A bunch of '#tech' bosses proposed a bunch of dastardly ideas to #UK #prisons minister, for implementation by 2050. Here are those:

- Realtime #tracking of #prisoners with #surgical_implants
- Using #AI to predict #crimes!
- #Robot prison guards

Here are the offenders:
- #Google
- #Microsoft
- #Amazon
- #IBM
- #Palantir (of course!)

Controlled-environment survival scenarios are farce. All that tech requires huge investment, available technology, tools and energy, people, lots of people but it can't reliably produce food without LOTS of chemicals. Nope. More fantasy and hopium. #LifestyleChange #SustainableLifestyle #DeepConservation #SustainableCommunities #ResilientCommunities #TransitionTowns #MutualAid #CareForEarth #permaculture

And for you science buffs, are you familiar with the fascinating concepts of "positive feedback loops" and "thresholds"? I have a hunch that we will be hearing more about these intriguing ideas In the future. (I think that's the near future.)

Me thinx it's high time to build the social pressure for dealing with this calamity in front of us (planetary heating + massive species extinction + everything else). So... pound by pound, let the pressure build. It's time to raise the psychological cost of ignoring this monster. Every hour. Every day.

@hydroponictrash This technology might benefit me greatly this summer. Power is limited (small photovoltaic) so I run a small fan, but my crooked wooden house bakes in the sun.

@BrentToderian Imagine a sustainable, empathetic society. Currently, it's about "the turning away." The turning away from vulnerable people. The turning away from our own natures (towards alienation). The turning away from our living planet.

Restructuring everyday lives to healthy, safe, fun sustainable lifestyles with meaningful relationships, robust community-level production, strong democracy and serious restraint on capitalist bullies.

@bethsawin

Thanks for mentioning indicators. Social and environmental indicators are key to community assessment, community development assessment and community development planning. They logically follow from planning (well-being) goals.

@uxmark Your design weblog site for Connolly Design is quite good. Thanks doing that stuff. GIS, too!! I use QGIS for my forestry work and permaculture design.

@bethsawin I sure wish someone in the admin would say it out loud: lifestyle change. Turns out they were wrong. The AWL is negotiable, and biology and physics are the negotiators.
