Hi Brian et al, I hope you won't mind me sharing this here ... "Live Like A River" is Brian's "case study" presentation about the Casa Rio Lab project at the the opening of DAY 2 of HKW's conference "ZivilizationsFrage" ( investigating the Graeber + Wengrow's The Dawn Of Everything, the anthropological perspectives on our unfolding crises ) https://www.hkw.de/en/programm/projekte/veranstaltung/p_206003.php... ... I found it to be one of the more inspiring, tactical and pragmatic presentations of two back-to-back weekend conferences. The first of the two conferences was "Unearthing The Present" ( the geological perspectives, and very western-industrial science-nerdy, focused on measurements and studying "cores" ) ... Won't have time to write up any deep thinking on all that 2day... but, in a brief recap: it was really tragic that there was not more overlapping dialogue + DEBATE between the scientists and the anthropologists... ( and Other ... namely the global south ! ) ( I think Brian was the only presenter at both, which demonstrated well the possible bridges ) The ( usual academic ) problem with this compartmentalization of these themes, is that it made it difficult to illuminate more effective collaborative strategies that perhaps require these fields to interact with each other. i..e ... through the anthropological lens it becomes apparent that we are locked deep in a techo-colonialism and the hyper-industrializing industries + nation-states, which needs a good cracking open ... and re-imagining.... and even a liberation of the sciences from their current corporate-krapitalist origins + idiocracies ! i.e ... the geological frame mostly obfuscates the real roots of our endangered habitat, the environmental devastation and the challenges ahead. Anthropocene is really off-base analysis. It is not WE HUMANS who are to blame, it is corporate agendas and their structures, lies, atrocities, exploitations and abuse, which has most of the global population trapped and/or hijacked by its operating systems which are designed to benefit the FEW, at the expense of the many ( and many species ). ie ... imagine what an ecological and technological commons would look like, if we dismantled the current TECHNO-FASCISM ! i.e... Another world is not only possible, it is an absolute necessity if we wish to avoid the very worst of the environmental and social collapse ! In fact, maybe even "collapse" is not the appropriate word if one inserts a vision for INTENTIONAL down-scaling and de-globalization. i.e... Perhaps hard extractive Science is not the King-maker, rather social relations and the social and biological "organism" ! ... some rough notes... all the best, podinski p.s. sorry for my first misfired post ( minus content ), if that manages to appear at all.
