Climate Change – Hayden Breese https://www.hayden.co.nz Ideas, Tech, Change & Disruption Fri, 03 Mar 2023 03:57:21 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.8 Life on Earth is over…wait…Tesla and Elon have a plan! https://www.hayden.co.nz/2023/03/03/life-on-earth-is-overwaittesla-and-elon-have-a-plan/ Fri, 03 Mar 2023 03:57:20 +0000 https://www.hayden.co.nz/?p=625 Let’s get this cleared up right from the start. I have invested in Tesla and not just because they have a “why” they do things mantra. They are simply more innovative than their competitors. They are solving problems that matter in todays society and are critical to the future of humanity. Tesla is a company that has evolved beyond the profit motive and I respect that.

The fact that they have a master plan part 3 for a sustainable energy future and are executing that plan is remarkable. Many governments and corporations seem set on talking themselves into oblivion or at least framing the illusion of concern without any real action at all. Isn’t it time we all took action?

The second remarkable feat is having a vision beyond a profit motive while still making a profit. This company is a market leader in so many ways. This is when a critic will step in and say there are better robots or cars or something else. There are single use cases of innovation agreed. The Tesla design thinking for scale approach, ensures execution and commercialisation, is at the top of mind in innovation. This alone sets them apart in terms of monetising research and development.

Disruption is coming. There is no doubt it can’t come soon enough. Legacy car manufacturers only hope at this point is to disrupt themselves. They must spin off seperate EV based companies that are free of the existing infrastructure, cashflows, bureaucracy and burdens of legacy technologies. Even then they may fail, as they are simply not vertically integrated enough to compete with Tesla’s first principles philosophy.

All in all, I am proud to watch Tesla methodically design a vision of the future and execute on their plan for the betterment of humanity. They are doing things not just because it makes money but because it makes sense. Saving our planet and our children seems like a win win to me. So let’s give them what they need and help them make it happen.

Tesla Bot and me https://www.hayden.co.nz/2021/08/21/tesla-bot-and-me/ Sat, 21 Aug 2021 04:30:34 +0000 https://www.hayden.co.nz/?p=573 It was 4:05pm and the rain pounded the concrete outside. The city will flood again and that wont be an extreme event. Extreme weather events are now normal. I’m not sure what the word “Extreme” means anymore.

My Tesla Bot and I are comfortable. Well, not that it cares how comfortable it is but it feels more like a companion if I consider its needs. I win the chess game again, I must remember to increase the difficulty setting, or not. Tesla Bot doesn’t mind being a loser.

I relax into position and slip into the re-gen VR mask. A knowing nod to Tesla Bot and I swear he winked. Tesla Bot will, according to the sales pitch, take care of boring, repetitive and dangerous tasks while I have gone down under in digital land.

It’s common for most people to spend the day in VR. After all digi land is a magical place. You can be more, do more, and everything is…easier. Humans became addicted to digital technology. Obsessed with computers, then smart phones. Augmented reality came next but didn’t really stand a chance. Let’s face it the world kinda sucked. We trashed it. Climate change, pandemic, disease, economic collapse. As the technology advanced to regenerate physical health, people escaped to Virtual Reality.

Humans do what humans do and markets moved online. Assets in the real world inflated due to supply issues. Industries were disrupted or destroyed by climate. People were no longer safe, due to the escalating pandemic. You could own a big house and drive a cool car in virtual.

Humans and their biological bodies were not well designed for this changing environment. Tesla Bot didn’t mind extreme heat or cold, viruses or lack of food. In this new environment, Tesla Bot worked remarkably well.

It’s 11:00pm and I feel fantastic. Seven hours of Virtual is the recommended World Health Organisation dosage for regeneration. Tesla Bot and I sat calmly staring out the window at the world beyond. As the rain hit the ground and bounced back up into the air, it felt for a second like the world was being washed clean, reset and de-materialising before my eyes…
