Serious scientific gatherings don’t usually feature calls for mass political resistance, much less direct action and sabotage. But then again, Werner wasn’t exactly calling for those things. He was merely observing that mass uprisings of people – along the lines of the abolition movement, the civil rights movement or Occupy Wall Street – represent the likeliest source of “friction” to slow down an economic machine that is careening out of control. We know that past social movements have “had tremendous influence on . . . how the dominant culture evolved”, he pointed out. So it stands to reason that, “if we’re thinking about the future of the earth, and the future of our coupling to the environment, we have to include resistance as part of that dynamics”. And that, Werner argued, is not a matter of opinion, but “really a geophysics problem”.
Plenty of scientists have been moved by their research findings to take action in the streets. Physicists, astronomers, medical doctors and biologists have been at the forefront of movements against nuclear weapons, nuclear power, war, chemical contamination and creationism. And in November 2012, Nature published a commentary by the financier and environmental philanthropist Jeremy Grantham urging scientists to join this tradition and “be arrested if necessary”, because climate change “is not only the crisis of your lives – it is also the crisis of our species’ existence”.

Ik ga ook radicaliseren. Ik wordt ook piraat. De tyfus met al die ontkenners.

Socialism, like capitalism, is an economic system. Socialism prioritizes community over private profit, and can be implemented under either democratic or authoritarian government structures. A foundational problem with capitalism is that it is anathema to democracy. Another is that it treats the laws of thermodynamics as irrelevant, and is based on an out-moded 18th Century understanding of human nature.
That's it. Jullie mogen mij voortaan Roodbaard noemen.
