Habrá que pensar en hacer la guerra a los plásticos más pronto que tarde. Leo en Nature una más de lo que ya vamos sabiendo sobre la peligrosidad ambiental y para la salud también de las personas:
nature.com/articles/d41586-024 "More than 4,000 plastic chemicals are hazardous, report finds
Year-long effort compiles comprehensive database of chemicals in plastics."
Y no es quimiofobia, es ciencia reponsable.

"Al ser una agricultura cada vez más tecnificada, despegada del territorio y del estado de los recursos, dependen del suministro de energía, fertilizantes, semillas, agua y asesoramiento. De ello se encargan empresas o corporaciones que van adquiriendo más protagonismo y dominio."

Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person.

What does it mean to be collapse-aware?

Below are some excerpts from a recent article by Alan Urban that discusses this. I'd be interested in your thoughts.

Also, for those who (predictably) are going to yell at me for being a 'doomer', my next couple of posts will be about solutions, changes we must make soon if we're aiming for a slightly less dire future.
________________________

If you’re collapse-aware, it means you’ve learned enough about climate change, pollution, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss to conclude that civilization is unsustainable and will eventually collapse.

Whether the collapse happens suddenly or takes several decades, and whether it happens soon or in the distant future, is up for debate. But the end result is the same: a pre-industrial world with a much smaller population.

It could be a world where nearly everyone works from sunup to sundown to put food on the table. It could be a world where people have to hunt and gather for survival, constantly moving in search of food and resources. Or it could be a world where humans, along with most other creatures, have gone extinct.

Before 2020, I was a techno-optimist. I believed advances in technology would allow us to overcome our problems and create a world where everyone was free to pursue their interests and lead a happy life. Goddamn was I naive.

In the fall of that year, I learned that the problem was much worse than I had thought. Climate change wasn’t the main problem. In fact, climate change — along with pollution, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss — were merely symptoms of a much bigger problem: overshoot.

For those who don’t know, overshoot is when a species exceeds the carrying capacity of its ecosystem. As a result, the ecosystem is unable to produce enough food for the species, and the population collapses. Once a species goes into overshoot, collapse is inevitable. There’s no way out.

According to the Global Footprint Network, humans exceeded the carrying capacity of planet Earth over 50 years ago. That means it’s only a matter of time before the human population collapses. The only question is when.

El número futuro de colisiones catastróficas en el espacio próximo a la Tierra no hará sino aumentar en las próximas décadas. Incluso si dejamos de lanzar cosas hacia arriba, los que ya hay constituyen un número suficiente como para que las reacciones en cadena se den de forma más y más frecuente en el futuro. ¿No es divertido?

One of the hard things to acknowledge about the struggle against climate change is that we have to keep making progress no matter what.

We can't wait for war, famine, elections, authoritarianism, and upheaval to end before we work on the Transition.

We know that conflict and authoritarian politics are symptoms of climate change. They will increase as temperatures increase and ecological systems degrade.

The Transition is a long-term project with compound interest. We have to keep going.

After a year of hype, the reality is emerging. Cloud clients aren’t buying generative AI tools because they’re expensive, lack accuracy, and it’s not clear what value they provide. Some analysts are already warning of a coming “trough of disillusionment.”

Vaya joya esta página web y zine hacker de 1985 o aprox (el texto lo es) de un tal Tom Athanasiou sobre Inteligencia Artificial, qué maravilla -no es un relato, no es especulativo, el campo lleva décadas desarrollándose

"The world of artificial intelligence can be divided up a lot of different ways, but the most obvious split is between researchers interested in being god and researchers interested in being rich."
