1·19 days agoI have the impression that the term anthroposcene used in this article could easily be replaced by another: capitaloscene. To my understanding, they are not interchangeable, but I think the latter would be more appropriate in this context.
For me, it feels like the anthroposcene is shifting the blame from a system that is devastating to all lives on this planet (capitalism), to humans in general. I don’t find this to be accurate, it’s like it implies ‘yeah it’s human nature to be like that’, and it’s hard to imagine change from this starting point.
On the other hand, with capitaloscene, things are clear. The system sucks, we replace it with a sustainable one, and all will be fine. Not saying that it’s an easy path, just a straightforward one.
This is about a new paper that came out yesterday, co-authored by approx 15 people. Give it a chance! See:
Old carbon routed from land to the atmosphere by global river systems
4·20 days agoFair enough! Now that I think about it, maybe I should have specified that this is an online approach. It includes finding them, reading them and having a dictionary for translating them. Then, at some point, you learn them by heart. Also, I don’t think that just doing this is enough, but it somehow speeds up the initial process, especially for speaking.
I read many great approaches here. One thing that I have the impression it was not mentioned is song lyrics. It’s like syntax and vocabulary get somehow absorbed or something. And it’s fun!

I totally agree with everything you said :)
I just created an account in PieFed and it looks very interesting because there is the option to create your own feeds! I had the wrong impression that you can only choose from the existing ones. This is so exciting!!!
