#trumpvsbiden #climatecrisis #overshoot #collapse #folk #fusion #jazz 'Sumer is icumen in' is a 13th Century medieval English rota or 'round': one of the oldest English folk tunes on record. There are many versions online, but mine may be one of the few rootsy / fusion versions. The chords were composed by myself. The images should be self-explanatory. If not, where have you been?

You are welcome! I`m sorry for the poor video quality. I am using a backup computer. My main computer is in the repair shop.
these videos provide a breath of fresh air during a time when vast swathes of "leftists" are overcome with what can only be described as a complete lapse of reason when it comes to the israeli-palestinian conflict.
Thank you. Agreed! I am behind with uploading these, but please check back in a few days for the next installment.
amazing !!
Thank you @SuperDafnou!!
All the best
Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.
Wow. You really inspire me!
It’s been a long time since I’ve read Octavia Butler. I’m not even sure I have any copies with me here in Mexico. They might be in a box in my dad’s garage in Los Angeles.
I decided to do a search for reviews of Shikasta (which I haven’t read in some years), and this review was at the top of the list. I have some disagreements with the review but perhaps I should make my own video. And perhaps I should give the book another reading with the criticisms in mind. I will say this: Be sure to read the introductory notes. Lessing makes clear that she had written an allegorical tale; apparently she was approached by more than a few nutters that wanted to know how to get in touch with the Canopeans after the first edition was printed. She also discusses the influences behind the writing, many of which are religious and mystical. WRT to her political consciousness, it should be noted that she is a former Marxist. Her political stance (as revealed by the series) isn’t easily categorized. It is characterized by an overall pessimism, an imperative to struggle despite that pessimism, and that struggle being towards a goal of spiritual (and possibly ethical) development. I encourage anyone taking on Shikasta to continue with the other books in the series. They are written in a variety of styles, so don’t be put off by the bureaucratic historical document format of Shikasta. Lastly a quick word about the stereotypes of evil. They are meant to be stereotypes! This is an allegory after all. Furthermore, they are the criminals from a criminal empire : the worst of the worst. They’ve escaped from their prison to Shikasta where they extract enough wealth and power to take over their parent empire. Lessing’s portrayal here is clearly political. I don’t know, maybe it’s opaque to one firmly attached to certain analytical frameworks and vocabularies. However, with a little elbow grease and imagination, I am certain one can shoehorn parts of the text into familiar categories. Lessing does something interesting in fact. She conceptualizes alienation and suffering as commodities. Anyway, I’ve spent more time than I intended on this comment. I hope that you, the reader, finds some use in it.
@MarcosElMalo2 Wow, I so appreciate you spending the time to post this comment! Possibly the longest ever comment on one of my videos so far. And I`m surprised I appeared high in the search results, but I`m not complaining. I will watch back my own video before saying too much, which won`t be for a few days, but I think you may have slightly misunderstood where I am coming from. I understand that it is allegory, but I don`t think it entirely works, and I don`t think Lessing is just pessimistic; I think she implies that humans have no free will, and are only subject to deterministic social forces (very Marxist, so that makes sense that you said she identified as Marxist at one point: I think that really comes through, although her superior beings claim to be beyond left and right, I don`t feel she pulls that off convincingly). Suffice to say my politics is not Marxist. Don`t get me wrong, Shikasta is much better than I could have written...although I am working on some SF of my own. Do you write yourself? And thanks, yes I did intend to read the next one in the series at some point...it`s on my long list of things to read, but quite low down on the list. And in response to your humble statement at the top, I in turn may have indeed misinterpreted Shikasta in places. Have you read The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin? It`s a real favourite of mine, and covers some similar themes to Shikasta.
Also, I would be interested to hear your opinions & thoughts on the other two book recommendation videos I have done. Here is the first one: ruclips.net/video/kZrFEc0ba6Q/видео.html And the second one: ruclips.net/video/h79qXv0MP0U/видео.html
@@EpicTomorrows Just a quick response. I think Lessing does accord us agency. Note the decisions made by Ben and Rachel both on the Limbo zone (where they have given up, but are convinced by Johor to try again) and their choices when they return to earth. After the cosmic realignment that weakens the link between Canopus and Shikasta (which requires the removal of the giants), I don’t think Canopus is able to exert any sort of control over Shikasta. Diplomats like Johor are sent to maintain a weak link and exert a small influence. With regard to Johor’s agency, he is bound by his Canopean ethics and moral development, if that makes any sense. The theme of civilization-level moral development gets explored in The Sirian Exoeriments (and in the Representative 8 novel (I’m sure I’m getting the title wrong)). Just my two cents with regard to free will in the series. We haven’t even mentioned the central concept of “The Necessity”, but i didn’t want to go off on a utilitarian tangent. She fleshes out her ideas about politics more thoroughly in The Sentimental Agents. I’ll check out those vids you linked.
