\u201cI had grasped the significance of the silence of the dog, for one true inference invariably suggests others\u2026. Obviously the midnight visitor was someone whom the dog knew well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is it possible to make sense out of nonsense?<\/p>\n

So much these days is an incoherent mess.\u00a0 It\u2019s complete nonsense.<\/p>\n

Page 1 excitedly beams about a glorious rebound in GDP.\u00a0\u00a0Yay economic growth!<\/em><\/p>\n

Page 2 worryingly notes the near complete failure of Siberian arctic ice to reform during October and that hurricane Zeta (so many storms this year we\u2019re now into the Greek alphabet!) has made punishing landfall.<\/p>\n

Each is a narrative. Each has its own inner logic.<\/p>\n

But they simply do not have any external coherence to each other. It\u2019s nonsensical to be excited about rising economic growth while also concerned that each new unit of growth takes the planet further past a critical red line.<\/p>\n

These narratives are incompatible. So which one should we pick?<\/p>\n

Well, in the end, reality always has the final say. As Guy McPherson states:\u00a0Nature bats last.<\/em><\/p>\n

So better we choose to follow the narrative that hews closest to what reality actually is, vs what we desperately want it to be.<\/p>\n

\u2018They\u2019 Don\u2019t Care About Us<\/h2>\n

While issues like climate change and economic growth may be difficult to fully grasp and unravel, direct threats to our lives &\/or livelihoods are much more concrete and something we can react to and resist.<\/p>\n

Such immediate and direct threats are now fully in play and, once again, they\u2019re accompanied by narratives that are completely at odds with each other.\u00a0 I\u2019m speaking of Covid and the ways in which our national and global managers are choosing to respond (or not).<\/p>\n
