81: The United States of the Sixth Extinction
What would it take to be honest about the hypo-evolution that is sweeping through the biosphere, and biting us in the ass? That intense honesty will require whole communities to be truth-tellers…

Gratitude is a powerful thing -- a physical, practical part of being a revolutionary for the Earth. The emergency of the Earth gives us more and more to be grateful for. Thank you for the Extinction, which teaches us what to do with the lives that we have left.

75: Accept Extinction. Find Hope in Hopelessnes...
Take a walk in a beautiful forest. The dying and being born is so constant that the place is flickering. We are like that now. Death is a part of life. It's like the sound of skidding tires when you know you are in a car accident. There is something comforting in the inevitability of it.

Thoughts before going to COP26. The fossil culture’s way of death is to kill others at will, in the manner of an unconscious empire, but then also to make the denial entertaining with “optics”, vampire face-lifts, and Bezos’ loans to fake scientists with dyed goatees.
