I'll be, #Zizek does get there (see: https://fediphilosophy.org/@Eph/110471776328493702) (by referencing others that do), or at least very close to the #ExodusEarth realization. He/they reframe idea of setting free that which we have come to know and love further, paraphrasing page xxi 'if we #love the #earth/#nature then for our sake, and the earth's/nature's sake, we must set #earth/#nature free.' Zizek only needs to extend his reasoning a little further. Maybe he does elsewhere, we are still neophyte Zizekians.
It is natural to not consider exodus-ing earth to live in space. We prefer the idea of finding another planet to exploit. We tend to repress the idea of living in the vacuum of #space in favor of another planet (diagnosed as planetary chauvinism by Isaac Asimov).
Or if we do empathically and compassionately realize we are no longer healthy for the earth and nature and we need to be removed, we may even contemplate something graver like self-extinction of ourselves, our species.
The #reason (from a gross amateur psychoanalyst) is the idea of living in space is akin to acknowledging the *das ding* of the 'real.' Here, we repress, or maybe more accurately, we are forbidden to acknowledge the existential truth that all existence resides precariously within a vacuous void of unpredictability and unknowing. Or represented more colloquially here by the real idea of living in the vacuum of space. Such an existence isn't imagined as comfortable or cozy for humans or any other earth mammalian species. It literally repulses us we think
We may think there must be another way. But if if we free our philosophy to reach its own conclusion and liberation, as recommended in The Sublime, the ACT will liberate the earth and humanity. We allow the truth to manifest philosophically without the subject, us (xxii).
This is hubris humans sacrificing themselves on the cross of earthly existence so that the earth can be reborn and man abolveres/sublamates to heaven, free of guilt, shame, and other fetters that had up til now invisibly enslaved them.
The most important thing to realize here, practically, as a first step, is that exodus-ing Earth is achievable now. We need not consider deep space, exploring the universe, etc. for now. Exiting Earth is about NEAR SPACE, to orbiting the earth, staying close to our mother but also weaned from her. This is the most profound, liberating, and loving thing we can do for ourselves as a species, but also for the sake of the Mother. It is, as Zizek refers to elsewhere in the preface, *absolvere*.
Collectively, our repressed guilt for being too good at what evolution made us, master exploiters, is destroying us psychoanalytically as it is destroying the earth and all life on it. Exodus Earth will not only exculpate our guilt but allow us to become angels in the sky for our Mother and all her other children.
The Sublime Subject of Ideology, Preface to the New Edition: The Idea's Constipation? Slavoj Zizek
p. xxi
"So, to pursue the rather tasteless metaphor, Hegel was not a sublimated coprophagist, as the usual notion of the dialectical process would lead us to believe. The matrix of the dialectical process is not that of excrementation externalization followed by a swallowing (reappropriation) of the external
ized content, but, on the contrary, of appropriation followed by the excremental move of dropping it, releasing it, letting it go. What this means is that one should not equate externalization with alienation. The externalization which concludes a cycle of dialectical process is not alienation, it is the highest point of disalienation: one really reconciles oneself with some objective content not when one still has to strive to master
and control it, but when one can afford the supreme sovereign gesture of releasing this content from oneself, of setting it free. Which is why, incidentally, and as some of the sharper interpreters have pointed out, far
from subduing nature totally to man, Hegel opens up an unexpected space for ecological awareness: for Hegel, the drive to exploit nature technologically is still a mark of man's finitude; in such an attitude, nature is
perceived as an external object, an opposing force to be dominated, while a philosopher, from his standpoint of Absolute Knowledge, experiences nature not as a threatening force to be controlled and dominated, but as something to be left to follow its inherent path."
End quote.
The realization that we must exit the Earth is traumatic and we will naturally protest and argue the conclusion and its cure and even compromise to going to another planet to exploit. The reasons for living in space are legion from free resources (energy) to space travel itself. The most dangerous, expensive, and resource intensive aspects of space travel is leaving and entering a planets atmosphere. But most profoundly and analytically, is that living in space, where we have nothing to exploit but each other, we have the possibility of truly coming to know ourselves and maybe evolve from Homo exploitus to becoming truly Homo sapiens.
One of frustrating aspects of #scifi is that human nature follows us where ever we go? It doesn't matter how we engineer society or utopias, our nature doesn't allow us to abide Eden. We think we know ourselves and we certainly do not know ourselves from an evolutionary psychology(analysis) perspective. Even worse than not knowing ourselves, we believe we have the will power to change. Our will power is not enough. The more we ignore our true biological and evolutionary natures, the more destructive we become. What we resist, persists. We are uber exploiters, it is the ground of our being (personal thesis). But we can change with wisdom. But not by just willing it, again, our will is not superhuman, but our drive to exploit is. An no amount of therapy can change it, but it can let us see it, for what it really is, an apparently inescapable ideology of nature and evolution.
#Mindfulness is becoming the preferred method of coming to terms with our true nature, Homo exploitus. Mindfulness creates both the space and time to be discerning ourselves before we act. It allows us to act compassionately and consciously. We don't change in that our true natures, Homo exploitus, is still there, but we can sidestep that reality and truly ACT in the Zizekian sense.
The biggest danger is ourselves. Even now, those at the forefront of #FreeSpace aren't advocates of FreeSpace, but capitalists.

