This is the story of one of the most inspiring schools on the planet. It's sometimes described as the 'Hogwarts for do-gooders', and when I visited the school in March of this year, I was absolutely blown away. 🧵👇

As floods & fires rise, oceans boil & ice melts, and "safe" temperatures are breached, something momentous just happened in the heart of the EU. No one has heard about it: journalists were present, but their editors refused to publish 🤯. 🧵, please RT. #BeyondGrowth2023 1/

@juhani @elonmusk @POTUS @CommunityNotes Taxing capital gains of the top 1% could be an effective way to reduce inequality and give people of my generation, not born into wealth, an opportunity to, eg. actually own a home instead of lifetime renting. That’s the reality for most.

@elonmusk @POTUS @CommunityNotes The 3% (or 8%) is based on unrealized capital gains, not actual income. If someone thinks those gains should be taxed, think again – when your apartment or house gains value, would you, be willing to pay tax for the gain each year?

Look, I think you should be able to be a billionaire if you can earn it, but just pay your fair share. I think you ought to pay a minimum tax of 25%. It’s about basic fairness.

SVB? Another example of socialization of risks, privatization of rewards. Embarrassingly dysfunctional dynamic. Solutions outlined 10 years ago in Chap 9 of my book The Entrepreneurial State. 10th anniversary must be celebrated with examples of good not bad practice. @IIPP_UCL

@MeskanenP Or is frontier more like enabling technology?

@MeskanenP No you are not… frontier and deeptech are essentially the same thing tho yea?

Deep tech, hardware, frontier... I can't be the only one finding these terms confusing🤯
