Every day, in the afternoon or early evening, for around 4 weeks a blanket of smoke has drifted across my city. I reflected on this here recently but tonight I found myself inadvertently caught up in the smoke as I was walking. My eyes are stinging, I have a sickening burnt wood taste in the…
Ecological Logic
A holistic logic is discontinuous, non-linear, enigmatic and - in the face climate change - mandatory.
The Metaphysics of Climate Change
There are always things beyond the intelligible boundaries of the cognitive logic and cultural grammars within which we live.
Playing the Long-Game of Human Civilisation
The catastrophic entropy of a currently most-probable future is not the only available solution in the possibility-space of all emergent and adaptive human planetary civilisations.
Compared to Climate Change, Brexit is trivial
Compared to Climate Change, Brexit is small cheese.
The Great Unknown
It is only an immature psychological and cultural status which seeks certainty and completion in all things and in so doing, generates endless entropy and confusion. Science has no logical endpoint.
The Hollow Men
One thing I notice about getting older is the way that things start to get away from you...
The Necessary Evolution of Difference and Conflict
Conflict and the means or methods of its execution lie at the center of all personal and (by extension or necessary inversion) collective history.
A World at War with Itself
At the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, it is a good time to reflect upon where we are all going as a civilisation and what we might plausibly achieve to inhibit, interdict or halt the possibility of any similar global catastrophes from ever occurring again.
Premonition of Civil War
The underlying momentum of evolving material logics, symmetries and information systems seem already oriented towards incurring dissonance, difference and entropy as an autonomous method through which their own accelerated logical metamorphosis self-propagates.
CRISPR Wars: The Inevitability of Technological Entropy ?
The great enigma of scientific and technological progress: for every great leap forwards there exists a concurrent potential for even greater (catastrophic) leaps backwards.
Catastrophy Beyond Imagination
Some dawning realities are so vast that we do not even have words, let alone cognitive methods, to characterise or represent them. Climate Change is one of these realities.
