So many systems, so many collapses...

Woher soll der Mut und die Entschlossenheit kommen, die Bereitschaft für die „Torheit“ des Reiches Gottes? Ich denke nicht, dass die ersten Christen mutiger oder heroischer waren als wir heute. Aber sie waren „begeistert“, im wörtlichen Sinne erfüllt vom Heiligen Geist.

Der heilige Narr – Jesu Weg im Zeitalter des Kollaps

Der Weg Jesu als Alternative zur Logik von Sorge, Besitz und Gewalt. Der Text liest die Bergpredigt als konkrete, subversive Lebenspraxis und beschreibt die Figur des „heiligen Narren“, der in einer kollabierenden Welt aus Liebe lebt und der Megamaschine so ihre Macht entzieht.

"#Modi has made it clear to India's 1.5bn people that he can no longer shield them fully from the econ. fallout of the war in the Gulf. He warned of a global 'decade of disasters'."

Witness the difference between rich & poor countries:

The "imperiale Lebensweise" is exactly what constitutes the difference between a rich country being able to "shield" most of its citizens "fully from the economic fallout" of crises, and poor countries that cannot do any such shielding, e.g. through subsidising fossil fuels.

Fish are at risk as warming world chokes off oxygen in rivers

Global warming is causing rivers to slowly lose oxygen, threatening fish and other lives. A study released Friday of more than 21,000 rivers worldwide shows they have lost an average of 2.1% of their oxygen since 1985. India’s Ganges River is losing oxygen 20 times faster than the global rate. Most of the oxygen loss is because warmer water holds less dissolved oxygen, but pollution and dams also contribute. As climate change worsens, rivers in the Eastern United States, India and the tropics could potentially see fish die-offs and dead zones by the end of the century.
