Is the photo not of the forest map concerning logging by European illiterate slaves?

And nothing fundamental will happen even if warehouses are burnt. Once their physical and material heads begin to roll down the alley and blood from their arteries fill the drainage system of the city, maybe then something worth cheering for will be erected.

Dont fret. Majority of humans have common sense, yet incapacitated they become once critical thinking is required.

In plain term, those who burry their head in a sand dune right after they saw afar a sandstorm. In more simplified form, majority of the Americans, knowing of the corruption and yet expecting the institution partaking in the corruption to deal with the corruption. In a cognitive term, arrogant ignorance. Choose whatever.

Desensitization occurs even among those who aware. Those who aware, a substantial portion of I would assume, tune out and do bare minimum globally and maximum locally.

The world is going precisely where the system takes it. And as any system collapses, so the world––and by world I assume you alluded to society, as natural world will rebound, eventually.

I welcome the chaos. The nation that brought bloodshed to other countries. A nation that brought Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden, Trump. A nation erected on stolen land, on spilled blood of indigenous. I celebrate the very fact that they finally feel the imperial power folding inwards. That is the reckoning they ought to go through. More......

Under Obama, covert, same under Clinton. Overt under Bush or during the establishment of the state, and now uder Trumpt. Frankly, it has always been fascistic, just at times it was disguised as something that was bringing democracy to those who were already had it by their own measures.

Until nornalcy is back and America keeps being covert fascist state.

Whether true or not, Americas have been lab rast for a century if not more. They have not changed, and not willing to, despite the literature painting the obvious. Thereby, why extending a bloody care to a zombie populace.

In Russian there is a specific word for such individuals, Dalbayob /Далбаойд

Not a scholar to listen to, with all due respect, in regards to human mentalism, which reproduction is very much influenced by.

The conditions for civil war are there. One can argue that the war is ongoing, just not in the streets. Though it will get there inevitably.

And not a single word from these charlatans about freeing people from labour, which is a possibility. As I said charlatans, and I do not believe them!

Yay....so well hmmm do we get then redistribution of wealth? Reduction of working hours? More time to spend in dying nature?

Well... What Mr frozen egg advices here could be reality if space exploration had serious funding and well-defined mission of "why"; instead the marvel of space exploration resulted in dick rubbing contest, who wins the race. Yeah we got cool toys and technological advances, but that is pretty much it. Does humanity have a permanent base on lunar surface? I mean, if we could leave an imprint on it sized 43 european, surely a permanent colonization could be achieved before the release of End of Days. So all Mr frozen egg can hope for is to launch his remains as an air defense against falling sattelite. Anyway, Friday is coming. Time to get high.

Kid free and I ain't changing my mind even if I was offered infinite cash. Just to witness the level of education nowadays and to contemplate that my kids would mingle with them charlatans and idiots--I feel exhausted just from entertaining the horror. I had enough myself dealing with university peers and colleagues, that could not recite a single fact that was indoctrinated to them with memorizing assignments.

Conservation; it will be the ultimate and only choice, not much left to wait.

