„Angry at the tech CEOs who have benefited from the scientific research that has enabled their technology empires, but have mounted no opposition to the cuts. People like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos are conspicuously silent. We should call them out,”
“A human lifetime is very limited in time and space, compared to the universe.” In a way, it is humbling, but it’s also a relief to know that there’s a larger structure of which we’re a part that is so grand. Our imperfections, our struggles, our travails, when you put them in perspective, they somehow don’t seem so traumatic.”
We’re all emotional animals. And when there’s a crisis—when there’s no time to study the situation for weeks—we have to decide **now**. We react through our understanding and experiences. So yes, that means we’re all idiots, vulnerable to corruption.
That’s why we created **scientific methods**: to overcome the unchangeable parts of our inner selves.
A person who can clearly see and admit they’re corrupted, selfish, and greedy? They can still create techniques to control themselves. When a person clearly sees that they **can’t change anything**, that’s the first step.
I think the most horrible things—what’s happened and what will happen—come from this sickness in our minds. **And it is unchangeable.**
Environment Scientist(Student), I like positivity news, fitness, Olympic lifting, Linux, Fediverse, art, music, books, science, universe, activism.
Science is not media. I try to avoid, and I am not interested in Media politics, Media religion, media marketing, media economics and trades of those medians.

As meditating- listening to myself (Krishnamurti).
Memento mori — “Remember that you must die.”
Memento amoris — “Remember love.”
We are concerned with observing the actual facts, the ‘what is’. To observe ‘what is’ very clearly and to see the full significance of those facts, we must look at it without our conditioning. That is where the difficulty is going to lie, because you have opinions, you have values, you approach them as a Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, or what you will, with your nationality, with your peculiar idiosyncrasies, and these prevent you from observing, from looking. Observation is an art. It is not easily learnt. One has observed neither the sunset nor the stars, neither the trees nor the facts, outwardly or inwardly. So, if we are going to travel together – and I hope we will – we have to observe scientifically, ruthlessly and with great intelligence.
From Collected Works, Vol. 14 (krishnamurti)
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” — Albert Einstein

For these crimes alone you must be prosecuted.

in reply to European Commission • • •What about finally doing something about overconsumption of plastic sht up until clothes?! It's getting hard to get cotton clothesninstead of all those plastics poly-whatever mixes clothes are made of. Microfibre, also plastics. How will you stop those and change it back to natural fibres - not just cotton - if you want net-zero greenhouse emission in 24y time?

in reply to Catha • • •@Catha @European Commission there are so many problems out there and I think it is relevant and necessary to talk about trade. As long as we base our society on this mechanism, it is like monopoly and and we see problems everywhere.
We need more #trade-free goods & services and the #EU can fund those people who do amazing work and without that, our society would collapse: directory.trade-free.org/

in reply to European Commission • • •that is your solution to tackle #climateChange? To tax hard working #farmers which produce organic food and clean our air?
To make things even worse, the alternative is the production of #plasticFood which is carcinogenic and further pollutes our environment.

Your AC isn't your problem, Europe, your gas-dependent heating systems are.

The country I am currently resident does not leave a cm2 un-manicured or tampered with. Its gone on for so long whole generations do not understand what nature is and the difference to farm land, I have the feeling I live in a carpark

Geothermal power-plants seems as a great ecological solution while also providing the opportunity to mine while producing electricity.
UK did it, we shall too. :)
