Anyone try Mastodon yet? The EDC has an account now, but I can’t seem to get motivated enough to use my own Mastodon account. Fed up with Twitter too though. What to do.

I have been thinking on this content for the past weeks (and always hope forthcoming publications of mine in the pipeline would come out to summarize my points better), especially on the growth and economy bit, and for sure the pluralization of ideas, but also words and meanings to them.

My questions to this are:

What comes after decay? Isn’t…

This is possibly a more metadiscussion about the contexts of the EDC and ecological solidarities, as well as how my (German) father read about the Saito book in the German magazine “Der Spiegel” and said it sounded like my PhD dissertation (which he hasn’t read) based on my anti-capitalist points for climate justice.

My main premise isn’t…

I just saw the book post/suggestion about Kohei Saito’s new book, and since my thoughts here are neither about having read the book or suggesting to read it, I wanted to start a different discussion motivated by that, but not necessarily about it.

Points of interest to discuss, mainly political anthropology and collectivist theory, but also…

"Nothing" doesn't exist. Instead, there is "quantum foam"

Quantum physics shows that there is no such thing as "nothing." Even in a vacuum, particles can blink into and out of existence.
