Richard Michael Blaberhttps://theconversation.com/a-new-exhibition-explores-empire-love-and-loss-through-paintings-of-flowers-from-1900-281787. "Each #artist has chosen their particular #flowers to #paint, exerting #control over #nature showing a particular fascination, atmosphere, idea that they want to impart though this choice." Why exactly would they want to "exert control over nature"? What is it about #humans, not just #artists, that must "exert control over nature"? This #hubris WILL be punished. We must learn to show its opposite before #Gaia, sophrosunē (humility).

No Emperor and King can whitewash the failure of their ecocide programme! No complex conglomerate or any simulation greater than 1, transcends the dialectic principle! #TheBigDonorLie #hubris #CaptiveMarkets #AbsoluteBeing #AbsoluteIdea #philosophy https://simplywall.st/markets/gb

JazonePersonally, I'm completely fine with #Republicans exposing themselves as the oathless charlatans and loyalist dupes that they always have been. I'm simply shocked that their #hubris drags the actual truth out of their mouth and they don't realize it.

Big Blu GnuForty years after the Chernobyl disaster, a science writer explains what went wrong with the nuclear power facility and why. Long answer short, it was Soviet hubris, and fossil fuels are still much more dangerous than nuclear.
