - our economy, the environment and our well-being are so much more closely linked than we think
The concept of 'nature equity' as a way to solve the climate and nature riddle is fascinating. It's like combining economics with environmental stewardship.
Wow, "erasing the hard drive of life" that one really hit me. I never thought of extinction in such brutal terms, but that’s exactly what’s happening. Feels like we’re running out of time to change things
I totally agree with him that we’re in this weird moment of tension. You can feel it everywhere, like people know something has to change, but no one’s quite sure how to make it happen yet.
It’s interesting how he connects economics to ecology. I always thought of those as separate worlds, but after hearing this, it’s clear that we need to stop seeing them as separate if we want to fix the planet.
The idea of combining fintech with nature? That’s something I wouldn’t have expected. It’s really cool to see someone with so much experience find a way to merge those two worlds into something that could genuinely make a difference.
This is so cool to think about! It's (hopefully) only a matter of time before the collapse of capitalism and we need a new type of monetary system to take its place
So cool that his skills and previous experiences align in a way to give him this kind of perspective! Really speaks to applying all your skillset towards solving problems
A nature based economy just sounds like returning to pre-industrial revolution values. And I'm into it. It makes sense that we should place importance on a resource that _can_ regenerate if we give it the opportunity to
Honestly, this talk made me rethink how I look at wealth in such a cool way. I grew up thinking it’s all about money, but now I’m starting to see that wealth should also be about preserving the planet we live on.
I’ve been working in finance for a while now, and I’ve never heard of something like "nature equity" before. It sounds like a fresh approach that might actually help balance out the crazy resource use we see today.
When he mentioned how past civilizations valued things like cacao beans and birds as wealth, it made me think about what future generations will value. Maybe it won’t be money after all?
Going from an extractive economy to a regenerative one sounds kind of essential? Like when you think about the issues we're facing it really does make a lot of sense
It's kind of shocking when you think about how our wealth is currently indexed on using up finite resources. I don't think enough people realize that let alone think about what it really means for the planet
Ahh man "consciously erasing the hard drive of life" is grim af... I guess it's a realistic way to phrase what's happening in terms of extinction but man is it a brutaI turn of phrase
Interesting, not? We pretend to live in the information economy. And we are shredding penta-bytes and billions of years of life's information every day.
Anyone else concerned about 70% of vertebrates becoming extinct over the last 50years? We haven't even discovered them all, surely there important to the world. Who knows the consequences.
We like nature from a far. A beautiful waterfall on your screen without suffering the leeches to see it in person.
Yessss let's give nature the respect and value it deserves!

I appreciate the honesty about the polarization and anxiety surrounding ecological transformation. It's a tough but necessary conversation

Enlightenment is so rare people don't even grasp it. Except maybe this dude, he's onto something.
It’s frustrating how little incentive there is to protect the land. He nailed it when he said farmers like Ian are stuck in a system that rewards them for degrading their land.
The idea of redefining wealth to include nature is really intriguing. It makes so much sense to value what actually sustains us.
Exactly, the economy was born in a world where nature seemed unfathomable. So, it's not aymore. And so, we must change the way we run economies.
Agreed, sometimes the evident answer is the right one.

Brilliant , terrifying and sometimes amusing talk from someone with such a wealth of experience. Great to see solutions in nature / fintech!!
This talk makes some great examples of how interconnected everything is - our economy, the environment and our well-being are so much more closely linked than we think
Thank you. The number of examples where investing into nature is attractive will - frankly - skyrocket.
The mention of using bioacoustics and sensors to create a nature capital account is so high-tech. It's amazing how far technology has come.
The concept of 'nature equity' as a way to solve the climate and nature riddle is fascinating. It's like combining economics with environmental stewardship.

If it helps efforts for saving our planet then I'm all for it 💚💚

Pretty spot on what he says about how we're plundering nature and never reinvesting in it. Definitely needs to change.

This guy is so smart, I don't know what I just watched.
I love the personal touch with the story about your grandfather. It really highlights how wealth can be so personal and unique.
We are all the result of what others have planted in us.
The point about our current financial system needing to grow exponentially is spot on. It's unsustainable and needs to change.
Matching exponential expecatations to a linear system is just not a very good idea. So let's change it.
Oh boy him saying wealth for him as a boy was time spent with his grandfather 😭😭 I felt the same way about my grandmother.
When he mentioned how past civilizations valued things like cacao beans and birds as wealth, it made me think about what future generations will value. Maybe it won’t be money after all?
Interesting comparison of historical conceptions of wealth. It really shows how subjective and culturally dependent the idea of wealth is.
My favorite: Inaam "Enough to share".
Going from an extractive economy to a regenerative one sounds kind of essential? Like when you think about the issues we're facing it really does make a lot of sense
What he says around the 10:00 mark really drives home why a capitalist society is unsustainable, constant growth just isn't possible forever
Improvement, personal advancement, a braoder perspective are always possible. Let's call them growth.
This is an amazing visions for the future, and something I sincerely hope gains traction!
Let go beyond hoping. Let's work for it.
If the transition from an extractive to a regenerative economy is necessary sounds like it'll be a huge challenge
The idea that we're living through a state shift in geology and climate is both scary and motivating. We need to act fast.
We are all stuck with our own narrow horizon and human experience. let's zoom out.
It's kind of shocking when you think about how our wealth is currently indexed on using up finite resources. I don't think enough people realize that let alone think about what it really means for the planet
I had no idea we were losing species at a rate faster than some mass extinctions. That's a huge wake-up call.
It's frustrating that the financial incentives are still set up to reward degradation rather than preservation of nature.
Financial incentive are - unlike gravity - a human invention. We can change them any day.
I so feel wealth is out of the reach now oif at least 90% of the world.
This guy chose the biggest problem he could think of, Jordan Peterson would be proud.
Ahh man "consciously erasing the hard drive of life" is grim af... I guess it's a realistic way to phrase what's happening in terms of extinction but man is it a brutaI turn of phrase
