From his Wikipedia page: Jason Edward Hickel is an anthropologist and professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Hickel’s research and writing focuses on economic anthropology and development, and is particularly opposed to capitalism, neocolonialism, as well as economic growth as a measure of human development.
What Hickel says at left is undoubtedly true. What makes this interesting is that human civilization is now threatened with extinction, specifically because of his claim, i.e., that our society is willing to ignore science when capital is at stake.
How far is humankind willing to go before it puts science in charge of policymaking when it comes to staving off catastrophe? Nobody knows.
Here, Trump urges voters to “cheat like hell” to help the Republicans win the 2026 primaries.
I have never understood how anyone, regardless of how unintelligent and mean-spirited, could vote for Trump. Now, this whole concept is even harder to grasp.
There are many countries around the globe whose people have a deep and honest concern for the wellbeing of their planet and its civilization. As shown at left, Costa Rico is most certainly among them.
Perhaps you live in such a nation. I sure wish I could say that I did.
The United States has too many greedy billionaires and too many hateful idiots.
It was just 25 years ago that the whole world embraced the United States and shared our grief after 9/11.
We’ve taken all that kinship and discarded it as if it were a soiled paper towel.
