#breccia — Public Fediverse posts

What I'm reading:
#breccia discussing society as a phase change- "There is a line. Cross it, and the arithmetic flips. The people gaming the system start to outnumber the people holding it up. Every honest person left standing starts to feel like a sucker. Then that person stops being honest, which moves the line again. Then the next person adjusts. Then the next."

Interesting colors and contrast between #sedimentary layers and #igneous intrusions in the Gravel Hills of the #Mojave Desert.
From Tom Dibblee (1968),
https://openlibrary.org/books/OL256760M/Geology_of_the_Fremont_Peak_and_Opal_Mountain_quadrangles_California
the layers are part of the Pickhandle and Barstow formations laid down in the Miocene. The darker purplish rock is an intrusion of #rhyolitic #breccia.
If the rock colors appear familiar you may have seen similar combinations of these formations in the Opal Mountains, Rainbow Basin, and Calico Mountains near Barstow, CA.