@@MarcosElMalo2 fair comments, but isn`t all this `agency` totally dependent on the cosmic alignment? Which is kind of disempowering for the `clueless` humans? Maybe I`m nitpicking or taking that part too seriously, or not allegorically enough. It`s quite possible I have completely misread this book in some of its key elements. Aside from the issue of free will, I do find there is a messiness to the way it`s written that doesn`t just come from the technique of using multiple kinds of `discovered` sources, which I actually think is a really interesting way to string together a narrative...In fact there is a lot I really liked about the book. Probably I could have done a better video.
I try to carry the vegan message when I travel. Thank you for engaging with the farmer. Maybe you planted a seed (pun unintended).

Overall, lots of excellent points. Really liked Chaia's stating that the very term "antisemitism" was created by people of that very persuasion, and that it is highly inaccurate, seeking to make all people of Jewish background into Semites, in particular in regard to such people who are of European background, as if they are biologically, genetically, non-Europeans of Middle East origins, "others," in flagrant disregard of reality. But i have to take issue with the wholesale dismissal of "conspiracy theory," including 9/11. The official story re 9/11 is that of an alleged conspiracy by a blind sheik in a cave in Afghanistan and 19 alleged hijackers. Somehow they got the entire US air defense system to stand down, brought down THREE WTC steel-frame hi-rises with just 2 airliners, badly damaged the Pentagon with a third airliner, with no evidence of a plane impact at the site, and flew a fourth into a field in south-central Pennsylvania, leaving a crater with no plane debris in it, though lots of such debris nearby. Official explanations of what happened at those 3 locations violate the laws of physics and observable physical evidence. Even the former chair of the U of Alaska-Fairbanks CE department, a certified Professional Structural Engineer who used to head the ASCE's Northwest Chapter, LeRoy Halsey, has taken issue with the official story, specifically in regard to WTC7. And no, it wasn't Jews or Israelis who carried out the 9/11 attacks, that's just another lie. Whatever role the Mossad played was secondary, that of a subcontractor, but one which left it as a convenient scapegoat, Jews did not, do not, run the US military/intelligence services, the only entity which could have carried out that operation. Wholesale dismissal of any notion that there are actual conspiracies just takes away from the general validity of what the three people in this video said.
@jeffreystrahl9274 at this point in time I agree with you. I am aware of AE4911Truth. Additionally, we need to consider that many conspiracy theories contain elements of truth, even when they are mostly not true. For example, `secret world government / NWO` theories contain a strong element of truth. Although we can say that many NWO conspiracy theories, including climate-denying ones, are often inherently anti-Jewish if not explicitly, nevertheless we have to look at the strong element of truth which is that there ARE shadowy global organisations (not Jewish) which DO dominate global capitalism, propagate neoliberalism and weaken state power, paradoxically through laws passed by states. The most obvious of these organisations are the World Bank, the IMF, and the World Trade Organisation, target of the famous `Battle of Seattle` back in 1999. The sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, an `activist sociologist`, wrote back in 2000-2001 that these big orgs do amount to a `secret world government` (his term).
@@EpicTomorrows : And thanks for keeping the flame going (i mean picking up the torch, not in any sense "flame wars," to make it clear. :-)) AE911Truth has been facing an attack from within the movement, a cabal of people who tried to take it over, and after failing to do so, have started pushing the idea that it needs to be pushed aside. See if you can find the work of Craig McKee, he's got a Substack called Thought Crimes and Misdemeanors. The Tub doesn't like people to post links, so i won't. Regarding Bookchin: he was way too attached to the idea that "renewables" (which in fact are not, and not really alternatives to fossil fuels) in themselves promote anti-capitalist values and relations, we're far more critical nowadays because we have a much better understanding of their material requirements and what they can and cannot do. This leads to the idea of "post-scarcity" itself, which was an illusion enabled by the petroleum age. The planet could not sustain the whole world's population at anywhere near to material living standards of 1960s US, which is when he came up with many of his basic ideas. Like most anarchists, Bookchin was at his best breaking down social power relations, in particular those of the state. And, at his worst, in terms of understanding the basic dynamics of capital and capitalism. I saw him at UC Berkeley in Spring 1979. He was sponsored by the local "progressive" political group which had just finally taken full control of the city government and was gonna implement basic social changes. This entity is still in power today. Over the last couple of decades, it has implemented a re-making of Berkeley a la a mini Midtown Manhattan. It's turning into a hi rise forest, and hosting "green businesses" like bio-tech, set up in "business parks." Few people can afford to live here, even fairly well-paid UC employees. I'm only able to do so due to rent control, still in the same place after 30 years. And the city admin is also turning the entire place into a "SMART City," SMART = Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology, core 4th Industrial Revolution stuff.
