summary - polycrisis - requires a shift in stories - from little self - to big self - from - Emergence Magazine - interview - An Ethics of Wild Mind - David Hinton - We think of ourselves as this little bubble of obsessions and memories going on in our head detached from everything else - THAT'S THE WOUND! - That sounds and IS FELT as bleak, isn't it? - The scientific story of the cosmos is that there are countless solar systems in our universe, countless suns and planets over vast time scales - Our planet evolved life billions of years ago - Some of those life forms became multicellular animals, like us - Some of them developed eyes, nose, ears, skin and a brain and central nervous system - When we look out into the world, it is the cosmos distilled in us looking out at itself - Hence, we are intertwingled and woven into the fabric of everything - the cosmos in human form experiencing the cosmos itself - When we think about our extinction, it is also the cosmos thinking about extinction - When we feel ANYTHING, that's the cosmos feeling it - And WHEN WE DIE that is the cosmos in this human form dying to itself

history - connection stories that challenge the Genesis control story - Indigenous elders of North America share stories with some Westerners in the United States and Canada - These are shared in Europe and become popular, especially amongst intellectuals - It was refreshing to hear an account of nature that wasn't considered evil and that had to be tamed and brought into God's order - Alexander von Humboldt wrote some of these and was widely read - Thoreau, WHitman and Rousseau read Humboldt - British and German Romantics such as Wordworth, Shelly and Coleridge are also influenced by it and see the rediscovery of the wonder of nature as an antidote to the alienation of the industrial age - Completing the circle, American intellects Thoreau and Emerson read the Romantics, in turn influencing Whitman and John Muir

key insight / summary - roots of anthropomorphism - Greek and Christian narratives - The Greeks defined the soul - The Genesis story established that we were the chosen species and all others are subservient to us - From that story, domination of nature becomes the social norm, leading all the way to the existential polycrisis / metacrisis we are now facing - This underscores the critical salience of Deep Humanity to the existential polycrisis - exploring the roots of language and how it changes our perceptions of reality - showing us how we construct our narratives at the most fundamental level, then buy into them

adjacency - between - sense of separation - first - settling down - human place - second - transition from oral to written language - adjacency relationship - Interesting that I was just reading an article on language and perception from the General Semantics organization: General Semantics and non-verbal awareness - The claim is that the transition from oral language to written language created the feeling of interiority and of a separate "soul". - This is definitely worth exploring!

explore claim - the transition from oral language traditions to writing led us to form the sense of interiority and of a "soul" separate from the body - This claim, if we can validate it, can have profound implications - Writing definitely led us to create much more complex words but we were able to do much more efficient timebinding - transmitting knowledge from one generation to the next. - We didn't have to depend on just a few elders to pass the knowledge on. With the invention of the printing press, written language got an exponential acceleration in intergenerational knowledge transmission. - This had a huge feedback effect on the oral language itself, increase the number of words and meanings exponentially. - There are complex recipes for everything and written words allow us to capture the complex recipes or instructions in ways that would overwhelm oral traditions.

He identifies agriculture as the first of three major cultural separation events that led to our modern form of alienation - The development of a human place had humble beginnings but today, these places are "human-made worlds" that are foreign to any other species. - The act of settling down in one fixed space gave us a place we can continually build upon, accrue and most importantly, begin and continue timebinding - After all, a library is a fixed place, it doesn't move. It would be very difficult to maintain were it always moving.

Globetrotting Boy Detective by [[Jerry Michalski]]

Also in this pantheon, though later, are Where in the World Is Carmen San Diego and Wild Kratts.

The Mad Scientists' Club was in the genre, but with less globetrotting.

Für eine neue Studie wurden die Klagen gegen climate washing, also gegen falsche Angaben von Unternehmen und Organisationen über die von ihnen verursachten Emissionen, erfasst. Global haben diese Prozesse in den letzten Jahren enorm zugenommen, wobei die Zahl der Prozesse etwa zum Ende der Amtszeit von Donald Trump in den USA am schnellsten wuchs. Die Verurteilungen, zu denen es bereits gekommen ist, führen aufgrund der mit ihnen verbundenen Kosten zu Veränderungen bei den Unternehmen.

