"Saito’s key finding, and key argument, is that the later Marx rethought his earlier positions, both as a result of, and as a reason for, pursuing extensive studies in the physical and biological sciences, on the one hand, and pre-capitalist societies on the other."
"Marx thoroughly revised his position. That included abandoning the notion of stages of history and, critically, the idea that socialism must follow capitalism, standing on the pillars it had erected."
"That the #Anthropocene, at its core, is a fundamentally bourgeois concept should surprise no one. After all, it tells us that behind the current, disastrous state of world affairs is the #Anthropos. It’sa trick ...

We start with a talk by SFI President David Krakauer:
"Would anyone care to guess why we're so GOOD at building transistors and so CRAP at designing drugs?"
"This thing [points to transistor] lives in a centralized system. This thing [points to cancer drug] lives in US."
"Would anyone care to guess why we're so GOOD at building transistors and so CRAP at designing drugs?"
"This thing [points to transistor] lives in a centralized system. This thing [points to cancer drug] lives in US."
"I'm going to pick on economics, because we like to do that at SFI. 'Ooh, look at that cover! So techy. Global, heat maps...' But here's 'Networks' [in the textbook]. THAT'S IT. Here's '#ComplexityEconomics.' NOTHING."
🌍 IGN, cartographe de l'#Anthropocène | Les résultats 2022 de l’inventaire forestier national & son mémento viennent de paraitre ! Quels grands enseignements sur la #forêt ? [THREAD] 👇inventaire-forestier.ign.fr/spip.php?rubri…
1⃣ La superficie forestière métropolitaine continue de s'étendre : 17,1 millions d'hectares en 2021 📈🌳
2⃣ Le taux de boisement (rapport entre la superficie forestière et la superficie totale du territoire) s’élève à 31 % en France métropolitaine. Cette moyenne masque néanmoins de fortes différences départementales.
One million US homes are built on floodplains. It would cost $200B to relocate the people who live in them. If we do that, we will save $1T. Those homes are doomed. 1/

"Ecological economics acknowledges that real economies are completely dependent on energy. However, orthodox economic theory remains blind to this reality. As a result, so do our institutions and our citizenry. The disconnect has massive implications for our future."

Difficile en tant que Guadeloupéen de regarder ce docu sur les difficultés rencontrées par les pêcheurs espagnols avec les algues, sans penser à ce que les #antilles connaissent avec les sargasses mm si les origines diffèrent (Amazonie VS Asie?) #écologie
Une étude (2019) parlait pour la #Caraïbe de phénomène "connecté à deux facteurs : d'une part, la hausse de la déforestation et de l'utilisation d'engrais en Amazonie à partir de 2009 et d'autre part, des courants ascendants venus d'Afrique de l'Ouest."

geo.fr/environnement/…
Mais une autre étude (2021) semblait nuancer le rôle de la déforestation et pollution sur les fleuves : de ce que je comprends ce ne serait pas la *cause* de la prolifération des sargasses, ms cela pourrait être un *facteur* de ce qui les fait croître. Attendons la suite donc...

Since 1900, we've been making a LOT of stuff...and it's been piling up. In 2020, the material output of humans on Earth SURPASSED the total (dry) weight of all living things on Earth!
One grim part to this story (there's many 😵💫) is that we've now produced double the weight of plastic than the entire Animal Kingdom.

🙄 This is its story: ⬇️ Thread ⬇️
This Kentish #plover pair incubated a nest of two eggs 🥚🥚 for 22 days, until it was preyed upon by a fox 🦊. But the fox left a strange "egg" 🧐 inside the nest. The female has continued to incubate it for weeks. In #albuferadevalencia
At the beginning of May 2021 the Kentish plover female laid 2 eggs. 🧐 Can you spot them in this photo? Some pairs are able to camouflage them very effectively.

2/ La subsistance est au centre des préoccupations et des rapports de/au pouvoir. La question anthropocène peut se formuler en spirale relationnelle de production de la subsistance, càd de production des ressources à partir de matériaux
3/ L’espèce humaine est spatiogénique: l’espace de l’espèce humaine (écoumène) n’est pas un espace naturel, c’est par définition un espace anthropisé donc artificiel.

3/ "En l’absence d’un Royaume de l’au-delà, la Terre devient le seul monde "sacré", et l’exploitation de ses sols et sous-sols la source unique de la légitimité de l’Empire.
#BillGates's #mosquito technological (naive) intervention, is a very bad idea, that I think emerges from the #Anthropocene framework. Thats why I has been pushing #Technocene instead, bc it tends to induce a more #precautionary approach:
