Our sky was not always blue

The blue sky we observe depends upon two factors: how sunlight interacts with Earth's atmosphere, and how our eyes perceive that light.

An exciting story

Politics never has been about people making decisions exclusively only for themselves, but has always been a complex endehavor. The idea is that politics is about issues that affects the POLIS, the community. But it just doesn´t work this way. Democracy, too, is just another method of measuring and enforcing power.

For a long time the reactions of Earth to our humanactions remained unnoticed. Now it is obvious. And we have understood that there are millions and millions of non-human working on a project called THE HABITABLE ZONE. We see the creation of this thin crust is based on a permanent process of exchange. Giving and taking.

Increasingly, we are realizing that society can not centered solely on humanity. There is a general movement toward the soil and new attention to the ways people might inhabit it.

We also know that we have to give up various things and habits if we really want to make a change.

The Turning Point

The sky is falling. The Falling sky by Davi Kopenawa refers to a non-anthropocentric understanding of ecology and a different comprehension of nature. How to deal with the cosmic entropy. In his book he speaks about the Yanomami of the Brazilian Amazon, people whose very existence is in jeopardy. He speaks about a world where ancient indigenous knowledge and shamanic traditions cope with the global geopolitics of an insatiable natural resources extraction industry. There was a Turning Point....years ago.

In biology the Cartesian view of living organisms as machines, constructed from separat parts, still provides the dominant conceptual framework.

Causality is a magical thing

We have talked too much about the fact that the question of tomorrow is closely linked to the question of the idea of being human. This is only true insofar as the question of being human has so far been detached from the old certainty that the human being is only a small part of the whole. And that is now well known and yet. Nothing happens. The dishwasher also runs for only 2 cups, the organic vegetables are frozen, you can additional eat seasonally.

The consumption of electricity for the many little things in life. More than two thirds of it is unnecessary. Mainly because we do not switch off many appliances after use out of convenience, habit and carelessness. Light pollution in the home and in cities. And that brings us to bugs and insects. As beautiful and big and wide as the Prignitz is, the monoculture has done it. Even in the flowering strips at the edges of the fields, no insects can be counted anymore. The population has changed dramatically. And no insects means no birds. Soon man will have done it. All alone in the world, and he simply doesn't have to be considerate at all. On nothing and nobody.

At the same time, every bird house on the balcony, at the window counts. The animals have replaced their shyness with despair. So close and grateful they are. Now one sound like the fairy from the storybook. The touching, the caring, that's what one left the nest for. Just not sentimental and backward. Progress has always meant war and aggression. Progress was always loud and shrill.

And now you're back in the village and realize everything is work and therefore time. How the inner beat changes again after 2 days, no click click changes us the field of vision. You have to turn your head yourself.
