"You are supposed to ignore this." Hmmmm. Where is that supposition coming from? I don't think it's anywhere you can pin down, but it describes the sweep of history, of two steps forward one step back as its pattern. With atrocities calling up alternatives, it is so atrocious now that we're hopefully getting mad enough not to take it anymore, and fingers crossed this body without a head somehow organizes itself to make the radical changes we need for industrialized civilization to survive. Maybe it's time to put some heads together to get creative about what to do...???
It’s a true tenet of fascism throwing the veil over the heads of the populace! Chaos, distraction, DRAMA!
Having power, not following law or morality!
BYW: Those leadership, “heads”, police, FBI, high up government officials have been complicit for decades with Trump, Epstein, Russian mafia in Trump Towers. Check out Russian oligarchs staying at Trump properties while pregnant! Birthright citizenship only if wealthy and white!
Republicans hate democracy and have thwarted progress and protection for Americans, always voting for less not more!
Indeed, wrong comes up to meet us everywhere, but "supposed to" would indicate a directive has been issued. If that had been the case, a rebuttal would be in order. But, there's something fuzzier than that being proffered, and grappling with what's fuzzy is a fuzzy thing to do.
One form of this change is the infuriating inability or unwillingness of “the other party” (i.e., the Democrats to stand up and fight back. Congress is at a 51-49 split and most of the Democrats have just rolled over and exposed their bellies. At the same time there is such a huge hope for “winning it all back” in the 2026 midterm elections. Because those are the methods we’ve been taught to rely on as Americans.
This is great! There is a field that looks at social convergence using principles of nature as a guide. Interesting stuff.
As a mathematician, I started thinking of violations to model convergence as ways to impede a new equilibrium. Multicollinearity, quasi-separation, complexity...a million ways to miss. But this relates to predicting the outcome, not necessarily changing it at surface level.
The change is in the numbers. But people have to wake up and pay attention. And like Jared says, we can't look away.
Academic...ish, As a humanities grad student I audited an intro-level geology course and Loved it. Our text was Understanding Earth-Press/ Siever/ Grotzinger/ Jordan. I don't do maths alas. My gateway drug was Simon Winchester re. Krakatoa🌋

Thank you, Jared-this is fantastic!
F*ckin' A, Jared. Frighteningly eloquent and astute.

Can you reco any geomorph / plate tectonics writers? I Love this stuff and the deep structures and deep time of earth keep me sane...ish!
Thank You! I will check him out!