It is a formidable challenge to assess the global social forecast and discern the direction in which the winds of change might be blowing; this difficulty is compounded by being constrained to the local environment. Nevertheless, a prevailing impression emerges: Millennials, Gen Z, and the generation that follows are collectively arriving at an awareness that the luxury of passive observation is no longer tenable; the discordance between reality and rhetoric is becoming too glaring to ignore. Many still struggle to articulate precisely what they observe and the core of the predicament, but the mere existence of their voiced frustration is telling. The discovered dissonance may not always be tied explicitly to the climate crisis—yet denial cannot be stretched ad infinitum, for a deteriorating ecosystem inevitably leads to a degraded quality of life, a fact that increasingly weighs on the collective psyche. It has become almost irrefutable that the political elite, at least in the West, is increasingly estranged from the actual needs and desires of society—a sentiment that has been gaining traction since, to exercise epistemological accuracy, 2007-8—though I am aware of arguments that would suggest an earlier date. Never mind that; however, this disconnection is not merely inferred from data points and bar graphs but from a more visceral recognition of hypocrisy, corruption, and the gross inequities that permeate the fabric of public life. Among the younger demographics in the United States, there is a burgeoning belief that the so-called two-party system is a farce; a binary choice that offers no real divergence in principle or policy. While outright revolution may not be imminent, it would be a mistake of arrogance to dismiss the possibility. I would posit that the true acceleration of this momentum will occur when the realization crystallizes that what is masquerading as a single party in the United States operates on principles alarmingly akin to fascism, if not fascism outright; when this recognition dawns, society may indeed witness an escalation in the drive for change—again, that moment has yet to fully materialize. Society, as becomes glaringly evident, stands on the precipice of potentially redirecting the current toward some form of socialism; the fact that discourse on capitalism and its alternatives is no longer confined to the fringes, despite often being rudimentary or misinformed, is itself telling. I harbor no illusions—my cynicism is borne of clear-eyed observation—but I nonetheless possess a sincere, albeit reluctant, desire to be proven wrong. Some crystallized thoughts...

He is a climate scientist from the city I live in and he often does include links in the bio. He is credible. Do watch the video and you can copy the title and Google it.

I did so. Took a break. Helped! Would suggest the same to you comrade.

**Key Points:** Estimated Collapse Time: The AMOC collapse is estimated to occur between 2037 and 2064, with a mean estimate around 2050. Probability of Collapse: There is a 59% probability (with a margin of ± 17%) that the AMOC will collapse before the year 2050. **Abstract Summary:** The paper expresses growing concerns about the potential collapse of the AMOC within this century. Such a collapse would have severe global impacts. The research is based on statistical analyses of proxy data and reanalysis data, focusing on salinity near the southern boundary of the Atlantic, which is identified as critical for predicting the AMOC collapse. The study refines earlier models by providing observationally-based probability estimates for the collapse timing.

— with the collapse of Lebanon and shortages that it created i am very curious to know how Israel has been preparing or reacting to it? Possible tension that leads to yet another northern boarder war? With that being asked, I suspect the region is going towards very unsustainable future in terms of geopolitics. The vacuum in Lebanon will be either left to be filled by extremism or by foreign power establishment.

So nothing new under the sun. The civilization collapse is underway.

Presumable George Carling read Emma Goldman, who was an scholar and an anarchist. She said, “If voting worked, it would be illegal.”

But at least now one can have a valid, observable, quantifiable, verifiable, unfalsifiable reason to be late to a midterm of final.

Paring Ian’s theory with phenomenology and cognitive anthropology does yield some remarkable questions and hypothesis. Academia needs to be slapped hard to wake up.

Good one :)

Interesting read. Responded :)

It was indeed a shallow discourse.

This erosion of life itself. Comical.

It seems as ‘wisdom’ when one adopts the stance of romanticism, that is viewing the past as something noble, which leads to cultural hierarchy, which is a flawed logical fallacy. It is tempting, I admit, to adopt a romantic stance. Delving into anthropology, one finds a more persuasive argument, revealing that our ancestors' mythology, while not an abstract notion like current monotheistic mythologies referred to as religion, was still bound to logical positivism. Humans gradually embraced monotheism and, viewed from a contemporary perspective, were still considered wise, assuming your argument's logic is followed. However, engaging deeply with anthropology necessitates exploring the anthropology of mythology. This exploration reveals several key insights: firstly, monotheism marks a point where complications arose, though this is a generalization. Secondly, the shift to monotheism was an inevitable development. Thirdly, mythology is intrinsically linked to social logic, necessitating that it doesn't contradict observable reality. Lastly, inequality can be both reflected and reinforced in mythology. This is particularly pronounced when mythology is rooted in text, a phenomenon of recent social logic.

Familiar state comrade. If you need a partner to philosophize with , would love to have just a dialogue.

Do you publish? Would love to read the philosophy of sort :).

I am insulated for the time being, but deeply aware of the cascading effects. I gave up on the society and on moulding self to the system.\ This resolution is fairly simple, read as many non fiction books as I can.

