civilization and brain damage

facts:

- indigenous people's fight civilization
-- the celts fought the romans
-- the gauls fought the romans
-- the amazonian peoples fight the canadian mining companies

- why fight?
-- because the civilized people act brain damaged
-- they pollute rivers
-- they destroy forests
-- they dig huge holes in the groud
-- that is the behaviour of someone with brain damage

- consider rapa nui aka easter island
-- the civilized people that built the moai
-- did moai users have better reproductive success?
-- did competitive moai (ie. building bigger) have better reproductive success?
-- they chopped down the last tree
-- they lived on an island
-- no trees = no boats = no food

- consider the farmers of the central valley in california or farmers in ancient sumer
-- the water table falling
-- salt increasing
-- increased production leads to decreasing yields

- civilization has bred brain damaged humans
-- agricultural has selected for what behaviour?
-- utilizing surplus food for feeding soliders for war
-- fossil fuel use has selected for what behaviour?
-- utilizing fuel as a force multiplier

- cultures that weaponize and exploit resources faster have increased reproductive success
-- heat death is inevitable

- evolution has selected for weaponizers, exploiters, polluters

- consider fossil fuel users - are they better able to reproduce than non-fossil fuel users?

- consider military industrial complex users - are they better able to reproduce than non military industrial complex users?

- consider tar sands oil extractors - are they better able to reproduce than non tar sands oil extractors?

- does not each of these steps lead to more and more desperate measures in order to out compete other organisms for access to vital resources necessary for reproduction?

all roads lead to destruction
all destruction leads to new roads

triple paned glass windows or cold fusion

numbers dont lie by vaclav smil why understanding how humans hunt is essential to understanding why millions continues to be spent on cold fusion projects instead of triple paned windows. why not start with what is proven? windows. smil explains that triple glazed windows can create savings of 90% - no other opportunities for billions of units. cost 15% more. why isnt this done? because it doesnt hunt. no hunter is going to acquire large solar surplus from the being the "johnny appleseed of triple glazed windows" in the same way the way that hunters can create surplus gains from investing the chance at discovering and controlling cold fusion. why are large surpluses found at the frontier - fusion vs windows? the chance at property rights. there are no 10x or 10,000x multiples for investors in triple glazing. all the benefits from paying to replace acrue to the homeowner. the key is to find the right investor. utilities will offer rebates to install energy efficiencies. since ...

simple questions about collapse

1. why have complex societies formed? 2. why have complex societies formed only in the past 10,000 years? 3. the genus homo has been around for 2.5 million years - but only recently formed complexity - why? 4. could it be that one time special environmental conditions allowed unprecendented ecosystem exploitation first through hunting in the ice age, and then farming? 5. could it be that a passing environmental "sweet spot" allowed the genus homo to flourish - and that once the unusual weather has passed - the genus homo will find it difficult once again?

Studying how humans hunt is crucial

 Studying how humans hunt is crucial as resource limits are reached and boundaries are crossed. How humans hunt as a field of study has been overlooked in favour of history, political science, geography, anthropology or economics for studying conflict. They are unable to predict or model outcomes that are outside of their field of study. Studying the unique ways humans has been completely missing from existing disciplines. 1. what are the ways that humans hunt that are shared with animals? 1. what are ways do human human that are unique to humans? 1. with agriculture what species controls the largest share of gains? 1. what species is best target for hunting? 1. what special hunting techniques have developped unique to that species? 1. how does hunting lead to rise and fail of civilizations? Studying the way humans hunt has been missing for the religious narrative traditions. For thousands of years gods and prophets have spoken and taught and yet we have gone from city collapse to ...
