ÚLTIMO EPISODIO 🔗

The Water Cycle of Knowledge

On a rainy fall morning, I found myself watching the water cycle unfold outside my window: ocean becoming cloud, cloud becoming rain, rain feeding forests, reservoirs, bodies and rivers before eventually finding its way back to the sea. And a thought occurred to me: The water belongs nowhere and pa…

EPISODIOS ANTERIORES

If technology makes essential services cheaper to provide, who gets the gains and who pays while we wait? In this episode of *Conversations with Mica*, Kari LaMotte and Mica, an AI conversational partner, explore how improvements in what we can produce become improvements in how we live. Energy pro…
How do we build a more regenerative, sustainable future when the hardest challenge is not the technology, but how we talk, listen, and decide together? In this conversation, we explore the posture needed for difficult conversations about collective change. From infrastructure and co-design to power…
What can plants teach us about progress? In this first Conversations with Mica, Kari LaMotte thinks alongside Mica, an AI conversational partner, about seeds, stems, leaves, and the quieter work that allows a living system to renew itself.

In this essay, I explore the difference between purpose as self-sacrifice and purpose as coherent participation. For a long time, I confused being useful with reducing my own ability…

The Shape of Community

What makes a neighbourhood? Through reflections on three very different communities (a prairie farming town, Vancouver’s Commercial Drive, and life in a dense urban neighbourhood) I explore how community changes as the places we live change. As our cities evolve, so do the ways we connect, belong, …
I recently found myself reflecting on one of my earliest attempts at empathy. As a child, I once gave my younger sister a birthday gift that consisted of the contents of my bedside drawer: a worn charm necklace, a collection of charms, and some fake money. I was thrilled with my own thoughtfulness.…
Systems move through rhythms. Growth, consolidation, release, renewal. Yet culturally, we often treat any pause, slowdown, or restructuring as failure rather than recognizing it as part of how living systems evolve. In this reflection, I explore the cyclical nature of progress, from the seasons the…
