76: Extinction Kills Us, Extinction Saves Us
Intolerance is in direct relationship to over-consumption and to the Earth's reaction to our attempt to consume all of life. The Earth's response is to save life, and so... We gotta boogie with the Sixth Extinction!

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.

Jeff is the top emitter of CO2, and he likes the Glasgow agreement, which gives him more time for his waste. Kyle updates hate for the TikTok generation. They leave us with the question, where is our love?

71: Only Wacky Monsters like Thanos and the IPC...
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.

47: Wild Dreams of A New Beginning REVISITED
There’s a massive counter-intuitive job up ahead, a gift from the Earth that we can’t refuse. The Extinction is a mysterious process of death and life, and it is not a product. It's not something we’ve done before in our Consumer society.

59: The Earth Calling Faraway Towns
To You, We are Earthers. We live in a radical little town called Earthalujahville. We shout Earthalujah! as we walk down our imaginary streets. We're working on a manifesto, a living document as guidance while the 6th Extinction rolls over us. There is not much teaching on the subject in a consumer society. Possibly our country is self-censoring because we want to monetize extinction but can't sell it. Is that why public figures give the Sixth Extinction the silent treatment? So we make up our own rules for living as the physical environment collapses around us. Our beliefs come from the common sense that can flourish in an imaginary community. So let's talk. How do we do this? Our manifesto needs to be like a clearing in a forest, a living document that updates as instantaneously as actual life. The Earth's extinction is showing the way, with fire and virus and flood, every hour of every day to the end. Earthalujah!
