Water.

In the most known Bashkir epic “Ural-batyr”, the world is born out of water in complete darkness.

The first piece of land is wet and swampy, and that primordial swamp symbolizes chaos – the state when the soil and the water are yet to be separated.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is at record highs and a failed DOGE associate is worth half a trillion. The 2-tiered economy will get worse...until something cracks.

Scientists ... them's got mortgages, careers, funding needs, professional reputations, institutional pressure and (some) got money to make on books with the same old spiel, "things are very, very bad but 🧚if we do x, y and z". Them's also human so just as likely to be having a puff on the hopium

What we need in all climate discussions is bookmakers - they will just work on probability and give the odds.

for climate. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Er, well ... ummm... a bit. At least if it doesn't interfere with growth, growth, growth!

Mind you, apparently, UK economy hasn't grown sufficiently for a number of years. That's massive. Peeps who underplay economy don't realise what a failing economy means and it certainly doesn't mean money

What if the real rebellion begins in the body?

This isn't just personal; it's systemic. The revolution doesn't happen out there, it starts in here.

what we want - our bodies will dictate to us and we, at the most, will hope that our bodies will support us, meet us half-way.

The reign of the conscious "I" is ending; the reign of the body returns. The King is dead, long live the King.

I reckon the body is gonna make a *BIG* comeback. With collapse, in rich countries, everyone (except for a while 1%) will have to accept the body rules. We will no longer "dictate" to our bodies, we won't have the time (in survival) and the means to try to make our bodies into

Gilgamesh! He made Lilith flee and had the Hullupu tree chopped up! 😠 (BTW I don't believe this is what Innana actually wanted: patriarchal takeover).

Bombastic eff-er too -

The fifty minas weighed as little to him as fifty feathers."

I'm too old, too tired (and we're all too far into collapse) to have the conceit to "evangelise" under the guise of debate. Bless you in your future afterlife. ❤️
