🧵1/6 Now the bright fortnight comes to an end & must I go. Everything which it is necessary to know, at this time, I have said. 👋
I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff. "Numbers released in May by the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicate that if Congress approves the cuts to the agency proposed by the White House, the number of early-career researchers it supports could fall by 78%" (@science.org)
‘It’s a nightmare.’ U.S. funding cuts threaten academic science jobs at all levels
“There is a lot of pressure to essentially leave the country or not pursue research,” one Ph.D. student says

The Trump regime's attacks on science & the rule of law may be part of a longer term fascistic agenda to disempower every aspect of society that stands in the way of weaponizing climate chaos & ecosystem collapse to create a "new" society of extreme exploitation, profit & power

The European Hermitages Project was set up to restore Europe's network of lost sacrosanct ancient forests and the inner tradition that gave rise to them.

9. On the biodiversity front, TEHP has a fund to buy up large areas of land and create biodiversity reservoirs, biodiversity corridors and sacrosanct ancient forest. The goal is to restore the ancient network of these, that once stretched from the Atlantic coasts of the British Isles into Asia

The golden rule in society, for people practicing business is that business people themselves must never have more wealth than the poorest people in the society. If you want more, make sure everyone has more. This golden rule totally changes the dynamics in society from harmful to beneficial.
1. 🧵 It would be tremendously helpful if we could properly separate the intellectual strata of society from the business strata
We have this terrible cognitive dissonance, whereby time after time business people do something terrible. We all say: "Oh this is terrible, how did it happen? Surely we need to put more money into business" And then of course, something worse happens. So it goes round, without anyone noticing
Getting the human world to operate in opposition to the natural world is quite a feat really. This ultra fubar has been brought about by implementing the ideology known as business. Business, the word originally meant fearful - fearful about abundance. Lacking in faith, lacking in understanding
Lack of awareness, underpins all present problems. This is a lack of awareness of the nature of the Self and the way the world works. Because of this lack of awareness there is no discernment. From lack of discernment come poor decisions aiming at the wrong goal.
Everyone is beginning to understand the "find out" part of "Fuck around find out". But almost no one understands the fucking around they have all been doing, to get themselves into this situation.
People seem to think its only the pursuit of wealth by the billionaire class which is harmful. It is just as harmful in the middle class, and in the working class. I appreciate this is a bit like telling glue-sniffers that sniffing glue is harmful.
"On a global scale, the way food is grown is the primary driver of biodiversity loss, threatening 24,000 of the 28,000 species at risk of extinction, at a higher rate today than in the past 10 million years." - @jennifermolidor.bsky.social @biologicaldiversity.org gradfoodstudies.org/2025/06/19/a...

Populations that are chaotic on the inside, make disordered societies and have corrupt and clusterf*ckry governments. What is difficult to understand about this?
this is how civilizations end
David Gilbert@davidgilbert.bsky.social · last yr.Extremists, right-wing influencers and GOP lawmakers spent the days after the tragic Texas floods pushing conspiracies about "weather weapons."

LA: “This is the cutting edge of the authoritarian fascist takeover of 🇺🇸— your silence will not save you… pretending like nothing’s going on will not save you… if you don’t stop these fascist thugs here, they’re coming for you.”
From the National Archives’ MI5 exhibition: a document reporting Hitler’s description of Chamberlain as “an arsehole”.
“It is astounding how easy the democracies make it for us to reach our goal” and “the more they offer the more blusteringly I will make demands on them” - still, urgh, relevant

Falling societies only ever renew themselves through people leaving them, and starting again in a new direction.
Biodiversity loss is a climate change multiplier. Every species we lose, every ecosystem we destroy weakens the planet’s resilience capacity.
