augustus pugin ?>More protests and riots, please. Tumbrels and guillotines, too. Écrasez l’infâme. Tear down the criminal regime and it’s lackeys.if a friendly biology professor like PZ Myers can be radicalized into being a terrorist from non-stop political propaganda just imagine what effect that stuff actually has on low-IQ people
@shmibs@lain > The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has also stated that "a 'runaway greenhouse effect'—analogous to [that of] Venus—appears to have virtually no chance of being induced by anthropogenic activities."[27] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaway_greenhouse_effectalso CO2 lags temperature, not the other way around, Lake Vostok data showed this
@lain one cool thing that gets lost on people is that a lot of narratives you hear about evolved through continuous selection process, and are not just one static thing being pushed by one group or other, you have institutions that get more budget and financing when they can prove an immediate emergency that select for sensational sounding stories which creates mass panic and puts pressure on the people who allocate more money to the people who were pushing the stories and the feedback loop just keeps growing with seemingly no limiting principle
i love the phrase "excess of civilisation" i think it captures of lot of problems we're experiencing. systems, institutions build up and up and get a life of their own and often get diverted from their original causes. the violent defensive instinct in man pre-figures the existence of a military institution that supposedly directs those instincts. institutional dysfunction is like societal organ failure. you can take them away and the instincts that build the original institutions will still remain.
institutions are good for coordinating to solve problems, division of labour etc. but if they become too abstract or overreaching then things can get real fucked real fast. the best military in the world is the worst military in the world if it's controlled by someone that doesn't know how to use it. and breaking everything down doesn't need to be a bad thing or an end state if your aim is to build everything back up again.
