Profit-seeking extracts maximum value from labor while giving as little back to the workers as possible. At the same time, profit-seeking extracts maximum energy and biomass from ecosystems while giving as little back to the environment as possible. Capitalism is unsustainable for both society and the planet. 2026-10-22T13:29:43Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszglepdmynu9x4m77uz0kv0c4f3p0zzs2fp2vc3c369a89d555zagzyr4ya30u0r4nv6n2es00qr3usyhltx7u8uk3lyha8qnyua6y6u4zvcf29ul Society is at a crisis point. Democratically, economically, and ecologically, many of the systems we rely on are breaking down.

Often it&#39;s reduced to an environmental sentiment that doesn&#39;t reflect much more than a nature-loving outlook. On the other side, while ecology is concerned with the scientific understanding of organic life&#39;s patterns, scientists often omit any political, social, cultural, or ethical aspects in their explanations. These are serious flaws, because society developed from nature, and thus one can only be understood in the context of the other. 2026-10-19T20:49:20Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2ggnl6e30vsvrpfhet59wgmfcp384dxasfp8pguyeq8na9t5gq3czyr4ya30u0r4nv6n2es00qr3usyhltx7u8uk3lyha8qnyua6y6u4zvrx5dq8 Between TikTok banning the “Musk” documentary and Meta suspending No Kings accounts, not a great day for capitalist social media 2026-10-17T21:28:11Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvgf4dxw60545jskuhvvu5nnzpsgvk7lmau6ddpwf54vj30wl87kqzyr4ya30u0r4nv6n2es00qr3usyhltx7u8uk3lyha8qnyua6y6u4zv35fyq5 Hey #wildfire folks–is there a database of North American wildfires by type (1-5) available anywhere? <br/><br/>#askfedi 2026-10-14T17:07:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgpdnc3sy58dmkcqpdg6d6674ruyfmkvpmj3r7yem6xnu6vy9qx5czyr4ya30u0r4nv6n2es00qr3usyhltx7u8uk3lyha8qnyua6y6u4zvgfjqqq I see you posted something online that didn’t also include the entire canon of collective human knowledge, so now I’m going to angrily reply 2026-10-11T22:11:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgxcv2kcgpyku6n3ahu662rdj6c2dz4cscrz57vcx5q8eq5d75n4czyr4ya30u0r4nv6n2es00qr3usyhltx7u8uk3lyha8qnyua6y6u4zvjchn4a It’s time<br/> <img src="https://ecoevo-social.s3.de.io.cloud.ovh.net/media_attachments/files/117/379/764/578/474/684/original/0dbc43346cd9c1e4.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-10-04T00:18:05Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszfk7nyghf70d5wv99jcdddqvf3rvad3xvvkmc5ceapyrj32m9k8szyr4ya30u0r4nv6n2es00qr3usyhltx7u8uk3lyha8qnyua6y6u4zvdyqq87 Call me paranoid but the main lackey of an authoritarian regime purging one fifth of military leadership ahead of a nationwide election seems not great 2026-10-01T01:07:23Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrdj5ccjgrs6gl3ns4nvjmgmsl8e0jh834twzwjmnwk9vlvfh9j8czyr4ya30u0r4nv6n2es00qr3usyhltx7u8uk3lyha8qnyua6y6u4zvnx4nxk You are not overreacting to the climate crisis.

But this assumes that that higher function of thought can operate without the lower to support it, which is in pretty much direct contradiction of all philosophy of mind. 2026-05-02T01:10:38Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsg3fnzhryt2wahuygp6xvaqqklhnl65zr7ukc6w6f3gn6yprtvs7qzyr4ya30u0r4nv6n2es00qr3usyhltx7u8uk3lyha8qnyua6y6u4zvkgrsx7 Most of us have been desensitized to the risks of climate change and ecological collapse. Even those of us who are aware of the problem rarely think about its full scope, but the reality is civilizational-scale threats within this century.

Environmental discourse is often rife with misanthropy, but blaming all of humanity for ecological destruction misses the true cause. Global capitalism exploits people as much as it does the land. It&#39;s the system that is responsible, and that’s what we need to change. 2026-04-22T14:58:16Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs070kp8zclpht2cu403yd0ghyuxck9fvaa9s5grtm6u66sgt0lvjczyr4ya30u0r4nv6n2es00qr3usyhltx7u8uk3lyha8qnyua6y6u4zv2x2sx4 Writing a research grant proposal is cool because it’s basically just asking for a tiny sum of money to generate knowledge that could definitely benefit society but won’t because someone who is already rich needs to be richer 2026-04-21T17:20:46Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgg2z2wafkulreadzvks72c2a6f637uadhq9mm9k27dcuc0tzv0qczyr4ya30u0r4nv6n2es00qr3usyhltx7u8uk3lyha8qnyua6y6u4zvcywsad “AI is here to stay” says the makers of NFTs, the metaverse, Google Glass, Windows Phone 2026-04-20T18:55:57Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0mah4rp2vd87pxkz9x30u7m7dfq03p5dlh4dkww5sm6d0jgh9qhgzyr4ya30u0r4nv6n2es00qr3usyhltx7u8uk3lyha8qnyua6y6u4zvyyt52v We should probably destroy Palantir 2026-04-19T13:27:11Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsw4jvvkcg2uwa57a7xs48hnsgwzgg09hlsqea5x8scggyuevrzs4qzyr4ya30u0r4nv6n2es00qr3usyhltx7u8uk3lyha8qnyua6y6u4zv53yf4l Demand for oil is tanking on rising costs, and now is the time to fast track our transition to renewable energy.

Food, energy, housing, transportation, and the environment are controlled by political and economic forces existing far beyond the reach of neighborhoods, towns, and most cities. We desperately need new forms of producing what we need that are democratically controlled at the local scale. 2026-03-23T14:48:35Z