The number one thing that any one person can do to address the worldwide poly crisis is to support a voluntary reduction of the human population. We need a 2% ecological footprint tax for the richest 1% of the world to hire the appropriate medical staff, and set up mobile units that could go to communities around the world, paying people to get sterilized. An organization modeled after the nonprofit World Vasectomy Day would be ideal. When considering, renewable energy options to mitigate the suffering caused by our predicament… Don’t believe the bright green lies! There is nothing renewable about so-called “renewable energy“. Energy powers ecological devastation independent of its source. If human beings actually had an endless source of free clean green energy… Which does not exist it would only fuel the acceleration of the destruction of the biosphere. Deforestation, ocean depletion, habitat loss, desertification, biodiversity loss, soil degradation, groundwater depletion, global warming, overpopulation, rampant pollution, and the six mass extinction would all continue to accelerate. This is not a supply problem… It’s a demand problem! Fewer humans equals less suffering for all life on earth! We really need to promote government and nonprofit funded vasectomies and tubal ligations. I realize that it is extremely unlikely that governments will pass a tax on the rich to pay for voluntary sterilization, and you may not be able to contribute, or participate in a nonprofit that funds voluntary sterilization. However, you can discuss with others whether it is ethical to bring a child onto a planet in the midst of global industrial, and ecological collapse. We can talk about the ways that we can mitigate the consequences of ecological overshoot, or people can stay silent, remain ignorant, live in denial, continue to celebrate procreation, and contribute to the ensuing misery. We can either reduce our population by choice… Or we can let nature do it in her unmerciful way. it’s biology 101. A life that is never brought into existence, is a life that will not have to experience the wretchedness of the unequivocal, impending collapse. #WorldVasectomyDay
Nice !!!
Really useful work here, thank you for the conversation!
Matthew was a great host. We really had a good time, a few laughs, and also appreciated talking through some of the complex questions around our #collapse predicament.
Great work & solid conversation JC + ET! I don't mind being wrong on predicting the end. That's why I always answer the "when" question with: Tomorrow. Come back to me the day after and I'll just say Tomorrow again. Being judged for being micro wrong when the machine insists on predictions and conclusions insults the reality of being macro right in perpetuity. Onward + #TalkCollapse
@chickenfootranch fair enough!
These people are fantastic !!!
SuperDafnou pipsou, I agree with you!!!
And even though the claims are that planting trees is the least form of action for climate change mitigation, I believe we still need to restore the green because before the concrete jungle came to exist, vegetation already existed. And nature was a balance so why should do an imbalance. #onetreeatatime
Thanks for exploring animal rights and positive ways of debating, an art we seem to have lost.
You are welcome!
Thank you Solomon. It seems to me that planting trees is the single most effective action that individuals can take to help mitigate the worst impacts of climate. In the long run, it's probably the only thing that holds the significant potential to reverse climate change.
I think you could be right.
@@EpicTomorrows That's why I'm searching for ways to make it as easy as possible for as many people as possible to plant trees as regularly as possible: ruclips.net/user/shorts3tr0h4el2Rc?si=RAAXupd44m5LfWcS

Important points!
Very interesting interview.
Hey Jonny, nice of you to pop by and comment. Thanks man. 🙂
Growing crops without petroleum based fertilisers is the only way to go. Only if half the population at least are producing food we won't be at the machines. We have to use our own manure as fertilisers if there is no manure. Compost making is the most revolutionary activity there is.
Guerilla gardening is the way forward. If every person who chooses a different consumer path would also produce food and learn about that it would also help.
The great lakes of Africa are being drained for crop production. People won't be able to fish there anymore because of this.
I don't know anything about this. Do you have a good link?
