Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXX– We’re Saved! Ecomodernism.
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXX– We’re Saved! Ecomodernism.

Contemplation (see: Website Medium Substack), I thought it might be appropriate to assess the environmental philosophy that tends to lead the way in pushing ‘technological problem-solving’: Ecomodernism. Let’s […]

Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXIX– We’re Saved! Pulling It Together…So Far. After my previous We’re Saved! Contemplation (see: Website Medium Substack)–another in my series that has attempted to pull the curtain aside on excessively-hyped ‘solutions’ to our various predicaments–I couldn’t help but notice that there are a number of commonalities in the critiques for the […]
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXVII– We’re Saved! Wave Energy.
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXVII– We’re Saved! Wave Energy. A relatively recent article and some social media click-bait site posts have me exploring the potential of wave energy-harvesting technologies. But as with every such technological promise examined in the last dozen or so Contemplations, a close scrutiny of wave energy shows that it does not […]

Part 3 In Parts 1 (Website Medium Substack) and 2 (Website Medium Substack) of this multipart Contemplation I present the case that humanity’s psychological defense mechanisms (especially denial, bargaining, and techno-optimism) are preventing most from becoming aware of and/or better understanding the predicaments […]
