There are many ways of building a world view that remains consistent with continuing observations of the world around us: religion, science, philosophy. culture, history, economics, to name the most obvious.

My goal is to craft a personal world view that views humans and human activities as one with the natural world, such that we stop destroying and polluting natural habits and species that support all life on this planet.

Climate change isn’t a problem that can be solved by summoning the “will.” It isn’t a problem that can be “fixed” or “conquered,” though these words are often used. It isn’t going to have a happy ending, or a win-win ending, or, on a human timescale, any ending at all. Whatever we might want to believe about our future, there are limits, and we are up against them.

=======================

Only from deep acceptance can we arrive at meaningful changes an adjustments.

And only then.

Wilderness is a great idea. We should have more of that, in more places, connected by wildlife corridors through not wilderness places, less of them in more places.

Not for "future generations," but for itself, a place where natural processes, limitations and evolution can occur on their own terms, not to satisfy human greed and desire.

Why ecocentrism is the key pathway to sustainability.

https://mahb.stanford.edu/blog/statement-ecocentrism/

The Earth’s biodiversity and ecological integrity is being lost at an ever-increasing rate due to human impacts. The traditional, post-enlightenment Western anthropocentric worldview has failed to halt this (and is almost certainly responsible for it). Changing our worldview to ecocentrism however offers hope for solving the environmental crisis.

#Ecocentrism #Sustainability

I just stumbled across #ecocentrism. I think that might be me. Grew up surrounded by nature, and I seem to usually be the only person in the room who feels like boxes and flat surfaces are fundamentally unnatural.

https://mahb.stanford.edu/blog/statement-ecocentrism/

Are you ecocentric? How big a part of your life is it?

Declaration of Interdependence

Can #ecoentrism care seriously about non-human #sentient beings?

Maybe, but if "animals are still eaten [for human pleasure] & can still be killed in order to safeguard the balance of an ecosystem" then #ecocentrism is exposed as yet more #anthropocentrism

https://blogs.helsinki.fi/animallawblogseries/2023/05/04/do-rights-of-nature-include-animal-rights/

Environmentalism is protecting and defending the natural world, not supporting dodgy politicians, good paying jobs, environmental justice (for humans), clean water, food and air (for humans).

On the Differences Between Ecomodernism and Effective #Altruism

In short: an unscalable #ecocentrism, an unworkable longtermism, and an impractical anti-institutionalism.

#Introduction - I'm a non-social media writer looking for discussion on ecological human social organization, with reduced human population, steady state economy and degrowth philosophy.

Live simply so that all being can simply live.
