relationship with context collapse

Presentism bias enters biblical and religious studies when, by way of context collapse, readers apply texts written thousands of years ago and applicable to one context to their own current context without any appreciation for the intervening changes. Many modern Christians (especially Protestants) show these patterns. There is an interesting irony here because Protestantism began as the Catholic church was reading too much into the Bible to create practices like indulgences.)

Ecotopia: The Notebooks and Reports of William Weston by Ernest Callenbach (1975)

Note that this was published in the same year as The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey

Aram Zucker-Scharff indicated that this was one of his favorite books on the climate crisis and has interesting consequences for both individual and group action. He said it might make an interesting pairing with Palo Alto (@Malcolm2023).

It came up as we were talking about the ideas of climate crisis in the overlap of The Monkey Wrench Gang.

Might also be interesting with respect to @Hoffer2002 [1951].

Malcolm, Harris. Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World. New York: Little, Brown and Company, 2023. https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/malcolm-harris/palo-alto/9780316592031/.

Recommended by Aram Zucker-Scharff to potentially be read with respect to How to Blow up a Pipeline.

Jacques Attali's work apparently considering noise and advertisements "violence".

Link to the the idea of ecoterrorism in The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey and burning down billboards.

Potentially interesting with respect to @Linsky2023
