In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash
Jean Shepherd@jksteinberger.bsky.social@ahausmannx @nephologue @_ppmv @ClimateHuman @peterdaou No one is science is ever supposed to just trust based on credentials. Again that is not how any of this works. Like the sign at the corner store, "in god we trust, all others pay cash." Cash here = publications where every assumption is explained, quantified, can be checked etc.

Climate Change as Class War: Building Socialism on a Warming Planet
Matthew T. Huber@jksteinberger.bsky.social"To portray all degrowthers as anxious consumers projecting their own guilt on society, rather than serious analysts grappling with the implications of the ecological crisis, makes for bad and dishonest debate." @PoliticOfNature review of Huber's "Climate change as class war" https://t.co/fRutlkZhUS

Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants
Robin Wall Kimmerer@jksteinberger.bsky.socialI am wondering if he ever got around to commenting on Graeber & @davidwengrow 's Dawn of Everything, or Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass, or @GhoshAmitav 's Great Derangement. Because somehow, among these ideas, I am persuaded, is the imagination we desperately need.

Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist
Kate Raworth@jksteinberger.bsky.social@golanbenavraham Absolutely untrue. Humans are among the most social animals there are. Methinks you would benefit from reading, I don't know, anything. Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth, Dawn of Everything by Graeber & Wengrow ... anything, really.

Work: How To Find Joy And Meaning In Each Hour Of The Day
Thich Nhat Hanh@jksteinberger.bsky.social“Thich Nhat Hanh urged us to set up camp in free fall, to get comfortable with the discomfort of being human. Everything is impermanent, including him, but the necessity for that work will not fade.” — @sadydoyle https://t.co/40VRevIQSU

Prosperity Without Growth: Foundations for the Economy of Tomorrow
Tim Jackson@jksteinberger.bsky.social@TedNordhaus @dwallacewells No. The point made was ALWAYS that insistence on economic growth makes decoupling slower and harder than it would be if growth-as-goal was absent. Can go back to Tim Jackson's Prosperity Without Growth, makes that point extremely clearly.
