Today in the fall of western civilization: Why do so many right now want to *believe* we are living in a sci-fi cyberpunk world, defined by tech like AI? Could it be they subconsciously sense that the fundamentals of our culture, economy & ecology are collapsing & clinging to "progress' is a illusory comfort blanket? 🤡

Economic Growth and Ecological Harmony are fundamentally conflicting goals
China's recent history is a great example that technologically driven economic (hyper) growth and ecological harmony are fundamentally conflicting goals: China used to be 40% renewables. Then economic growth happened. Bottomed in 2011 at 7.4% Now at 10%, with 1.8% from solar PV and wind. Fossil fuels still provide 87.3% of all primary energy. Data source: IEA.

The Late Capitalist Art Apocalypse
My wife has been a pro comic artist for 10y. Today she reported that Pixiv - Japan's leading art community - has been massively flooded by AI generated content. All ranking lists are now dominated by accounts that upload 1000s of AI images/day. A catastrophe for artists like her.

"Together against the stupidity of prosperity" - Unauthorized protest and sign by Tobias Wirz (2016)
Unbewilligte Demo «Gemeinsam gegen die Wohlstandsverblödung». Tausende ShopperInnen marschierten zusammen mit mir auf der Bahnhofstrasse in Zürich, um still und friedlich gegen unser eigenes Verhalten zu protestieren, indem wir uns selbst die richtige Frage stellten. Die Stadtpolizei war präsent, hatte aber zum Schutze des Umsatzes Befehl, nicht einzuschreiten. Foto von Nusch Locher.

We humans really need to start to take mutual aid much more serious, the timing is perfect. Been thinking & doing a lot in this area. Reach out if serendipity calls you - cause our survival depends on cooperation, not competition. Die gemeinsame praxis. Die direkte gegenseitige Hilfe. Die Hilfe zur selbst-hilfe.

Mutual aid is “cooperation for the sake of the common good.” It’s getting people to come together to meet each other’s needs, recognizing that as humans, our survival is dependent on one another.

On putting a price on nature
For followers of the cult of techno-capitalism, abstraction is a holy duty, everything has a price and the total commodification of nature is a natural law. These are non-negotiable commandments, even for the progressive cultists.
