I'm a climate scientist by trade. Interested in interesting things. Ecology, complexity, politics, social change, music.

  • Analyst says interest in Epstein files plummeted after war on Iran launched

    Jump

  • Interest from mainstream journalists, obviously, duh

  • We deserve better psyops.

    Jump

  • You should punch up though.

    (I agree this britney meme is trash)

  • Bacteria in the ocean are starting to eat plastic. Let's think about this

    Jump

  • I doubt that plastic in a well maintained state will rot fast. Wood rots quickly in the wild, but can last millennia in controlled conditions (kept clean and dry)

  • What band/artist have you seen live more than once, would gladly go see again, and what keeps you coming back?

    Jump

  • Opiuo. About 10 times, including at Festivals. Just fucking great dance music.

    Also Machine Gun Fellatio. Only 2 or 3 times, but what a show, even now they are all in their 50s

  • Under half of young Australians believe democracy is always a preferable form of government

  • I didn't join the revolution to read

    Jump

  • Agreed. And I think most of the anarchist-leaning folks I know would also agree.

  • I didn't join the revolution to read

  • I read it. I've been reading a lot of complex systems science lately, and it seems to have a lot of overlap, so perhaps it will stick a bit harder this time. Thanks :)

  • What would you do if our civilization regressed to the Neolithic age due to resource depletion due to global collapse?

    Jump

  • Fair point. I guess I will try to invent blacksmithing.

    (not that I think a return to the neolithic is a likely scenario - some knowledge will stick around, regardless of how far we fall in population, resources, and technology)

  • I didn't join the revolution to read

    Jump

  • Thanks. I'll try it, but I have zero faith it'll stick this time 😅

  • I didn't join the revolution to read

  • Eh. That's the difference between a complex system (politics) and a complicated system (the part of a human body where surgery is relevant). It's easier to write a manual for a complicated system and have it be correct and valuable. Complex systems not so much, not lease because every context is different and local knowledge is extremely valuable.

    I agree that theory is often useful. I don't think it always is though, and I think it can be misleading and wrong for a long time without anyone really noticing. I mean.. Neoliberal economics also has a lot of theory..

  • I have multiple Iranian friends. No one in Iran other than religious fundamentalists liked Khamenei, or his government. But they also (justifiably) don't trust the west. They feel trapped. Khamenei being removed is a problem not because he's gone, but because he leaves a vacuum that might get filled with something worse.

  • I didn't join the revolution to read

    Jump

  • Yeah, but so does just doing it. And talking to people about how to do it. The point isn't that people shouldn't read, it's that the should do (and shouldn't be prevented from doing because they can't or won't read).

  • I didn't join the revolution to read

    Jump

  • The all theory and no action crowd are definitely more annoying and proficient at taking over spaces and killing the vibe, in my experience (e.g. socialist alternative here in Aus)

  • I didn't join the revolution to read

    Jump

  • You can definitely explain most of those in a way a 5 year old could understand in under 20 minutes.

    Not dialectical materialism though. I've read about it and had it explained to me more time than I can count, and my brain refuses to hold on to what it means.

  • Is there a program for tracking IEEE reference numbers and adjusting their order?

    Jump

  • Zotero

  • What would you do if our civilization regressed to the Neolithic age due to resource depletion due to global collapse?

    Jump

  • Blacksmithing

  • What would you do if our civilization regressed to the Neolithic age due to resource depletion due to global collapse?

    Jump

  • Which one?

  • I mean... she's right.

    Jump

  • Also Manifest Destiny

  • GOP Sen. Ted Cruz says, "Let's stop attacking pedophiles" during Congress speech

    Jump

  • I don't think that's what Cruz was talking about
