The Distortion and Disruption of Narratives (Things are Weird)
full write up: https://kyla.substack.com/p/the-distortion-and-disruption-of?s=w Our lives are mostly a result of the content that we interact with. We are (sort of) an average of the five people that we spend the most time with. The things that we read and watch and the people we talk to end up shaping our world. And that is compounded by !algorithms! that *also* determine how we see the world. We end up tying ourselves into our online worlds because that is where we exist for most of the day. Like sure, we might have a running group or in-person work environment, but most of us are inherently online beings right now.

Rising Tides: The Science of Salmon Investing
Full write up https://kyla.substack.com
This is Part 1 of a Two Part food and commodity inflation series. I wanted to intro Scoot as a solution, and will follow up with a broader macro piece on Friday!
Check out Scoot here: https://www.scootscience.com
Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post with Scoot Science. As I’ve outlined in many of my pieces, we cannot have green energy policy without green energy investment - but I’ve never provided or discussed solutions beyond that. Scoot Science is building a tool called SeaVest that allows investors to understand the investability of salmon sites, incorporating sustainability and investment impact in order to benefit society (and the environment!).
This piece will discuss the history of investing, with a focus on climate-related projects, and then discuss the importance of ocean investment and understanding ocean risk to grow the blue economy. There will be a focus on salmon farms, through both the lens of economic and ecosystem benefits, and how we truly can embrace the concept of ESG.
