Today's SFI Seminar by Ext Prof @ricard_sole, streaming now — follow this 🧵 for highlights:

"Why #brains? Brains are very costly...it seems like they are not a very good idea to bring complex cognition to a #biosphere that just needs simple replicators."

"I also want to explore the problem of #consciousness, which is around all the time..."

Two different views of #evolution:

- Stephen Jay Gould and an emphasis on #contingency

- Simon Conway Morris/Pere Albach and an emphasis on #constraints and #convergence

Al Gore ( WEF syndic) et al. sont TELLEMENT PRÉOCCUPÉS par le climat qu'ils sont en train de transformer l'ensemble de la nature en une nouvelle classe d'actifs - où ils POSSÉDERONT la nature, géreront/contrôleront et profiteront de la nature via les "sociétés d'actifs naturels".
#NaturePositive, #VoiceForThePlanet, #NewDealForNature

La financiarisation de la nature, commercialisée avec une imagerie et un langage holistiques émotionnels, dirigée par WEF, WWF et Al Gore.

C'est la capture des biens communs par les entreprises, à l'échelle mondiale.
#NaturePositive les fondateurs incluent #BusinessForNature (lancé le 2 juillet 2019 lors de la réunion annuelle des nouveaux champions du WEF en Chine et des conférences de Trondheim #Biodiversity en Norvège).

1/14 Mahaman from Bandhavgarh
.... and its lifeline Ken river running through the middle. It was upgraded to the status of a tiger reserve in 1994 but within 15 years it lost all its stripes !! The news broke out in May, 2009 that Panna TR which once claimed to harbour 40+ tigers had none left anymore.
2/14
It shook the forest department, the govt and every concerned citizen of the country to its core. Investigations were done on the disappearance of tigers and reports submitted by the WII, SIT setup by the NTCA and by an expert committee initiated by govt of MP.

🧵. #Russia colonised #Ukraine in 18th century. Since then, they've been trying to exterminate ukrainian indentity and culture, to assimilate us into being russian. They appropriated a lot of our #culture, #history, achievements and personalities doing this. 1/ #twitterstorians
Foreword. Many of these examples might seem to you as insignificant or unconnected, but they all are evidence to the trend of generations of russians trying to unexist us as a nation, make Ukraine into what they think we are – "Little Russia" 2/
Let's get the obvious one out of the door. #Borsch is and always was Ukrainian. It got into russia with soviet diner menus. Now russians claim it's as intrinsic to russia as it is to us. Bullshit. 3/ A beautiful and tasty combo of Borsch, salo (lard in pieces)

#aldeaslibresdemacroeólicos
Percibimos una GRAN FUERZA en las redes.
🧶Abrimos HILO para reflexionar y ofrecer herramientas y tácticas que optimizan la lucha por los territorios en nuestras redes:
En twiter @ están todos nuestros representantes y organismos, que deberían trabajar por nuestra vida y patrimonio y no para € del oligopolio.
📝 Ellos/as son los responsables de la factura de la luz, de que nos quieran poner macroeólicos a 500m de nuestras casas, etc,
Para ellos es sumamente importante su imagen pública en las redes. Constantemente envían mensajes de solidaridad y compromiso con el medio ambiente, cuando su práctica políticas no se corresponden con esos mensajes. Es lo que llamamos #greenwashing

"Nearly 1/2 of Canadians are expected to develop #cancer during their lifetime & approx. 1 in 4 Canadians are expected to die from it." [Deloitte/CMA] How has this been normalized?

Instead, citizens fear a cold-like #virus w/ median infection survival rate of 99.77% or higher.
Aug 2021: "#cancer care disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic could lead to 21,247 more cancer deaths in Canada in 2020-2030, assuming treatment capacity is recovered to 2019 pre-pandemic levels in 2021."

#Lockdowns as catalyst to #4IR #telehealth.
#Ontario: "there was a significant uptick in virtual care... more than 42 million specialist consultations... Despite this massive shift to #virtualcare, many patients still reported difficulty accessing chronic disease care during the pandemic."

Thread.

No longer is it necessary to pay attention to my 2019-2020 ramblings/warnings of a global economic reset. Instead, as of June 3, 2020, you can now hear it directly from the source: the World Economic Forum (#WEF).

The World Economic Forum: home of the #FourthIndustrialRevolution as designed and desired by the ruling classes in tandem with the world's most powerful and ruthless corporations and institutions.

Leveraging #COVID19 (& global #protest) for all it's worth, the virus is indeed the new war on terror.
