In ten years, Israelis will be refugees. Where will they be welcome? The modern way is ending. To each, its own.
[Water, food shortages, energy shortages, hostility, all caused by the omnicidal heat engine, a.k.a, western techno-industrial, fossil-fueled, global, financialized, neoliberal, neoconservative, extractive, war mongering, colonial/imperial culture, that is energy blind, supply chain blind, complexity blind, systems’ stocks and flows blind, evolution blind, emergence blind, material blind, Nature blind, posterity blind…With its true believers, unaware of the knowledge only Great Nature can teach…frightened, stressed, traumatized, starving, panicking, angry, dwindling, dying Empire that is only expert in the practice of the seven deadly sins…hubristic, myopic, lost, with its ideologically pathological Homo storytellers become creators of hell, big Gods and Angels, the destroyers of habitat…gone, disappeared, dead or rebooted, rhyming, forgotten and forgetful with its e-waste buried under millions of years of dust.]
Big Nature Trumps Big Business.
We wasted our intelligence trying to become God. Nature doesn’t need our language; its consciousness is beyond what we think we know. Behold our world’s suffering and feel its pain — it’s all we’ve got. Put your fingers in the wound, but you already know the trauma is real; it’s unavoidable, ubiquitous, it endures, it takes hold, it permeates our thought and imagination, it animates and acts, it is a movement and a rest, a breath, a moan, a wail, an awkward, uncomfortable guffaw echoing through the ages…it burns out and dilates like the sun — dusk in the void, dark energy, dark gravity, black holes. Mystery. Without us, there is no mystery, only Nature — Great Nature; we are that which it is, and there is no need for words.
