RIP to a real one

Tweet from Jason Hickel on Jan 6 2022 saying: "The climate crisis reveals that our civilization has never really been organized around science, contrary to the usual Enlightened narrative. It is organized around capital. Science is embraced when it serves the interests of capital, and is often ignored when it does not."

Most excellent, Jeff! 👏

I’m currently reading Samantha Vice’s The Ethics of Animal Beauty en route to London. Vice’s central claim is that appreciating animals’ beauty in virtue of their “animation” is both aesthetically and ethically significant, calling for fitting responses, including care. Written review incoming!

Biodiversity touches every aspect of our lives – so why has its loss been ignored? From the environment to economics, our security to our societies, biodiversity is vital. Preserving it will require transformative change

Although older, this article is still relevant. I'm often shocked to learn that few working outside of environmental ethics or conservation (seem to) find biodiversity loss pressingly worrisome. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Great to see you here, Alexis! 🙂

World's first wooden satellite, developed in Japan, heads to space The world's first wooden satellite, built by Japanese researchers, was launched into space on Tuesday, in an early test of using timber in lunar and Mars exploration.

Sustainable tech must include the minimization of space debris & pollution through intelligent satellite design (e.g., minimizing energetic construction costs & particulate matter upon re-entry). A huge thanks to Shannon Abelson for bringing this to my attention! www.reuters.com/technology/s...
