Nature–society relations in disaster governance frameworks

"This paper studies how the relations between nature and society are constructed in disaster governance frameworks. Dominant disaster governance frameworks present nature and society as separate realms, and the organisation of society is increasingly seen as the key cause of hazards and disasters. Disaster impacts are similarly framed around adverse societal consequences, while other-than-human nature is merely the background across which disasters unfold, as property lost, or a means of disaster governance. Although the centrality of human impacts is troubled when biodiversity or a disaster flagship species is threatened, neither situation challenges the nature–society dualism embedded in dominant disaster governance frameworks. The attention and resources of disaster governance target the societal side of nature–society dualism. This study finds, though, that in peripheries characterised by remoteness from centres of power, a sparse human population, and large spaces of other-than-human nature, the vulnerabilities facing humans and other-than-human nature risk being ungoverned."

Estelle Platini

"Humanity has endured for 1 million years for one simple reason: it is bound by limits. It is effectively regulated, and it is this regulation that lies at the heart of its genius.
[…]
"Capital very quickly relied on the sciences, and this was not simply the result of cultural impregnation.

"Classical science separates and analyses. All capital relies on this powerful process and adds to it control through quantification. A principle of devitalisation at the heart of modern technique.

"This thanatocratic principle of capital, without which it is nothing, takes place in three stages: privatisation of the means, industrialisation of devitalisation, and being as a commodity."

PiailleCiriaco (@Ciriaco@piaille.fr)Ce qu'Hegel, pré-systémicien, a vu, c'est que la forme historique est intelligible. Pour dire les choses au rabais, l'histoire, c'est ce qui est à l'image de la loi normale pour les événements aléatoires : un ordre émerge. Si l'humanité perdure pendant 1 million d'années, c'est pour une raison simple : elle est tenue par des limites. Elle est efficacement régulée, et c'est cette régulation qui est au fond de son génie. Ce n'est pas un hasard en effet si la prise de contrôle anthropologique (et thanatocratique, j'y reviendrai) par le capital via le dépassement des limites coïncide, très précisément à l'échelle, avec l'effondrement des sociétés.

Fakeness always implodes like bad #plastic surgery.

We are witnessing the #acceleration of #collapse -- all the #algorithms are pointing to a very very very RED day on the stock markets today.

Why do the algos think collapse is imminent? Something to do with destroying #Education and care of #Elders and ruining the postal service.

The US is supposed to be a "revolutionary" peoples ... and I do not just mean people like Luigi who made the world a better place.

Remember that money, like popularity, can be temporarily faked. Fake money cannot fix problems. Fascists do not have talent, prudence, or backbone... only fake money they use to brainwash fear.

There are 8.2 billion of more GOOD people on the planet than there are evil fascist shitheads like Zuckerberg, Musk, Bezos, Benioff, Bob Parsons.

Futurist Jim Carroll

"What makes you unique is what will make you successful!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

From one book project to two others!

I'm working away on Escaping Mediocrity, but the other book that is waiting in the wings is "Being Unique."

I've been away from the project for some time, but came to realize that, like the lost Basement Tapes, I've got a lost Chapter 11 of the book that I wrote and misplaced! Since I'm not sure where we stand with the project at this point - I've been away from it for so long - I'm not sure if
I worked it into the most recent 'final' manuscript or not!

Reading it, it's a pretty good summary wrap-up for the book, and so I'll share it here!

----

The world is moving at a blistering pace. The future isn't just coming - it's accelerating. And in this high-velocity reality, being different isn't just an option - it's your strategic weapon for getting there first.

That much should be clear from reading this book.

The Uniqueness Imperative

With that being the case, here’s the key point you should take away: the safe path to tomorrow is now the riskiest route.

That’s because while others race to conform, real opportunities emerge for those who dare to stand apart.

This isn't just about being different - it's about being ahead.

Consider these realities:

Innovation happens at the edges, where unique thinking flourishes

Breakthroughs come from those who see patterns others miss

The future belongs to those who refuse to fit into today's boxes

Think about how the world works now:

While everyone chases the same opportunities, the unique find new ones

When others seek consensus, the different ones create breakthroughs

As many follow established paths, the distinctive forge new ones

The Strategic Power of Being Different

That’s what you need to keep in mind as you carve out your unique place in the world.

The future marketplace has no room for the ordinary. Every commodity skill is being automated. Every standard approach is being disrupted.

Every conventional wisdom is being challenged.

You need to think about your uniqueness as your strategic superpower: and here’s where your uniqueness becomes strategic:

When you think differently, you see opportunities first

When you act differently, you get to those opportunities faster

When you innovate differently, you create opportunities others miss

And you need to do this at the speed demanded by today’s world.

----

Jim’s book, Being Unique — And Why It Will Get to Your Future Faster, will be released sometime during the spring of 2025!

Intentional road crashes
In Australia, fatal road crashes are climbing again.

"Suicide or accident? The hidden complexities of intentional road crashes in Australia
International research suggests driver suicides may account for up to 8–9% of all fatal road crashes. But studies indicate up to half of these cases may go unreported."

"Between 2001 and 2017, the rate of suicide involving a road vehicle collision in Australia nearly doubled from 0.125 per 100,000 people to 0.25 per 100,000. "

"Unlike most other suicide methods, road vehicle collisions pose a significant risk to others.Intentional crashes can involve unsuspecting drivers, passengers and pedestrians, turning a personal act of self-harm into a broader public safety issue."

Une #étude démontre l’ #accélération #vertigineuse des #catastrophes #climatiques au #Brésil : +460% ( multiplié par 5.6 )

courrierinternational.com/arti

Courrier International · Une étude démontre l’accélération vertigineuse des catastrophes climatiques au BrésilUne étude inédite de l’Alliance brésilienne pour la culture océanique a constaté que, entre 1991 et 2023, le nombre annuel moyen de catastrophes naturelles liées au climat s’était accru de 460 % dans le pays. Chaque augmentation de 0,1 °C de la température moyenne de l’air dans le monde a entraîné 360 événements supplémentaires au Brésil.

In the fall of 1972, when campaigning for a second term in office, 🇺🇸 U.S. President Richard Nixon announced that the rate of increase of inflation was decreasing, which has been noted as "the first time a sitting president used the third derivative to advance his case for reelection."

This means that the "jerk (3rd derivative)" of the price level is negative.

Equivalently, the "jerk" of purchasing power is positive.

In other words, the "acceleration" of inflation is negative.

\[I(t)=\alpha^2\dfrac{\mathrm dP(t)}{\mathrm dt}=-\beta^2\dfrac{\mathrm d\Pi(t)}{\mathrm dt}>0\]

\[\dfrac{\mathrm dI(t)}{\mathrm dt}=\alpha^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^2P(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}=-\beta^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^2\Pi(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}>0\]
\[\dfrac{\mathrm d^2I(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}=\alpha^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^3P(t)}{\mathrm dt^3}=-\beta^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^3\Pi(t)}{\mathrm dt^3}<0\]

where, \(I(t)\), \(P(t)\), and \(\Pi(t)\) are inflation (rate), price level (function), and purchasing power of money (or simply value of money) at time \(t\) respectively. And \(\alpha^2\) and \(\beta^2\) are positive real constants.
