  • In today's Win-Win episode I meet with Boyan Slat. Boyan is the founder and CEO of the Ocean Cleanup, the famous organization that's trying to rid our waterways of plastic for good. I ask him why plastic has become such a problem, the difference between effective and ineffective regulation (ahem Plastic Straw Ban!), the importance of mindset when solving hard problems, and of course, his relationship with competition.

    AMAZING conversation. What an incredible guy, so full of optimism, and he actually acts on it… His little speech at the end about the feats of this species was beautiful, I could never have so eloquently put it like that on the spot. Going about my day with a renewed sense of hope ❤

    Amazing interview with so many nuggets of wisdom. Would have to rewatch this to pick up concepts of ethics, problem solving and just how to be optimistic in general. I think i can listen to Boyan in a meditation app. Would love to see him back on the show in a couple of years.

    Ty. When I learned of this project at the developmental stage, I was so hopeful that someone was trying to something and hopeful that it would be successful. Although the scope of the existing garbage patch and rate of growth seemed insurmountable, I considered that old axiom: "how do u eat an elephant, one bite at a time," and I encouraged and supported OC to start biting asap. So exciting to see the progress

    Please interview David Sloan Wilson and anyone of the Max Neef foundation. The most effective way and the only way to significantly improve the world is to raise awareness about fundamental human needs. That is as long as most people don't know what human beings require to become and stay mentally and physically healthy so that they not only are not a burden or a danger to society but actually are beneficial to society.

    I really enjoyed your discussion 23:45 about philosophy! Boyan's approach is probably one of the best examples of the "Win-Win Utilitarianism Infinite Games Mindset" in action, I have come across so far. Research has found that SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) antidepressants actually make people neuro/bio-chemically less utilitarian/consequentialist and more deontological.

    One flaw. You needed more encouragement to support OC and provide info on how to do so. I have my OC sunglasses made from the recycled plastic, and they r great high quality glasses

    You know what gets me? That we even are having a discussion about cleaning up the mess we primates have made of all our waterways, the ocean and seas. We've quite literally turned this paradise Earth into our toilet. It's quite an accomplishment, isn't it? I have to ask. What truly intelligence species does something like that? The mess, that is, not the talking about it. Ever get the impression that boy the landlord is gonna be pissed when it comes around to inspect what we've been doing to the place? Yeah, me too.
    Focus, people, FOCUS. And yeah that's me yelling. It's time to wake up to the reality that ours is a terrarium. Get it? If we want to continue in this merry existence, we need to better comport our habits, our ways. There's still time, but is getting short. So time to freakin' focus. It's not all about Me, it's about WE!

    Majority of plastic in oceans are from fishing gear. So biggest thing to do is eat something else than what comes from the ocean.

      70% of the world population lives within a 100km from the coastline. Fish is a major food source to feed 8 billion people and especially in poorer areas of the world it might be the only source of fresh meat.

      Like the bad choice to harass women in their place of contribution to the world, about their not having kids yet?
      Also have you considered that not all childlessness is a choice and your pressuring of the topic could hit someday hit someone infertile and in grief about it?

    I was out to dinner one night, a waiter brought me a straw I did not ask for, I immediately called 911 and had him arrested and the restaurant shut down even though the store across the street was being looted and nobody cared. I then went out, climbed over the homeless tents with people crapping on the sidewalk and shooting up and voted for a democrat just to make sure passing out straws would never happen again.
