This kind of thing gets me going. These sort of reversals of agency. Also, the idea that things get caused by dreams. There is something in me that wants to explore all these things that don’t fit the not modernity
Really enjoyed listening to this thought provoking and interesting @BBCRadio4
Programme just now: “Building Soul - with Thomas Heatherwick. Why Boring Buildings Are Bad for Us. “
Yet another area modernity has got all wrong. (And yes i know, being anti-modern is problematic, but just occasionally i do enjoy letting rip) #Architecture#Modernity
Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population.
We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused.
Without this type of all-out, universal cooperation, human civilization, and perhaps humanity itself, are in imminent danger of extinction.
There isn't a single aspect of #modernity that we can afford to overlook when considering how we can reduce or eliminate our releasing of #GreenhouseGasses into the #atmosphere including, but not limited to, #carbon, the most abundant of such #gasses#human activity produces.
@Aviation_Librarian The casual #racism of depicting the entire continent of #Africa as being wholly bereft of #modernity, and of sharing such an image without proper context or commentary.
