"The philosopher Kohei Saito speaks...about his book Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto. A critique of our insufficient response to the climate crisis, Slow Down aptly points to capitalism—its race for profits and endlessly expansive production—as the chief cause of our present emergency. The cure is not a green capitalism...but rather degrowth: a vision for reorganizing labor, production, and consumption..."

The Philosopher's Stone:
A very common symbol in Alchemy is The Philosopher’s Stone. What is it?
The (let's abbreviate) PS like many alchemical symbols has many meanings.
The most common meaning refers to the final product of the alchemical transformation. This could be the material worked upon or the alchemists themselves.
There are often magical or miraculous properties attributed to the PS. It may be a super pure gold or a medical wonder cure.
It is often used as a “seed material" added to the Prima Materia to start the next cycle of transformation.
When these attributes describe the Alchemist, the practitioner becomes noble like the gold or a healer of body and spirit. He may be the ”seed” and pass his wisdom on to others. The PS may be a reconstituted body thereby conquering death.
If the practitioner is religious the PS may be a manifestation of a god or goddess.
If this is the case the interesting angle here in contrast to most common manifestations is that the actualized Spirit or Deity is produced from the Material (or Person) being worked on and is not drawn from any supernatural realm. The Spirit is considered as released from the material world. This attitude can create a feeling of relation or equality between the Material and Spiritual planes of existence.
Some images related to the PS are:
The Squared Circle, Cross, Adam (abstract human), Gold, Grail, Red (color), Gem, Resurrection, King's Son, Fruit, Stone, Child, Treasure
The Squared Circle figure- I see the triangle as “ relation" the square as “solidity" and the circle as “infinity". The symbol then is infinity contained in the material.

The philosophers Armen Avanessian and Mark Fisher meet in Innsbruck at a Zirbelstuben-like venue to talk over Semmeln and coffee about smartphones, depression and the ambiguities of academic life.

Philosopher: "For all your science your beleifs are no better than a flat disc on the back of elephants resting on a turtle's back"
Astronomer: "Even without science that makes no sense, what is the turtle resting on top of!"
Philosopher: "Another turtle, its turtles all the way down!"
Astronomer: "See, that is just absurd, how could anyone believe that!"
Philosopher: "What does your science say keeps the earth and the moon fixed to each other?"
Astronomer: "Gravity, the moon orbits around the earth, or rather, the center of mass between the earth and the moon, its just an orbit"
Philosopher: "Then what does your earth orbit?"
Astronomer: "The center of the solar system."
Philosopher: "And the solar system?"
Astronomer: "The center of the galaxy!"
Philosopher: "And where does it end, what is at the end of this logic"
Astronomer with a defeated look on his face: "Its orbits, just orbits... It.. is... orbits, all the way down."

Happy birthday to #philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) who, amongst other things speculated about a teapot orbiting in space. This lino block print of Russell’s Teapot is part of my series of Imaginary Friends of Science of charismatic thought experiments. In this case, the alledged china teapot, in orbit between Earth and Mars is an analogy by philosopher Bertrand Russell to make the case that the 🧵
