However, while Benjamin writes against the grain in the name of the oppressed, the proletariat, Graeber and Wengrow appear to do so in the name of ‘freedom’."

They know the #breakdown of #civilisation is coming; they've known for #decades. Hence the #PrivateIslands #Stockades and #Bunkers

Le #climat c'est ce qui donne donne un ensemble de conditions permettant la vie.
L'#energie c'est ce sur quoi est fondée toute notre #civilisation moderne, ainsi que son objectif ultime : la #croissance.
Avec ces deux éléments en crise, tout s'effondre. Et nous ne sommes pas prêts.

I enjoy a long podcast. I was listening to the fully charged podcast and got a heads up to the fall of civilisation series.
https://fallofcivilizationspodcast.com/
It’s excellent and a reminder that humankind has peaked and ebbed over centuries.
Helps me better cope with the gradual car crash of our changing climate.

Civilisation is not a linear progression from savagery to sophistication. It is a complex and diverse phenomenon that emerged independently in different regions and times. The conventional narrative of civilisation is based on biased and outdated assumptions that ignore the evidence of archaeology, genetics, and anthropology. Civilisation is a rich and varied tapestry of human cultures.

With all the media stories of how #ai will kill us the Pessimists Archive is a good antidote. It seems the #bicycle was once a threat to #civilisation. https://pessimistsarchive.org/

It's not easy to put deeply spiritual or personal experiences into words.
Whilst some music includes language ( #singing #rap, etc), music is not the written word (music contains more elements). Virtually all the music I listen to has been produced by using #mathematics #ElectronicMusic #SoundSynthesis #computers

L'auteure dit : "moi je me sens d'une gauche sociale-démocrate. réformiste, républicaine, laïque, universaliste, partisane de la liberté d'expression, qui est un des très grand courant de la gauche et je ne me sens absolument pas représentée par la gauche radicale qui elle soutient le wokisme et qui à mon avis est en train d'ouvrir un boulevard à l'extrême droite."