Vier NGOs haben den französischen Öl- und Gaskonzern TotalEnergies vor einem französischen Strafgerichtshof wegen des Pipeline-Projekts EACOP in Ostafrika verklagt. Das Vorgehen des Konzerns habe Ökozid-Qualitäten. Die Kläger berufen sich u.a. auf die Forderung der IEA, keine neuen fossilen Projekte mehr zu entwickeln. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/climat/totalenergies-vise-par-une-plainte-au-penal-pour-son-mega-projet-petrolier-en-ouganda-et-en-tanzanie-20231002_NBNQ6FM2XNA2PBSACL4VY6EZDM/

In Kanada sind insgesamt 1000 Waldbrände aktiv, von denen 624 nicht unter Kontrolle stehen. Bisher sind 12,3 Millionen Hektar abgebrannt – das ist mehr als die Fläche Österreichs oder Portugals. In Neu-Schottland kam es in den letzten Tagen außerdem zu extremen Regenfällen. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/climat/feux-hors-de-controle-12-millions-dhectares-detruits-mort-dun-pompier-le-point-sur-les-incendies-au-canada-20230730_JPZA6I4VAZAU5DFLDDPYCK4TEM/

Bei den Waldbränden im Mittelmeerraum bedroht nicht nur das Feuer selbst die dort lebenden Tiere. Viele verhungern in den auf einen Brand folgenden Wochen. Für die Artenvielfalt sind die Brände bisher nicht so gefährlich wie Pestizide und andere Umweltfaktoren, die in den letzten 30 Jahren zum Rückgang der Insekten um 75% und der Vögel um zwei Drittel geführt haben. Wiederholte Brände schaden vor allem dem Boden. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/biodiversite/incendies-en-mediterranee-prise-au-piege-des-flammes-la-faune-locale-suffoque-20230728_GPVMDAUVA5C2PNNKCNDDEJGTBQ/

In Portugal hat zum zweiten Mal in wenigen Jahren ein Waldbrand den Naturpark von Sintra-Cascais in der Nähe von Lissabon getroffen. Die häufigen Waldbrände bedrohen die Biodiversität und gefährden endemische Arten.,https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/biodiversite/forets-incendiees-au-portugal-le-probleme-cest-la-repetition-et-le-laps-de-temps-entre-deux-feux-20230730_E3V3WVUZSVCALNCENQBJYEY7HM/

Die Waldbrände in Alberta haben die Öl- und Gasproduktion aus Ölsanden unterbrochen und den Ölpreis nach oben getrieben. Waldbrände, die durch die globale Erhitzung zunehmen, werden voraussichtlich immer mehr auch zu einem Risikon für die Produktion fossiler Brennstoffe. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/17/climate/canada-wildfires-fracking-oil-gas.html

Starting yeast from scratch

• Use a approx. 1 qt "breathable" jar
  • need breathability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide
• equal parts water and flour (by weight)
  • (~2 tbsp water and 3 tbsp flour)
  • alternately use unsweetened pineapple juice in stead of water (lowers ph and provides additional natural sugar for yeast)
  • (for water, used distilled or highly filtered as tap water can have chlorine and other chemicals which make it more difficult for yeast to get started)
• stir and set aside
  • stir three times per day
• every day add 2 tbsp water and 3 tbsp flour
• bubbling should begin after 3-5 days

Ongoing feeding and maintenance

• can keep in fridge to slow down reaction and feed only once a week for small batch baking
• if doing baking more frequently, feed it every day
• When using, use up half of the overall quantity and then continue feeding as before

Vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Waldbrand-Katastrophe in Alberta bespricht der Guardien John Vaillants Buch Fire Weather. Es behandelt den großen Brand von FortMcMurray 2016 und stellt dar, wie sich Intensität und Qualität von Waldbränden durch die globale Erhitzung verändern. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/10/fire-weather-john-valliant-new-book-alberta-wildfire
