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

the beginning of civilisation - Göbekli Tepe

http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/gobekli-tepe.html?c=y&page=1 'To Schmidt and others, these new findings suggest a novel theory of civilization. Scholars have long believed that only after people learned to farm and live in settled communities did they have the time, organization and resources to construct temples and support complicated social structures. But Schmidt argues it was the other way around: the extensive, coordinated effort to build the monoliths literally laid the groundwork for the development of complex societies.' Interesting theory - but why? What was the problem building temples solved? Why was building temples cheaper than the alternative? what was that alternative? 'Hodder is fascinated that Gobekli Tepe's pillar carvings are dominated not by edible prey like deer and cattle but by menacing creatures such as lions, spiders, snakes and scorpions. "It's a scary, fantastic world of nasty-looking beasts," he muses. Whi

1 cubic mile of oil

to create the energy we get from oil by least expensive means - wind - we would need to spend an extra $10 trillion and would require an area the size of three new zealands http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_mile_of_oil The world consumes approximately 3 CMO annually from all sources. Source CMO/yr Oil 1.06 Coal 0.81 Natural gas 0.61 Biomass 0.19 Nuclear 0.15 Hydroelectric 0.17 Geothermal <0.01 Wind+Photovoltaic+Solar thermal <0.005 Installing capacity to produce 1 CMO per year requires long and significant development. Allowing fifty years to develop the requisite capacity, 1 CMO of energy per year could be produced by any one of these developments: 4  Three Gorges Dams , [14]  developed each year for 50 years,  or 52  nuclear power plants , [15]  developed each year for 50 years,  or 104  coal-fired power plants , [16]  developed each year for 50 years,  or 32,850  wind turbines , [17] [18]  developed each year for 50 years,  or 91,250,000 rooftop

a goat song

you - middle aged me - you: your grandparents were the king and queen. their dominion seemed without end. few dared to challenge them and when they did they were crushed. they sponsored great artists, scientists and engineers, and the feasts i remember went on for days. but in they end, they were very very sick, and they died. we tried everything. the best doctors came and tried the latest operations. they got the best medicine. nothing worked and finally they passed away. at was then that i found out they were deep in debt. they had sold everything. the land and everything under it. the oceans and everything in it. they had left nothing. but that's not true - they had left behind the waste. CONTINUE: play as circus: generations, terrorist, extinction, torture, dance
