Ja maar... als we dierenbeulen een levenslang houdverbod op kunnen leggen, waarom zouden we dan een #technofix willen in plaats van een levenslang rijverbod?

Bill Gates' #dumb climate idea

... governors in #western states have become enthralled by you and your team at Natrium to build a 345 MW sodium-cooled fast reactor ... asking state and national governments for billions of dollars to bankroll a “fast reactor” ... securing additional public funds for an unproductive #techno-solution that claims to solve the climate crisis! Your latest #technofix will not mitigate the climate crisis.

Another #technofix for #climatechange has arrived. A startup "has started successfully pulling #carbon dioxide from the air and burying it #underground.

Climeworks announced that it has sequestered #CO2 from the atmosphere using its facility in #Iceland .... The action was independently verified by risk management company DNV, and the resulting carbon credits were sold to #Microsoft, Shopify and Stripe, the startup's first corporate customers."

Yes we were about to ask about where you learned about the burying from @samuraikid@freeatlantis.com, as reflecting is not an issue in itself, here.

Nuance is so important in this debate though, and if we want to come to grips with how to do this in a way that actually works. We need to at least consider and balance all issues.

We can fully understand this man's distress at the continual #encroachment of human #technofix across natural landscapes – its why we talk so often about #LimitsToGrowth.

How long will it take to erase its *own* climate footprint - the embodied energy of construction, as well as the operating impact? #TechnoFix

Today the world's biggest carbon capture facility turned on. If it works, in one year it will capture three seconds worth of humanity's CO2 emissions... at incredible expense. I'm rooting for it, but only a fool would bet the planet on it. #EndFossilFuel

@vortex_egg In the off chance I've not mentioned it before, Michael & Joyce Heuesemann's Techno-Fix keeps reading absolutely spang-on-point every time I go back to it.

Most especially, I keep thinking "oh, it realy should have included this point", at which I (re)discover that it has.

There's a long other biography I think we've also discussed before: Adam Curtis, W. Brian Arthur, Foucalt, Neil Postman, etc., etc.

Hi Vidak,

There is a tendency on a so-called left to think, "if we can only just sing koombaya together or adopt this #technofix life all will be okay", this is #nihalism because everyone must then prescribe to that, eliminating all diversity and resiliency.

Please see #AlbertBartlett's lecture, we shared it previously.

I'm trying to think about it in terms of system dynamics and feedback loops.

This is a very solid approach, and addresses technology's impacts on society and civilisation.

There's also the questions of what technology IS and how it operates, neither of which seem to be well-formed that I can tell. I'm increasingly frustrated that there seems not to be a good philosophy or theory of technology generally. (Ellul, Foucault, Heidigger, Mumford, Schumpeter, and a few others try, though I find it weak sauce despite some good points). But definition and mechanism both address the good/evil/neutral question.

The work I keep returning to, and finding despite some weaknesses (very dry & technical) compelling strengths (excellent organisation and reasoning) is Michael and Joyce Heusemann's Techno-Fix. It's by technologists, though critical ones, and looks specifically to mechanism.

(3/3)… why the hunter-gatherer attitude to work may be more beneficial when it comes to #sustainability, #fulfilment from work and much more.

12 minutes or so in: https://www.rt.com/shows/going-underground/506344-trump-battles-election-result/

Does't touch on the #technoFix follies though. For that you need POTHumans we mentioned above.

Naast dat #klimaatontwrichting en #kolonialisme deels hand in hand gaan, en er dus gekeken moet worden naar de wortel van het probleem, ipv een rare #technofix, hebben de #klimaatjes ook veel te leren van de anti-racisme beweging.

Hmm.

The author of the article is suggesting just another #technofix, while screaming #ecofash.

#MichaelMoore's film is correct to talk about #populationGrowth.

We need to have this discussion.

Since the start of the year there's been about 30 million #unwantedBirths. A true injustice *still* being perpetrated by wealthy zealots who just want more #consumers and #cheapWorkers.

#cheapLabour #philippines #lithium #southAmerica #california #somalia #teenPregnancy #population

We just skimmed over the new #MichaelMoore #film/#documentary #PlanetOfTheHumans.

Wow.

This looks like worthy viewing, especially for #cityDwelling #greens who think they can continue #consumption, if only govt adopted <INSERT_LATEST_ PROPOSED_TECHNOFIX>

Unfortunately the film doesn't appear to provide solutions (hint: #education for #women globally, #contraception, access to #familyPlanning, #biodynamic #farming, #townMaking)
