#Lovelock

Next time you have to explain to someone why it’s better to not eat meat, you can tell them that it is to make sure that the next asteroid impact will not prevent electronic life from knowing the universe.

In his last book, "Novacene", #Lovelock is again both thought-provoking and outright insane.

But its ok. Let him be the vehicle for the universe to say crazy things about itself. My review:

This makes me think of Gaia, the theory of James Lovelock.

The Internet of Nature. Information exchange between prey and predator; between two species that eat the same food; or from the environment.

Say hello to Mrs. Rose

on an early winters day close to Christmas
Her motto is
*Enjoy it while you can*
In days gone by she listened
to James Lovelock
- she has aged with dignity
Christmas is for the congregation of busy people
🇸🇯Hils på fru Rose
på denne tidlige vinterdag mot jul
Hennes motto er
*Nyt det mens du kan*
I sine yngre dager tok hun hintet
fra James Lovelock
– hun har eldet med verdighet
Jula er for de travle som går i flokk

Close-up of a hoarfrosty wilted rose in sunshine, with all its curled bright red leaves intact. It is much like a face of an wrinkled old lady with a big smile. On top she wears a large hat of hoarfrost. The upper withered hoarfrosty grey-green leaves are the fashionable stylish dress on the upper body. Snow on the ground behind her. Further behind an old building with large small-paned windows.
🇸🇯Nærbilde av en rimete vissen rose i solskinn, med alle sine krøllete knallrøde blader intakt. Det er veldig nær å ligne et ansikt på en skrukkete gammel frue med et stort smil. På håret bærer en stor hatt av rim. De øverste visne rimete grågrønne bladene er det stilige, moteriktige antrekk på overkroppen.  Snø på bakken bak henne. Lenger bak en eldre bygning med store smårutede vinduer.

having read this piece on now I realise it's rather important stuff for - on the origin of the ideas that life on another planet can be detected by the off-equilibrium composition of its .

Also important to note that much of that came from , whose name was new to me.

This is a great story about how the Gaia hypothesis originated. And there's an uncredited woman (again) at its heart.

" ...it was a whole new way of thinking about life on Earth. ... life does not just adapt to the environment, it also shapes it. ... Life was no longer just a passive object of change; it was an agent. The couple ... were pioneers making an intellectual journey nobody had made before."

Good morning, #gaia theory and its author (s) - on the intellectual presence of #Hitchcock in #Lovelock's work. I guess relevant for @sts and reading #Latour's thinking with Gaia.

Wenn man just for fun einer banalen Idee folgend in die Suchmaschine die Worte Homo Sensorium eingibt (die verbundene Spezies aus #Sense8), nur um zu schauen, welche Ergebnisse ausser denen zu Sense8 es noch dazu gibt - und man dann über einen Text stolpert, der einen zu James #Lovelock|s und Lynn #Margulis #GaiaHypothese bringt.
Schätze, ich werd das mal lesen, schon viel zu oft darüber gehört. Klingt auf jeden Fall interessant. 🙃😊

Today marks 105 years since the birth of James #Lovelock and 2 years since he passed away. A major biography by @JonathanWatts is coming later this year, but for now, interested readers can revisit my four-parter on the #Gaia hypothesis:

"decades later, a huge amount of evidence has shown that some of the core tenets of what Lovelock was saying are indeed true"

#PrayerHorseRide's Third Annual March Ride Begins March 17, in Schurz, Nevada

Reconnecting and Revitalizing #Traditional Ways of Life Threatened by Destructive #Mining Resource Extractions Supporting "#GreenEnergy"

By Prayer Horse Ride, via #CensoredNews

SCHURZ, Nevada -- "Prayer Horse Ride "#NanesootuhinaPookooGoobakatudu," is getting ready to begin our annual ride March 17th-26th, from Schurz, #Nevada through Yerington, Fallon, Wadsworth and Nixon, through Lovelock, then Orovada, and ending in #PeeheeMuhuh (#ThackerPass in the McDermitt Caldera), in the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the #Paiute, #Shoshone, and #Bannock.
The Riders, walkers, and runners carry the prayer with each community. They'll move forward to raise awareness regarding lithium mining in Peehee Mu'huh and the McDermitt Caldera; AND also raise awareness to #CopperMining in the #PineNutHills, a holy place known to the #Nuwu; in honor and remembrance of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women / People (#MMIW/P) in Nevada; and to revitalize and restore cultural identity, languages, creativity, and supportive lifeways in our indigenous communities.

"Northern Nevada is the home of the #NorthernPaiute, #WesternShoshone, #Washoe, and #Bannock people. We, as descendants of them, will continue to give voices to the voiceless on #MotherEarth. To all of our relations.

"'We do this prayer ride to reconnect and revitalize our way of life,' says Josh Dini, Sr, a member of Walker River Paiute Tribe, #WaterProtector and #PrayerHorseRider, and a member of #AmericanIndianMovement Northern Nevada (#AIMNNV).

"Indigenous communities in the Great Basin and McDermitt Caldera are experiencing fast-tracked #mining and industrial development to support 'green energy,' and are threatened by #ecologically and #sociologically destructive resource extraction processes, most notably, #lithium and #copper mining, in areas in proximity to or within #communities, #reservations and #LandTrusts, and #SacredSites.

"#HeavyMetals extraction #poisons lands, air, and water. Sacred sites for ceremony, where ancestors are buried, where medicines grow, and where lifecycles are anchored, are destroyed.

"'Copper mining in our Pine Nut Hills takes away our knowledge and our identity of who we are,' says Dini, who explained the mining threatens an important Paiute medicine food, as well as numerous traditional campsites and sacred places that have been used for innumerable generations.

"'We ride in honor of the people on the land before extraction industries, past - present - and future. Here in Nevada we have places important to the indigenous culture that are considered America's sacrifice zones in search of 'green energy.'

"'We are Paiute and Shoshone allied with many of the federally recognized tribes in Nevada. We lead this prayer for Mother Earth,' says Gary McKinney, a Duck Valley Shoshone Paiute, water protector and Prayer Horse Rider, People of Red Mountain spokesperson, AIMNNV council member, and SIRGE Coalition Steering Committee member.

Prayer Horse Ride will visit #Indigenous northern Nevada communities affected by these issues including #WalkerRiver Paiute Tribe, #Yerington Paiute Tribe, #Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe, #Lovelock Paiute Tribe, and #PyramidLake Paiute Tribe. As Riders reach each community, they may share meals, engage in ceremony, share stories and songs, and teach and learn traditional arts, bringing the communities together to celebrate and remember the traditional ways.

"McKinney says, 'We ride to honor the land and the people - of the past, present, and the future. #LifeOverLithium."

"About Prayer Horse Ride: Established in 2022 to honor the late #MyronDewey, Water Protector, Paiute Shoshone journalist and drone pilot, and to continue prayers for cultural sites like Peehee Mu’huh (Thacker Pass), we are an indigenous led prayer group and community service organization that advocates for our indigenous communities, to protect what we have left and to raise your awareness to what our communities face, and most importantly, in gathering tribes back together to stand in unity, not by separation.

"'We'll continue this ride in the Vision of our Ancestors, for Healing, Strength and Awareness, in Prayer and Unity.'