Seven of the nine thresholds that allow for human life on #earth have already been crossed | #Science & #Tech | #ELPAÍS English
"Back in 2009, a large group of scientists identified nine limits that humans should not cross if they want the earth to remain hospitable to civilization. These included, among others, the availability of fresh water, the conservation of natural areas, #pollution levels, the #OzoneLayer and, of course, #ClimateChange. Now, a new report just published in the journal #Nature quantifies – for the first time – the thresholds for each of these problems that should not be exceeded, in order for the earth’s system to be safe and just, not only for humans today, but for future generations. However, seven of these thresholds have already been crossed in all or in large swaths of the planet."

Here's the #EarthCommission's score card for how the #Earth is doing on eight global measures, against a posited 'safe & just boundary' for climate sustainability - you'll be unsurprised to find that in seven of these areas we are already beyond that boundary.
Never mind grinding your teeth at the tactics of climate protesters, there are (much) bigger issues to worry about.
the #ClimateCrisis is not some future problem, it is here right now & we're still fannying about talking about 'targets'

A just world on a safe planet: First study quantifying Earth System Boundaries live
"For the first time, safety and justice for humanity on Earth is assessed and quantified for the same control variables regulating life support and Earth stability. Justice, assessed based on avoiding significant harm to people across the world, tightens the Earth system boundaries, providing even less available space for humans on Earth. This is extremely challenging, as the Earth Commission concludes that numerous of the safe boundaries are already crossed today. "
“Justice is a necessity for humanity to live within planetary limits. This is a conclusion seen across the scientific community in multiple heavyweight environmental assessments. It is not a political choice. Overwhelming evidence shows that a just and equitable approach is essential to planetary stability. We cannot have a biophysically safe planet without justice. This includes setting just targets to prevent significant harm and guarantee access to resources to people and for as well as just transformations to achieve those targets”

but then i went and edited the code to make it true and screen shotted it and put it on mastodon.
an important point in the #dream was the yellow font. so this is a yellow font pointing at itself via self-replicating #css code. we use the five elements of #cybermagic for the full replication, and these are:

Almost half of the #earth's animal species are currently declining, according to research led by Queen's University Belfast (QUB).
The study examined population densities of more than 70,000 animals and researchers say it is the most comprehensive record to date.
It found 48% of species on earth are currently undergoing population declines, with less than 3% increasing.
Researchers said it was a drastic alert on the global erosion of #biodiversity.

THIS NATO FOOL HAS ALWAYS BEEN MORE INTERESTED IN FILLING ITS COFFERS WITH A UKRAINE/USA KLONDIKE DAY BONANZA OF OUR TAX PAYER DOLLARS THAN NOTIFYING THE GENRAL PUBLIC OF MILITARY EMMISSIONS COVER UP. NATO NEEDS TO BE DISMANTLED AND THIS LOSER NEEDS TO BE HANDED HIS WALKING PAPERS AND THEN SOME..

#Earth to #humankind:
You know I have lots to offer & if you are careful we can live in harmony.
Humans to Earth: Ha, you're just a lump of rock, there's loads we can exploit here.
Earth to humans: be reasonable there's plenty for everyone if you & the other species work together.
Humans to earth: you've gotta be kidding, we've got fortunes to make.
Earth (sighing) to humans: OK, I've given you time to think carefully about this, I've activated my 'purge protocol':

The Great Lakes are now Mission Blue's First Fresh Water Hope Spot!
"Hope Spot designations ... bring awareness & focus to areas in need of environmental protection/recovery ... & critical collaboration that can influence policy change."
Bravo to Her Deepness Dr. Sylvia Earle for her tireless work in saving the heart of our planet.

I made a new Fedi account for my main music project, @SingleBass. If you like songs and/or bass guitar, you might like to give it a follow!
(It'll be a lower-traffic account than this one, more focused on that one thing.)
And guess what: new song out today as well. The theme of it is how everyone's connected, & no-one's exempt from living in our world as it changes.

