#sociology — Public Fediverse posts

Climate crumpling moves across political and geographic boundaries, but so do ideas, money, technologies, planning strategies, and political influence. Approaches to climate adaptation circulate between cities and organizations. Local communities respond to these outside influences in different ways. This creates a tension between networks of global planners and the experiences of people who actually live in the affected neighborhoods.

#sociology #climatechange

I now believe that evolution, or deevolution, never ends short of death, that no society has ever achieved an absolute pinnacle, that all humans are not created equal. In fact, I believe attempts to create some abstract equalization create a morass of injustices that rebound on the equalizers. Equal justice and equal opportunity are ideals we should seek, but we should recognize that humans administer the ideals and that humans do not have equal ability.
—Frank Herbert

Check out this great series of lectures by Ivan Zatz, my friend since CUNY Sociology, now retired office mate at Pratt. the book I always thought he should write. I remember many conversations between him and Stanley Aronowitz about Lefebvre. #CriticalTheory #Sociology #Marx #CulturalStudies

You should view his complete timetravel bicycleroute from Amsterdam to Japan... with his apocalyptic views and at the same time the beauty of humans.
I wonder what his views will be at the end of the road in Japan.
