the narratives of ecology necronomy, neoconomy and neocology (1)

the very global ideas, currently reinterpreted as 'mondial',

for a lack of integrity in the use of the term, just like one of those neoconomic ideas i had about the need for manual task to be diverse and the people variedly engaged in production.

don't blame me, i used to call the concept 'flexibility'.

so that is against exploring the real fronteers of the social context, it get's abused long before that.

anyway nature is mercifull and benevolent, ecology is so that even in terms of jobs and "economical" , or perhaps better to think of it as just 'human' engagement, the sky is the limit and only pigs can fly.

so as to say, the idea of profit and consumption tells you you can fly, but it is easy to tell who is really the bird to fly under the umbrella of fake-"justice". it would not to be to bad to return to the double speak undo thing of the 60s. and talk about 'wrong_is'

all in all not that it would put people with their (bare) feet in the (exemplary natural) soil.
all the blessings after all come from above, as the mindless repetition requires the cultures that failed to aprehend zen. (the religious ones).

for fun value the pope, obviously german, begged the germans for obedience, yesterly,
contempt for the real light of day (today's so to say) as if anyone there would get that message, obviously a publicity stunt for the still 'to be' meeker (esp. africa and south america).
__________________

the problem in explaining basic concepts for a sustainable human society is not as much in the principle, everyone understands in principle 'most of us' would agree to ' positive developments, be they natural notwithstanding it is the absolute primary, even in the human psychology but definitily so in new ecology and thus new (in the sense of sustainable) economy.

basically there is an empiric base for "good faith" (better put : "solid sceptics").
it's very shallow in the personal respect, the individual psychology and hardly worth mentioning in institutional operative, but the basic is there unmistakebly.

in the case there is no pious reference i don't mind to explore the cultural context, and for it we would only have to look at the strong tendency of people to engage with a concept of supposed

"good against evil" like religion , or the somewhat amazing ease with that people can be couched to quitte unkowingly to the real effect or effort contribute to sponsor actions or donating.

it is not especially effective or informed and structurally more often all but generous, nevertheless consider it a symbol of the will and expression of solidarity, it is there in people and it is pretty plain to see.

so in so far i recognise ' solid sceptics' that it is there in a somewhat embryonal state.
with that i would have liked to have said enough about motivation, it's not the realist situation we run into, or become somehow placed or displaced in.

maybe it is important to note it is not 'part of', it does not add much to deny this world is full of places, or to overlook that for each of us the own individual is the one thing essential in whatever functionality or positive arrangement.

change the world, and know you have to do it with yourself.

matters of priority's ... motivation.
-------------------------

so now we are motivated i want to touch on the "history" of it. (better : "herstory")

just like motivation is uselessly debated, "herstory" is unusually unpronounced.
there is "allways two sides to a story"

not that there really allways is, but such is to keep you think that. ok, on the personal and individual psychological side there is allways two story's, except that it is not mostly fresh story's, it doesn't tell anything about facts.

take for example einsteins theory of relativity, it may be not only "relative but also more true then we yet realise. both at the same time, because simply, "the universe is bigger then that.

so for the sake of omission (you name him the guy with the two passports and a double name),
i would love to leave the debate on the herstory of profit and exploitation , overconsumption and pollution, power and victim, a debate and point of it's own, and something for another occasion.

in as far as herstory directly applies to society, "the glocal community", it is usually in the ecological context. that what people, continents and nations have available to operate within.

so if you like this to be concepts restrained through herstory (that's" half of the story that's never been told" bob m.) it is not what i will write on for neoconomy, and it is part of a different debate, one in wich it is more the diversity of human impressions and opinions then the set letter that describes the most, b.t.w.
-------------------------

d dc. the debilitating debts crises.

curently media are featuring the european community's 'financial' prospects. i figure they took some inspiration from al jazeera and then what i wrote to get in the mood.

be warned, like i mentioned for starters, neoconomical concepts are easy to abuse, based as they are on the human psychology and natural context, and for my part the juxtaposed human context and natural psychology, they apply. and with what can be applied can be worked,

so with the rather glamorous advent of the angels of the market in incarnated multicolor,
the tales about our necronomy (the dead one), the tv and multimedia era, and professional politicians and by far not only them hitching on the wave of the promises of capital forever,

whatever you will understand from me, is not what i regard as "what they have in 'mind' ".

general experience and critical reading neither have ever let up to the conclusion that: " in this world, i *must* say, this capitalist world, truthfull neoconomic future is *not* the objective of the establishment".

i.o.w: the people with the interests, near the stake, can not be trusted to be honest let alone impartial or unbiased. not when it is about the future of 'all', societys, the global community.

sorry.

anyhow the idea about 'stimulating european economy' is actually the idea to 'stimulate global wellfare/wellbeing' (motivation remember?)

this is the same as development. wellbeing. as simple as it is obvious. the earth and it's climates offer a varied amount of options to different areas. did you just get robbed of your woodcover and natural resources (the live ones), like say haiti, and it is warm, chances are you best build light, making things earthquake safe would be much more effective then making them earthquake 'proof'.

not that you need no such buildings, but for common people you must wonder if that line , not only in haiti, bodes ill. huge apartments do tend to be huge tragedys when they collapse.

when it is somewhat colder, you have no choice, and in quite a few nations the temperatures are thus people hardly have a choice but to be laborous, because you just can't sleep a whole winter even if it is dark.

so the reeling and dealings of societys differ vastly, and are bound to be strongly characterised by the context of nature and climate, it is a fascinating subject and leads just to one major conclusion and rightly so;):

people are not made for work, nature is not.

the stoopit necronomical denial is , "work is made for people", they will pretend as if not, as long you can't view inside of the financial portfolios. but the next moment it is a favorouble boast..

