Intellectual work is no longer strictly a human affair. It is now distributed across complex assemblages of humans, algorithms, and planetary-scale datasets. This transformation may mark the moment when the so-called "postmodern condition" finally arrives.
How can we protect democracy from capital, not the other way around?
Radical Abundance: How to Win a Green Democratic Future @kaiheron.bsky.social @kmilb.bsky.social @bertrussell.bsky.social @abundance-org.bsky.social @plutopress.bsky.social reviewed by Ivan Radanović @lsereviewofbooks.bsky.social
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
In this episode, Nate speaks with primatologist and author @christinewebb.bsky.social about human exceptionalism – the deeply embedded belief that humans are separate from and superior to the rest of nature.

If Americans don’t start fighting back against the Epstein class running their country I fear this is inevitable.
Israel should NOT nuke Iran!!!
Read the whole post man.
The point is they are considering it because Iran’s missiles are now getting through their defence.
Iran has more firepower than the imperial forces realized. Israel is about to be in SERIOUS danger.
We have never been closer to WWIII. If Israel nukes Iran Russia will enter the fray in full force.
This is what the American Empire has brought upon us all.
Extreme heat is becoming a major global health threat, making even light outdoor activity unsafe in many regions. New research shows risks are rising fastest for older adults and vulnerable communities, a trend that is redefining what safe daily life looks like. https://nature.ly/47BkmIm
Methane venting is not some avoidable mistake. It's a baked in part of gas extraction + processing.
If we continue to extract gas & oil, no way round it, we will be releasing vast amounts of this incredibly potent greenhouse gas.
We have to stop extracting fossil fuels, now.
The U.S Epstein Alliance is driving this world to the brink in order to be able to continue amassing wealth and raping children.
Unfortunately, things are about to get real real dangerous for most U.S citizens via blowback.
the worst and most incompetent people at the most important time in human history
well, it's time to start supporting the rise of the squid and the raccoons
Looking forward to reading your comments!
I think the question we must ask now is: if machine intelligence is going to be able to produce much more sophisticated and well-sourced knowledge than human brains, shouldn't we start thinking about what kinds of cognition and wisdom we actual will need and want to develop going forward?
I think that is exactly the right question. If machine intelligence is going to be able to produce much more sophisticated and well-sourced knowledge than human brains, maybe we should start thinking about the kinds of cognition and wisdom we need and want to have going forward?
Thanks for sharing.

A new paper, by an international team of researchers, reviews the latest evidence and says global temperatures must cool to around 1°C above pre-industrial levels in the long term. tinyurl.com/52xyujnf
“A Canadian oil and gas industry group is backing a proposal to consolidate Alberta's two largest river basins, a move that would make it easier for industry to transfer water in that area without requiring legislative approval.”

Solar farms could increase global crop yields by hundreds of billions of pounds, thanks to the protective microclimate created beneath their panels.

From @newscientist.com:
“Since 2014, the planet has been warming by about 0.36°C per decade, according to an analysis of five temperature datasets, raising fears that climate tipping points could be crossed earlier than expected.”

The Epstein class continues to push their agenda of profit before people and planet by cutting down crucial old growth forests.

“Ecological modernization as a theory and a practice has thus come to stand principally for an anti-ecological stance in that it puts capitalist social relations before issues of humanity and nature, while the accumulation of capital remains the supreme object of the system.”

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
