Before #solarpunk there was softtech and appropriate technology.

a good, by which I mean the quickest, way to reduce carbon emissions is dethroning corporate CEOs who are patriarchs and populist politicians who are fascists

I really like working with thick paper (>200g), so i got around 2000 sheets of A5 and A6 paper aditionally to the already existing A7 index cards i bought from a supplier 2 years ago.
I really do not like taking notes on (80g)-printers paper.

@simsa03 I call that a myth and a psycological problem, not one of loosing power in the work force. If you aim at the industrial labour reserve army discussion i am still unsure about the long term effect. I dont see AI as a big thread yet, Automation has its waves and if i learned something about the computerization, than that it only shifted the "place"/"point" of resistence, not abolished it.

@benni Das Einzige was bleibt ist das Hoffen auf (Groß-)Events und die angenommene Wirkung die diese entfalten? Da waren "Wir" aber schon mal weiter...

@benni ne komm, da hofft man auf den Streik als ausdruck des Forderungsmanagement und im nächsten Schritt ist man bei den Besetzungen und Solar-Energie-Commons. Es wird festgestellt, dass es keine Idee gibt, wie langfristig so ein Streik aufrechterhalten werden könnte und dann ein bisschen hambi-romantik und tauschlogikfreie Utopie. Ansonsten das übliche "ausweiten, ausweiten, ausweiten".
das passt für mich nicht zusammen.

@anarchiv wasnt that the scope of G3? :D

@tuxom @wion this article brings the IPCC-Report into this perspective: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/08/how-think-about-dire-new-ipcc-climate-report/595705/

Es hilft kein Höhres Wesen,
Kein Staat, Keine Partei, kein Event.

@benni auch dieser Artikel krankt mmn daran, alle Handlungshoffnung in den Streik zu legen und die Frage offen zu lassen "Ja und was dann?".
Und das ganze wird dann fälschlicherweise mit dem Generalstreik benannt, statt (politischer) Massenstreik, welches korrekter wäre, da für den Generalstreik die Transformationsdimension fehlt.

This was offered as an different approach for Design and Technology than from Heidegger.

Borgmann does not reject technology but calls for public conversation about the nature of the good life. He counsels us to make room in a technological age for matters of ultimate concern—things and practices that engage us in their own right (3/3)

This pattern, discernible even in such an inconspicuous action as switching on a stereo, has global effects: it sharply divides life into labor and leisure, it sustains the industrial democracies, and it fosters the view that the earth itself is a technological device. He argues that technology has served us as well in conquering hunger and disease, but that when we turn to it for richer experiences, it leads instead to a life dominated by effortless and thoughtless consumption.

Blending social analysis and philosophy, Albert Borgmann maintains that technology creates a controlling pattern in our lives. (1/2)

"the scale of the decisions now needed compared to the decision-making capacity of our political systems: what in our cities should be repaired, can be repaired, is irreparable, what needs to be destroyed even if reparable; how to repair at scale in cities while people live there"

Companies, industries, economies are all built on workers working. Consider the power of labor withheld.