Oligocene (Pt 2): Europe's Big Break https://synapsida.blogspot.com/2023/05/oligocene-pt-2-europes-big-break.html
The dawn of the #Oligocene is marked by a sudden cooling of the #Earth's #climate, of which the most obvious consequence was the creation of the #Antarctic ice sheets. These locked up so much water that #SeaLevels dropped worldwide, reshaping coastlines. Nowhere were the consequences of this more apparent than #Europe, despite its great distance from #Antarctica.
Happy birthday to Danish #seismologist Inge Lehmann (1888 – 1993) who demonstrated that the Earth's core is not a single molten sphere, but contained an inner solid core, in ‘36. She was a pioneer #womanInScience, a brilliant seismologist & lived to be 105.
As she first postulated, the #earth has roughly 3 equal concentric sections: mantle, liquid outer core & solid inner core.

A new supercomputer simulation shows how the hot churning of the inner Earth brings pipes of diamonds to the surface.

The second rule shows us why we fundamentally need to treat our resources like nature does: we need to START with the poo (or the “waste” material). All the atoms in nature used to be something else - part of the atmosphere, the soil, various forms of life etc.
Nothing should be considered “waste” - there is no place called Away to put it. Everything has to come round again. We might need to extract things from rocks sometimes, but the framing must be recycling. #climate #Earth #recycling
The first rule (about energy flowing through) shows us what climate change really is: the slow accumulation of energy in the Earth system, because greenhouse gases are slowing down the flow of energy away into space. Animation here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08xy3tj
This is a problem because it puts two of our three life support systems (Earth and the infrastructure of our civilisation) into conflict with each other. The third life support system that each of us has is our own body. #Earth #Climate
Planet Earth has two fundamental rules:
1. Energy flows through (in from sunlight and then radiated away into space some time later - Earth is just a temporary stop-off)
2. Stuff/atoms/matter goes round and round
Every decision we make about a sustainable future should bear those in mind. We can’t change these rules, so we have to choose what we do to work within this system, like the rest of nature does. And this illuminates a lot of issues (see following posts). #climate #Earth #Energy
@danderson The JPL team over the entire span of the voyager project deserve accolades. But what stands out is the philosophy of of making use of limited resources. Back here on earth, continuous improvement bloats software, which obsoletes hardware, which drives sales and creates e-waste. If only we treated the earth as a limited resource?

#atoms clustered into #stars #planets #SolarSystems and #galaxies
In one solar system out of so many, there is a planet that a species named #earth
Besides burning fuels - they made up a #story called Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Scientists related the Goldilocks story to the evidence - life was only possible because variables were, for example, not too hot and not too cold.
The Planets #GoldilocksZone is also dependent on the chemical composition of its atmosphere #ClimateChange
We should stop thinking that the #earth is doomed. It's that very thinking that stops people from taking action. The earth is NOT DOOMED. In fact, it's very much alive and most likely will out live the human race. This idea of flower bombs is very interesting https://www.epicgardening.com/how-to-make-seed-bombs/ #rewilding

🌏 Happy Earth Day! How about celebrating by planting native plants in your yard & becoming part of Homegrown National Park https://homegrownnationalpark.org/? It’s a grassroots call-to-action to regenerate biodiversity & ecosystem function by planting native plants. The HNP website can help you find native plants for your area. So far 28,000+ people including my husband & me have joined this project. I hope you take part!

Are you climate anxious? One way to address that stress is to make real changes (even small ones) in your everyday life.
For Earth Day, we recruited nine experts in fields like beauty, fashion, finance and parenting to get their best tips. Here are the reading lists they created: https://flipboard.com/@flipboard/how-to-allay-your-eco-anxiety-sq0cb8qaqb52jfqr
Contributors include Erin Brockovich, Cyrill Gutsch, Anne-Marie Bonneau and more.

You can always do your part; use public transportation when possible, reduce your meat consumption.
But remember that just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions* and our focus needs to be on them and the politicians** that enable them.
May today's #EarthDay be a reminder of the urgency we face, and a call to action.
- Demand that our elected officials step up (if you're in the US: https://whoaremyrepresentatives.org)
- Donate to and volunteer with organizations whose mission is to protect our environment
- Consider supporting advocacy groups like https://www.sunrisemovement.org and https://350.org
Apart from a viral weather satellite video - see https://twitter.com/CIRA_CSU/status/1649124165843320832 or https://twitter.com/NOAASatellites/status/1649157234260344836 or https://twitter.com/NWSSeattle/status/1648920690790391809 - we now also have views of the #umbra of the Moon on #Earth during the April 20 #SolarEclipse from EPIC on the #DSCOVR satellite, taken from the direction of the #Sun at 3:39 and 5:27 UTC.
happy Earth day! this weekend the band Earth has most of their discography on sale for pay-what-you-want! (everything released on Southern Lord, so anything released this millennium)

#SpaceX The games we play.
I don't understand how people can view this incidence as anything more than utter stupidity. The rocket had enough fuel to release CO2 equivalent to 350 long distance jet flights, the metals that didn't burn into the atmosphere fell into the ocean. #NASA & #Musk go about it like it's a game, "let's do it again, see what happens" #Media makes a joke.
