Addicted to Nonsense INDEED! AKA Hubris of the humanities...

...it happened before in societies that collapsed, it's going to happen again, I'm afraid. I speak of the Hohokam in AZ in 3BC who, in spite of not raising domesticated animals and only used wood modestly, a life 'apparently' based on sustainability, with the increase in population food became scarce, environmental changes, imposition of irrigation strategies/over-farming and social responses, er 'ceremonial activities' weakened their system's resilience and made their system vulnerable to the climate extremes. And the Norse society in Greenland in the 1720s sticking to established patterns, elaborating on its churches and 'ideological conditioning' of the population instead of its hunting skills. And so it goes today... After my mid-20s, I didn't subscribe to this societal nonsensical crap that's dished-out on the eeidiot boxes. I'm just trying to get my ducks in a row, and be ready to do what I can to start mopping up the mess that wil...

CONG, COP15, bureaucratic domination, enslaving debt

I was never comfortable wearing someone's badge of compliance for corporations, or securing that 'union card' to learn, be published in some elitist scientific journal filled to the gills with copy the masses couldn't comprehend, so I could accept bureaucratic domination and enslaving debt. What's the use of getting this graduate degree when it's not going to make any difference anyway? If the CONG (coal oil nooklar and natural gas) conglomerates have their way, NOTHING will come out of the Copenhagen COP15 (no tax assessed on carbon) that will secure improving prospects for renewable energy technologies—well, not until CONG eeps every last drop of their investments. Notice how when REs take off a smidgen, price of petrol goes down? Yessirree, being in debt to the eyeballs is slavery of the 21st century. Thank you consumerism of damn near everything. We are citizens no more in this nation, merely consumers. PREPARE. RESPOND. ADAPT.

On fear...

How many things have you not done in life because of fear? How many things do you firmly believe you are incapable of? Fear is the main limiting factor in most peoples lives. Fear of failure, of success, fear of change, of responsibility… Our social structures encourage us to suppress our full potentials in favor of compliance with “the norm”, a norm which includes little space for growth and self-worth. By challenging ourselves to surpass our fears we create space for those around us to do the same. I am often told I am intimidating, that people fear me. All I have to to be 'afforded' this 'title' is walk into a room. I get this, just because I am not 'of the familiar', possess a powerful presence essence, am physically big boned, not sore on the eyes, spit good spit, and have my shit together. This is troubling, because I am expected to be innocuous, docile and demure , er subjugate myself for the 'comfort zones' of others. Truthfully, I think we ar...

The inspiration that lead me to this 'place'...

It was my recent The Vortex :: American Workaholics DFILM that instigated this. I figured most of you just delete my emails anyway without reading them. Lord knows you wouldn't want your employer catching you reading some of my rebellious rants. ;^) Come (or don't come) as often as you like, when you like and when you can get away with slacking off. Praise Bob! PREPARE. RESPOND. ADAPT.

Eschewing Futile Dichotomies

Yo, As sordid and perhaps shameful as this is going to sound, I actually think this nation, er the US of Empire, needs to be run into the ground, because I REALLY do not think the lay person is going to comprehend the need until the majority of folks have been rendered uncomfy for a great while. We're living in a first world nation with a third world infrastructure. And, there is NO DOUBT in my mind, in the years to come, shit's gonna break HARD. I think we will require a New Deal Plan to invoke more fortified renewable energy (RE) measures and rebuild our infrastructure. Period. It's just human nature to be short-sighted and fearful. I get it. So bring on the repercussions of the complicity, so we can get on with the order of business of destroying everything--too much DAMN testosterone running this space ship, so bring it on and let's just get it over with. Then we can rebuild (if we haven't obliterated everything in the process--cockroaches should still be ok...
