https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/04/world-inequality-lab-equality-academics-planetary-survival. A #utopian #fantasy, delivered by Ivory Tower left-wing #academics, like Thomas #Piketty, who don't realise there is no saving our so-called #civilisation from the #revenge of #Gaia, or the remorseless #logic of #social #entropy. They will still be saying all can saved, even as the grand edifice of #global #technological #capitalism crashes down around their ears - but see: https://globaljusticeproject.wid.world/. For my response, see: https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/gavz7_v1.

“ #Government officials must confront the reality of their #technological dependence and, accepting that few #countries will ever host a #hyperscaler, determine what kind of relationship they want with the existing ones.”

Petition!
We the people of the #UnitedStates unequivocally #oppose the #construction of #largescale and “hyperscale” #datacenters (defined as all #facilities surpassing 100 megawatts of power capacity and 10,000 square feet in area) on American Soil regardless of their #intendedpurposes. The toll that these facilities will take on the #health of #human and #nonhuman# lifeforms, the #environment, #energysources, and #watersources far outweigh any #potentialbenefits that they could possibly have on our #qualityoflife, #technological #advancement, or the #nationaleconomy.

I have sad news for Professor Kurz: #Capitalism can't be made "more humane". It is, in any event, doomed, along with the #global #technological "civilisation" (so-called) that goes with it, & that doom is imminent - no more than 2 decades away, at most.
