Emissions, fossils fuels & deforestation are symptoms - not causes like overpopulation, cows & cars. That we discuss symptoms only is a feature and not a bug.
Mitigation & adaptation are the same:
- Birth control
- Plant based
- Local
- Low tech
- In a way, I totally get it that we can't react to this at all. Our culture has not educated or prepared us to process what this is. We refuse to accept that everything we do now is #exponential: -90% good and +1% bad = exponentially worse
- There is no hiding on the Titanic. Unless we grow our own food in nature - we are living in a #bunker and we live a system based on #slavery and entitlement (racism / sexism / speciesism). No elite has ever survived a similar situation in the history of womankind.
- We can't hide on the Titanic. This time, it's not a few kings who are responsible for a needless war. We all are. The poor want to be rich - they don't want to change the system to be equal and sustainable. Unless we see the monster in us first, we can't complain about other people who may be worse?
- #Socrates and #Plato argued that a civilization that eats animals cannot last and be happy. By definition and maths. Why Because #Phytagoras (sphere, not flat, #vegan) and #Eratosthenes (252,000 stadia) were real to both Socrates and Plato. #climae #collapse #overshoot #science
- The 🔢 we look at out-of-context desperately hide that everything is #EXPONENTIAL. Eliot Jacobson blocked me for this notion? We treat +1% more XYZ as if the Earth were flat & infinite & time didn't exist. When there is 90% less old-growth: +1% population & deforestation = e x p o n e n t i a l
- We need system change to #survive: - Birth control - Plant based food & housing - Local & low tech This ain't gonna happen: - People with kids don't promote birth control - People who eat animals don't promote plant based - People with cars who fly and use computers don't promote local & low tech
- When we are ok and at peace if we were to die today - we can still experience a good life before death. Entitled narcissists view the limits of life that give life its value as a personal insult. This is no way to live.
- Death preparation is #13 of the benefits of #collapse acceptance and the best way we can prepare for life before death imo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iat7...
- Because we are afraid of death and missing out, we can't live a good life that makes survival possible in the first place. #DeathStar
- If you want to understand why a #bunker or #prepping are the same as denial of climate & biosphere #collapse - read this 🧵 below. “Activities are not moving toward a genuine solution if they are carried out solely in reaction to the over development of the present age.” ― Masanobu Fukuoka
- #Epstein trickles up, not down.
