    This is a really interesting interview discussing the potential issues of “AI” reliance…
    #TheGreatSimplification

  6. Oh wow. Nate Hagen debunks 10 myths still taught in biz schools & economics classes – and describes their bad effects on our cultures, our ethical norms, and on the natural environment we're but a part of.
    So satisfying! We should say EconObscene, not Anthropocene! youtube.com/watch?v=GkIedVEkQZ

    His way of illustrating his talk with charts and photos and stuff is also very neat.

    If you don't know Nate Hagen yet, maybe check out his podcast #TheGreatSimplification and search for researcher names in his guest list you know. He talks to all kinds of researchers, social, medical, natural, economics, engineers, climate, everything. thegreatsimplification.com/pod

    He has a Phd in economics (in fact, he mentions the topic of his thesis in the talk above), used to work as stockbroker or something, until he got fed up with the narrow, surreal focus of economics.

    It is TOO EARLY for local currencies, but THE TIME IS RIPE for _local food Initiatives_

    Thought regarding "Treat others as you will that they treat you":

    Harming ourselves harms those held onto us, so treat yourself as others wish you to benefit.

    Thinking about how smoking tobacco impacts myself and others, too.

    BUTTTTT I refuse to initiate works on the Hawai'ian islands. That is criminally ceded native land. I will, however, do what I can to help native Hawai'ians to build up their own co-op

    Re: "Fuel (Concept)"

    Fossil Fuel, Natural/Greenhouse Gas, Coal — DIRTY Fuel (not energy until consumed).

    Sunlight, Water- & Air-flow, Heat Gradients, Biodiesel (recycled from organic wastes) — CLEAN Fuel.

    We need to divest from the color-coding of Good v Bad.

    Greenwashing and whitewashing, if inverted, become "red washing" and "black washing". Neither of those sounds pleasant to the Western superpsyche bc of racist histories.

    If we can lessen color-association with health, we free ourselves from the biases implanted in us that encourage us to pursue false advertising.

    I would really like to work with you to build a chart of our local ecological dependencies:

    I.e., upon which other forms of life do the lifeforms in our ecological habitats depend?

    By fortifying the bases of the transespecial fuel chain, we secure our environment and assure both nature and ourselves of success and succession.

    The 5 Rs:

    Reconnect (to others as primary, and to nature — practical and spiritual).
    Rethink.
    Resist.
    Renew.
    Rejoice.

    Study HEALTHY people, not only the traumatized.

  11. I loved this two-hour(!) conversation with Oxford professor Iain McGilchrist, entitled “Wisdom Over Power: Why Contemplation & Wonder Are Essential for the Future of Humanity”.
    Wide-ranging, but never boring, it takes you on a journey through the brain, spirituality and the power we all have to improve the well-being of our communities and the wider world.

  17. I'm always threatening one of these days I'll write a book called "The world's last modern country".

    -- Dougald Hine

    (On "The Great Simplification" 12 Feb 2025)

    #Quotes #DougaldHine #TheGreatSimplification

  18. 👉 L'effondrement (ou #TheGreatSimplification) est un processus, pas un événement. Il est en cours.

    👉 Des points saillants sont néanmoins identifiables. La perte des glaces arctiques est prochaine (d'ici 20 ans, aka arctic BOE) et entraînera un dérèglement inusité du climat, notablement dans l'hémisphère nord où est située la majorité des surfaces agricoles. Une explosion du prix des aliments est à prévoir, si on ne retire pas "du marché" les denrées essentielles.

    5/n

  19. Check this out: it's really, really good.

  20. This #TheGreatSimplification episode is @NJHagens at his very best: from domination to partnership societies with Riane Eisler. Societal change, ultimately, will be to move away from our hierarchical possessive relationships toward a culture of care.

  21. Fascinating conversation between Geoffrey West and Nate Hagens about the metabolism of our societies .

    And I can't help but wonder how a world with more physicists than economists would be.

  22. I've just learned that Robert Ayres died this past October

    Robert Ayres, known as "Bob” to his friends and colleagues, was a distinguished physicist and economist, whose pioneering research, unconventional thinking and passion for his work transformed our understanding of sustainability. Colleagues at IIASA remember him as the true innovator and scientist at heart. One of his most groundbreaking works was his research of industrial ecology or industrial metabolism — a concept he originated and pioneered within the scientific community, with his first publications on this subject dating back to the 1960s.

    connect.iiasa.ac.at/news/17401

    The work I most associate with Ayres is of the role of energy in economics. Ayres strongly influenced and worked with Steve Keen, who subsequently developed a revised model of the Cobb-Douglas production function incorporating energy as well as the traditional capital and labour, which accounts for virtually all of the so-called "Solow residual". I'd learnt of Ayres death through an interview with Keen with #NateHagens on the latter's #TheGreatSimplification podcast.

  24. 100 episodes of the #TheGreatSimplification. Congratulations! In this anniversary episode the tables are turned on Nate Hagens, as he is being interviewed by Kate Raworth, who makes him explain all of his central concepts. Totally worth a listen!

  25. C'est la lecture à 8 ans des ouvrages "Le Singe Nu" et "Le Couple Nu" qui m'a ouvert les yeux sur le "temps long"... voici une superbe discussion entre #RobertSapolsky et #NateHagens qui fait écho à ces lectures. #TheGreatSimplification #FreeWill
