Tranches de vie: C'est fou comment dans un couple (pourtant ensemble depuis 25 ans) les craintes et les désirs peuvent différer (Duh!)
Exhibit A: ma blonde a mal dormi au petit matin car elle entendait la pluie tomber et elle se disait "oh! c'est triste, la neige va fondre"
Alors que moi, je rêve d'un Noël sur le gazon vert pour que cette humanité se sorte la tête du cul et assume la destruction qu'elle a amené. 🤣

А м'ясо возити для штурмів? А снаряди для м'яса? Немає снарядів і м'яса теж не багато залишилось? От тупі. Так можна ж вантажі, які ще залишилися, подрібнити на невеличкі частинки (по одній коробці) і возити всіма автомобілями. Просто припинити рахувати перевезення тонно-кілометрами, а почати — мото-годинами #laptyekanda #collapse #economic
“Why does 'Israel' need a regional war to try to survive?”

“In this greater isolation of the Israeli regime as it moves toward catastrophic devastation, the great unknown is whether the button for ‘Israel's’ nuclear weapons is controlled in Washington or is for the exclusive use of Tel Aviv”

Many folks seem to think we are making good progress electrifying everything and are on track to phase out fossil fuels by around 2050.
I would like to bring this article to people’s attention.
https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/08/23/is-there-enough-metal-to-replace-oil/
The question is, can we mine enough metals to fully support the transition to “renewable” technology?
As the article says: “The short answer: No, not even close!” (1/4)

This is 100% the fault of #republicans #gop who brought the dangerously #criminal Trump and #MAGA to power.
The #Republican party is responsible for everything these #traitorous #sick #deranged #extremists do.
One of the books I am reading is "The Seneca Effect" from Ugo Bardi. The basic idea is that systems often exhibit slow growth followed by rapid decline.
In the first chapter about the collapse of the Roman Empire he argues that the Romans ran out of silver and gold coins which they used to buy silk from the Silk Road. This contradicts another book I am reading from Kyle Harper named "The Fate of Rome" which argues that the "Late Antique Little Ice Age" and the plague caused the collapse. Can both be true? Well the causality of #collapse can be complicated 🙂
The Seneca Effect itself is simple to understand. It describes a system dynamics where a quantity builds up slowly but collapses quickly once limits are reached. To explain the Seneca Effect Ugo Bardi uses a three part food chain model (similar to the Hastings-Powell model which exhibits chaotic dynamics). But the basic idea of the Seneca Effect is simple to explain: the more we #overshoot a system, the more rapid the collapse and decline which inevitably follows. Overshoot means we deny the actual state of resources and try to consume more although resources are actually declining.

Book Review: How Democracies Die
This 2017 book prophesied the oligarchy that is plausible before November 2026.
Despite this book being very popular and its ominous warning, the USA still went in this direction.
So what went wrong?

I'm finding Luke Kemp's "Goliath's Curse" very uneven. He's really good on an anarchist perspective on the rise of inequality side by side with farming and state formation, using recent archaeological research, but he seems to have lapped up the AI doomer narrative, treating "non-aligned AGI" as a credible risk. In reality, doomerism is a calculated distraction from the real harms being caused today by currently existing AI - and he's weak on this.
He also doesn't do his own credibility any good by namechecking "effective altruism" charlatan Toby Ord and racist AI doomer Nick Bostrom, both of University of Oxford's discredited "Future of Humanity" institute.
Kemp himself is affiliated with the University of Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. https://www.cser.ac.uk/people/team/. I see Yuval Noah Harari is involved, and he's another doomer I can no longer take seriously.
A look at Luke Kemp’s Goliath’s Curse and why, across history, strong community—not elites—provides the best defense against societal collapse.
