#otd in Parable of the Sower (https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/parable-of-the-sower_octavia-e-butler/249524) by Octavia E. Butler
"When apparent stability disintegrates,
As it must–
God is Change–
People tend to give in
To fear and depression,
To need and greed.
When no influence is strong enough
To unify people
They divide.
They struggle,
One against one,
Group against group,
For survival, position, power.
They remember the old hates and generate new ones,
They create chaos and nurture it.
They kill and kill and kill,
Until they are exhausted and destroyed,
Until they are conquered by outside forces,
Or until one of them becomes
A leader
Most will follow,
Or a tyrant
Most fear."

Oh shit.. I hadn’t read Octavia Butler’s Earthseed before.
She practically predicted Project 2025, and that it could lead to a christo-fascist America by 2032, where people can’t read, there’s no public schooling to speak of, and child labour is widespread.
It is a story of small groups of people living in the hills, trying to retain civilisation while America goes to war abroad… 🫣

CW: US Pol, Greenland, Minor Book Spoiler, Octavia Butler
In “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler, a demagogue elected US President whose slogan was “Make America Great Again” and encouraged an orgy of violence and Christian Nationalism was undone by an ill-conceived war in the Arctic to take territory and restore national greatness….

I read Octavia Butler's The Parable of the Sower and was touched.
Now I read her The Parable of the Talents and I just want to cry.
How close she was to writing a quarter of a century ago about one of the futures possible today.
How I wish this doesn't come true.

Ich habe Octavia Butlers Die Parabel vom Sämann gelesen und war berührt.
Nun lese ich ihr Die Parabel der Talente und möchte nur noch weinen.
Wie nahe sie vor einem Vierteljahrhundert über eine der heute möglichen Zukünfte geschrieben hat.
Wie sehr ich wünsche, dass das nicht wahr wird.

I looked down
And there you were…A resplendent moment.
A beautiful contrast.
The insistence of life.(And the reminder,
“God is change”). -

I finished reading Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler, I highly recommend it!
It was a difficult read for me at times, but in the end, I concluded that the journey was beautiful. It was great to read about community, love and compassion within a collapsing world.

Less than one year until #ParableOfTheSower. What would the equivalent of Back to the Future parties be for this occasion? #Earthseed rituals?

Though as an atheist, I found the quasi-religious aspect of #Earthseed disturbing and unnecessary. Though maybe I don't understand what motivates other people—my Freidenker/freethinker grandfather used to say that for some people, "the soup isn't thick enough," even with religion: they need astrology, palm-reading, paranormal, etc. #ScienceFiction #OctaviaButler -

The four rules seem to align with the central tenets of Earthseed:
- Learn from the past
- Respect the law of consequences
- Be aware of your perspective
- Count on the surprises
