Man, there is something patently wrong with preaching simplification on the one hand, and on the other hand going for a bike ride in a hot weather, running up a fever, thinking that you got COVID, and testing yourself to see whether you do.
Even without getting into the nonsensical rebranding of the flu as COVID and the testing phantasmagoria, this screams contradiction.
People will not achieve simplification through complexity. I wonder what you'd have done were the test positive. Put yourself on a ventilator?
Isn't that obvious, or has it not been to countless generations in the past, that prolonged exposure to heat will make you sick, especially if you're doing hard physical work?
Best way to start simplifying is to think of what grandmother would have done. Or great-grandmother. It's probably safe to assume that people back then were not so idiotically reliant on what this industrial shit-civilization is shoving down our throats.
For perspectives on 'how did we get into this mess' I highly recommend reading Tyson Yunkaporta. He is an indigenous Australian academic who brings the perspective of the oldest surviving culture in the world (60.000+). His book Sand Talk has the ironic subtitle How Indigenous Thinking Can Save The World
Such wonderful work you are doing. I found it due to your post about your trip to India and started dipping in. So much more to experience but already: It resonates strongly with the philosophical and neuroscience research I am doing regarding what I call Holding the Paradox. Especially potent regarding this idea of growth. Wishing you health and sending gratitude
What about the most obvious anti-overshoot solution — drastically reducing the number of human births? This seems to be a taboo topic, yet back in the 1960s rigorous birth control measures were actively pursued.
Unfortunately that is a sticking plaster, the root is rapacious greed in the hands of billionaire elites who are the gatekeepers got the current dystopia, they own governments, the politicians, media (even social platforms) our universities, most people do not accept this and probably future inhabitants of the planet just might find some records of ou self-imposed extinction.
Been watching all your posts on YouTube….all very thought provoking! Sorry you’ve been ill recently. Hope you’ve completely recovered.
