In a general sense, biospheres are any closed, self-regulating systems containing ecosystems. Planet Earth’s biosphere is considered closed, although it does receive energy from the Sun, and some space dust enters our atmosphere, as well as the odd meteorite. Those externalities apply to all biospheres, and life cannot live without…
Excrement
Fun topic!When you ask AI about cavemen, it said: Archaeological evidence, such as fossilized feces (coprolites), has been found in ancient hearths and other sites, suggesting that waste was sometimes left in or near places where they lived and cooked12. This indicates that while they might have had some basic…

MPox is Killing Children
I find it highly weird that reporting around MPox and Ebola skirts around the most relevant information. People in Congo have a culture of hugging the dead and dying, and so those diseases spread. Children are now dying. That’s it, that’s the whole story. And the reason why it doesn’t…
Living Underground Long Term
Stewart Brand in an article about the Ten Thousand Year Clock Many of the best preserved artefacts probably spent most of their time underground. The subterranean environment protects them from sunlight and generally keeps a very stable temperature. The rise and fall of temperature accelerates oxidation and aging. In fact,…

Within the rioting can be a feeling of camaraderie, adrenaline and opportunism. I’m suggesting a focus on long-term, planned, more targeted, lesser assaults on capitalism. For example,…

Inspiration, not Organization
A movement with no leaders, and no organizational structure, is of course much harder to stop. Consider the fans of a football team. They might have season tickets or some form or membership, but ultimately, they are a collective of individuals who have a shared goal – turn up at…

Infrastructure Sabotage Paris Olympics
The Paris Olympics of 2024 have been very informative so far, because there have been active attempts at sabotage, some being successful. When everything in human society is a target, defending against sabotage is close to impossible. On the day of the opening ceremony an incredible 800,000 people had their…
A Secret Militia For Australia?
From all of my research, I can think of no finer structure for an organisation than being decentralised, and having shells within shells. Few people would suspect that a group seeking to reduce inequality has an ambition to remove all traces of human civilisation. Australia does not really have any…