What do you write about?

I am looking forward to 2024 and 2025 with great anticipation. The social tectonic plates are moving.

Good news or bad news, humans are already zombies.

[Crude oil production (US)](https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&s=mcrfpus2&f=a) picked up since 2013.\ Following questions:\ 1. Can it be due to 2008 crisis, to get the economy up and running?\ 2. Can it be due to disagreements with OPEC policies and US dependence on foreign oil?\ 3. Can the production is due to wars US found itself, that is they were anticipating geopolitical changes thus ramping up the production?\ Not that I play naive, it is just that production just for sake of infinite growth does not seem so plausible any longer, to me at least.

If that is how you respond to thoughts or arguments, without breaking down what exactly you object to, then there is no difference between you and a spec of dust. Happy holidays.

Agree to disagree indeed.

> First you blame contemporary Native animal cruelty on European colonialism. Now you're saying it's ok because it's religious ? How dare you derive a conclusion that cannot be concluded from my premises, unless one assumes hidden variables, which you certainly did? How so? I did draw a clear connection between contemporary indigenous behaviour and European colonialism. I also postulated assertively that spiritual rituals among indigenous peoples have complex origins and functionalities. How you arrived at the assumption that I condone animal cruelty for religious purposes is for you to answer. As for the second part of my statement those examples, that you are willing to present, are tainted by Eurocentric bias and were derived through certain ethnographic styles.\ I can assert with certainty that Europeans during 18th and 19th century, whether colonialists or not, documented foreign cultures with a predisposed bias due to their environmental (social) influences.\ Anthropology in the 19th and the first half of the 20th century was marred by biases such as ‘social Darwinism’, cultural evolution stereotypes, and diffusionism. Many ethnographic documentations need to be revisited in light of a deeper understanding of human and social organization.

Absolutely. Logic, which performs the crucial role in all instances when the internal realm closely interacts with the external world, gives rise to specific schools of thought. Consequently, religion often becomes a predominant element, and a universal morality is imposed upon society. It is a significant misconception to assume that indigenous peoples were in harmony with their environment from the outset. It is more plausible that this harmony or symbiosis developed from catastrophic mistakes, followed by a specific type of logic (which leads to reason). It is no longer a subject of mysticism that humans can coexist in symbiosis with their immediate external environment, whether through empirical or rationalist means.

Oh I see. Yes corrupt philosophy. Draining it is to elucidate the profound contradictions in that philosophy. If we inherently bad, how come we still here. Rather shallow question yet when unpacked yield depth of complexity. I am Kantian when it comes to such complexities, I am of a strong assertion that there is a universal logic (ecological principle would be of great example here). If there is a universal logic it means humans can be friendly to ecological niches, which was the very outcome after ecological niches were driven to disastrous changes. Logic that emanates out of university is not static but evolving or ascending.

Rather reductive postulation of yours since my premise suggests a more broad implications. Many natives had complex spiritual experiences in which external environment had to be involved. You would agree, in spite of some form of agenda that resides in between the shadows of your belief, that there is a difference between killing an animal for greed and sacrificing an animal while attributing love and acknowledgment of wisdom to the ritual and spiritual connection.

I am suggesting precisely that. My suggestion does not invalidate more question the dog feast allusion made earlier. Midewiwin ceremonies had complex spiritual language, part of which dog feast was an element. What exactly that suppose to suggest? Cruelty? What are we debating here about concerning Midewiwin?

Human behaviour is not uniform in spite that it may seem so. It is correct to postulate that environmentally friendly attitude came or emanates after an ecological disaster caused by the hands of human existence. Does that invalidate the spectrum theory? I would argue that it is not. A logical progression is evident thus it is possible to live within the boundaries of ecological niche irrespective if there is a spiritual attribution or not.

Thus human behaviour in the environment given heavy consideration to the sheer complexity is a spectrum. Human history knows both extinction and stewardship

I appreciate your post for illuminating light onto the black and white fallacy. Humans are a factor but in prehistory rarely was the cause.

I am genuinely asking, what part of philosophically charged?
