Today while gardening, I saw a bumblebee. Thing is it's the 19th of December, in Rural Oxfordshire UK. The temperature today was 10°c. Lots of bulbs are already coming up, including daffodils. EVERYTHING IS CONFUSED, CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL & HAPPENING! #climatechange #bumblebee #nature #environment

I hear people who talk about the need for a strong man to lead a nation, personally I would choose a wisdom over strength. So question:
Do people who talk about the need for a strong man to lead them, have a serf mentality? Are they victims of their own mental weakness? 🤔

When art, music & literature become less about the creative expression & experiences of individuals & shared experiences of expression from one human to another & becomes about consumerism, something that is bought & sold, that is the death of civilization as we know it. 🎭

Something just occurred to me while, kneeling in a flower bed, whilst weeding, interacting with Robins & worms, whilst listening to the transatlantic sessions, through my headphones...AI will never replace real interaction with nature or real human live performance. 💚

We are all to blame for this, it's household waste. We buy products packed in plastic without considering what happens to that plastic, we assume councils will deal with it, it then becomes someone else's problem.

So I asked AI if AI was bad for the environment & AI said "Yes it is" which I know anyway. We are in a climate emergency & we are ploughing billions of money into something that can only have a negative impact on people & planet...

. On 17 November 1989, students gathered to mark the 50th anniversary of the closure of Czech universities by the Nazis. The peaceful demonstration was brutally suppressed, yet that very moment became the fuse that mobilised an entire nation. And so began The Velvet Revolution!

Here's the thought for the day:
We have lost sight of the fact that without bees, soil, dung beetles, worms, clean water and air, one cannot grow food, and without food the economy is nothing.

I agree with this article. Our DNA, merely tells part of the story of a person's character & traits. It can't tell a person's upbringing, life experiences, interactions with the world, the people you meet. We are not born evil, but society can turn people into monsters who do acts of evil.
A TV documentary aims to provide new insight into Adolf Hitler by sequencing his DNA, but the reality is that his genes tell us nothing we didn't already know and the work risks stigmatising other people, says Michael Le Page.
Analysing Hitler's DNA for a TV gimmick tells us nothing useful
To understand Adolf Hitler, we need to look at his personal life and the wider societal and historical context - analysing his DNA for a TV gimmick tells us nothing, says Michael Le Page

He does have quite a scraggy neck though....
