Thanks for a good read!

The idea of a "heroic retreat" from the current path is very interesting. As a symbol perhaps it is the right way to at least try to facilitate some common ground for society as a whole to discuss what the retreat might look like and where it should go - as opposed to the current situation where it looks more like that all sides (greens and "realists" alike) are preparing to dig their heels in and brace for a last (heroic?) stand.

The idea of a retreat would perhaps allow to walk back to some misunderstandings that the late modernity is resting on, such as the one you point to here with not fully embracing that there is tension between different levels social and ecological systems.

Looking forward on reading more thoughts on the matter.

"We must use our extraordinary abilities for a planned retreat, ensuring that we take care of the wounded and saving what is most valuable in our current culture"

I farm and through careful planning and being self sufficient I am passing my farm to another to continue

Peter Turchin has written a book about the ultra-social humans, calling it Ultra-society, where he for example contended that the advantages of ultra-social behaviour successively, and in an evolutionary way, extinguished the rapacious tyrants of antiquity and made room for the more civic cultures of today.

No one is doubting global warming. What some of us doubt is that all other factors but humans, are excluded from explaining climate. That is not science, but politics.

Hm, frustrating read. Will reread. But, have you totaly missed that it is the transhumanists driving the "agw" narrative? Malthusianism and transhumanism. Look upp biodigital convergence. "Bio-digital convergence is essentially the merging of biology and digital technology with the aim of creating new technologies and applications that incorporate biological processes. It is made possible by advances in fields such as synthetic biology, biotechnology and digital technology, which are allowing researchers to manipulate and control biological systems in increasingly sophisticated ways."

It is the purpose of 4ir, to" evolve" the human race into cyborgs. And you are not asked to agree.

Life science, gene editing, crispr, ai. Listen to what wef klaus schwab says - it will change you. You are a hackable animal. And they are about to reduce the population of "useless eaters". Fertility is record low worldwide since rollout of gentherapy they renamed vaccine.
