@urlyman i listened to it, too (have been listening to a lot of #GreatSimplification recently, thank you for the recommendation!) and yes: really good to hear and think about the carbon cycle, the foundation of all life on earth
i am like so so sorry that you government seems to have treated you SO BADLY and betrayed you SO MUCH that you have no other vision for the future of humanity but a "#greatsimplification" as you call it, but what you mean in fact is a violent breakdown of complexity. a collapse. you favor a collapse over JUST EMBERASSING YOURSELF BY VOTING FOR A LESS RACIST PERSON. not sarcastic, but honestly sorry.

Once again a great episode! I'm glad someone is voicing non-existential risks of #ai. I've worried about llm based virtual friends that are going to be used to manipulate people to consume more, first time I was told that actually social media algorithms were the first wave.

Jean-Baptiste Fressoz: “Always Adding More: The Unpopular Reality about Energy Transitions” - The Great Simplification

The vision of a carbon-free, net-zero society is often framed around the promise of transitioning away from fossil fuels.

The Great Simplification

@Snoro extrait: "Il y aura des effondrements qui ne nous mèneront peut-être pas à l'apocalypse, mais plutôt à une très grande simplification de notre monde. [...] La fin de l’abondance."

C'est la première fois que j'aperçois "in the wild" l'expression de Nate Hagen: The Great Simplification.

Il y aussi cette perle: "La perception, je la comprends tout à fait, cette perte de contrôle, ces craintes-là. Mais dans les faits, on rentre rarement dans un mur."

et bang un mur

I enjoyed the medium-advanced episode with #Rockström on Nate Hagen's #GreatSimplification that streamed 1 month ago.
"Even if we were successful in phasing out fossil fuels, we would still breach the 1,5 degrees Celsius boundary, if we do not come back into the safe space on the biosphere boundaries."
Meaning, we need a healthy carbon sink that helps us in temporarily parking our fossil CO2.

A healthy carbon sink on land needs biodiversity and healthy soil, not mass extinction and forever chemicals. Did you know that tire rub-off from cars regularly kills 40-90% of the salmon [and other species of less direct economic value] in Canadian rivers after a rain storm? Stuff like this has to end or even our strongest fossil CO2-related action can't keep us in a safe temperature space.

je trouve la question de la création monétaire fascinante (pour son aspect social, style observation de colonies de fourmis qui s'échange des petits bidules entre eux). Et cette question m'interpelle d'autant plus que les collectivités devront bientôt (avec la #GreatSimplification qui vient) développer des monnaies locales qui auront à répondre aux mêmes mécanismes psycho-sociaux d'attribution de la valeur.

"Nuclear Is Not The Answer" by #ArtBerman

https://www.artberman.com/blog/nuclear-is-not-the-answer/

"Among the most frustrating parts of discussions about the human predicament is the widespread belief that nuclear energy is the answer. It’s not. If money were not a consideration—but it is—nuclear plants just can’t be built fast enough to make much of a difference."

Art includes a wider view than just greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide emissions. Examples:

"Carbon emissions and the overshooting of planetary boundaries are unlikely to decrease as long as energy consumption, world GDP and population continue to increase (Figure 7). The interrelationship of these factors with the degradation of Earth’s ecosystem means that there are no solutions without a structural change in all of these factors as a starting point. This implies that a civilizational paradigm shift is required."

"When I talk to people about energy, the environment and the human predicament, they want me to help them understand what society can do to solve the problems that I describe. They are often frustrated when I tell them that it’s not that simple. Focusing on one part of the predicament like emissions or nuclear power may feel satisfying but simply shifts most of the problem somewhere else."

This is a very important statement. I think our world is full of people trying to optimize a narrow problem, thus externalizing impacts elsewhere. This does not produce any global optimization, and instead avoids or prevents the necessary global changes, since everyone (or most people) deceive themselves thinking that they are actually contributing to such optimization. This idea is not mine, actually, it comes from Daniel Schmachtenberger, also taken by Nate Hagens. We need systems-wide ways to approach the solutions. Our problemes go way beyond just substituting an energy source for another (although this problem itself is already a massive one).