'we made the work', said the ones that limited development for their own 'good'. (their 'bad' actually).
---------------------

the financial detail is revolting, none of the developments the past 30 years in macronecronomical sense, have been conceived, debated or 'effectuated' with the idea it would really benefit the lot. it will be abused as an excuse still, and has allways, but it is the embryo.

the head knows most people do have a heart so the argument is to well received. the tongue arguably speaks to submit, in the institutional realms, wich is distracting, purposedly, and hardly fascinating.

'privatisation' resulted in greed and assault on even the most basic 'riots'. trickle down necronomy is such an old farce it didn't deserve mention in the whole 20 or 21st century.
'free trade' , everyone restricted but usia and it's compliants.

imf, not only grey booking the 'debt' to a taste, delving in the potential for cheap labour by deranging conditions. the eu, the carreer for the priviliged. a priviliged project with intentions of centralising absolutist, 'decission' power. 'privacy'.. the rite to fraude, be perpetually observed,
forever deridden, and distribute privilige arbitrarilly.

just a few things those past decades that did not make the mark. that indeed were also not of 'good intention'. 'good faith' only fools you blindly there.

you know what, i think a day or so more about these 'my concepts'.
i can just start next, this was most of what i felt it needed for an introduction.

--------------------------------------

egotopica

hello, dear networking world,

in recent weeks i have been at a camp called ecotopia, it may happen again so mark the name.
i can start with a description of the workings in the camp. (it was a camp)

simply together people pay for having vegan cooking and heaps of incredibly nice and not extremely (apparently) expensive bio-cheese. this time, and it may be so the next, ecotopia was in germany and germans do like cheese. they do like lot's of things ofcourse, like heavy thick soups in the afternoon, well cheese they like as well.

i took some share of cheese there and i enjoyed. so for the beer, pilsner mostly. personally i find that at 4.8 percent the taste of barley is still to strong, 4.9, 5.0 and even 5.2 appear the more tasty solutions in that regard and it could well be natural, ecotopical beers manage 5% easily.
many of the rather commercial greater beers i drank had great quality, but the more regional brews prevailed. trust me i know, i tested at least 40.

the camp has compost closets. however clean and even fresh they were, in effectuating compost
there is still some fortunately somewhat distant room for improvement.
the douches were cold, but as long as the sun shone in the millenia old party place thatseemed a little earth on it's own(the hill has a shape like a slice of a great ball so evrywhere you'd look the horizon is deeper then usually, and the days lasted longer. as long as itshone the douches were great, and there was a backup in warm douches. the nearby 'bad' provided money with a paid opportunity in excess cleansing and sauna, and next to it was a , what i might erronously call victorian park. it really was a german thing with many continental influences (really almost grotesk how parks have been build in such a clichee manner even when driven by a desperate mind as the actual architects. he was a bit of a pathetic dreamer perhaps but certainly he enjoyed building the park. it's nice and to see even the touch of his hands on the whole thing.

i saw it a lot, it was the way to the beer experience.

there were heaps of remnant prehistoric tools, i better describe that in detail for all i disturbed.

(if you don't love stones in general and stone tools in specific, skip the next part.)

(begin stonetoolspart)-------------------------------------------------------------------------

the area is the north west european glacial sanddeposit, it stretches more or less from scheveningen to berlin and probably all the way to minsk. as a resultstone tools of any age can be found (my estimate 500k-now)
but besides that the 17k old hills themselves , and certainly also several of the deposits directly ancestrial to the eventual accumulation of sand, stones and silt (mostly sand) have been pioneer habitats for the people of that time. the concept of partying at a place where the sun lasts longer also seems to have been familiar.
stone tools can for several reasons easily be recognised, for one thing they are usually anatomically shaped, so by holding them in the ways they were once held you should with a relatively undamaged piece usually get at least a grasp of its means.

the second and most reknown and accepted way to recognise such tools is by identifying ripples in the areas where flakes had been taken off. especially for the tools older then (my estimate) 40k years old in the area, that is almost impossible through the naked eye, the typical material is flint (however i noticed several pieces that were not on another occasion, not many by any means.)
flint that is a silicat forming in what are usually hollows, holes in calcite formations (and thus most often of a waterbound sediment) comes in nearly every colour and purity, very pure pieces that are intact and (parts off) exposed pieces of primordial deposits (such as were scraped all but completely of evrything north of the area delineated by the sanddeposits thats general location i have described) are surprisingly rare, the flintstone may loose its calcite coating it usually has, when it has been exposed over time and such pieces are fascinating and beautifull.

however flaked flintstone has newer areas of once barren stone, and these weather out calcite at a certain rate.(20k still a patina but at some 50 k (est.) in a sanddeposit they weather enough to turn white and show little signs of human labouring in the curves. yet studying such , either obvious or suspect specimen certainly giver you a hang of it. certain shapes repeat, esthetically pleasing shapes are prevalent and not rarely attention is payed to fossils and other aspects (colours, inclusions natural shape) is payed. even older laboured stones, that may well have belonged to homo erectus species are also (over) represented. the flinstones themselves and certainly also the tools are hard pieces of stone of high purities commonly, and tend to be among the more persistent for that reason. however not much of that is on the surface.

one way to recognise weathered tools is that even a 200k years old stone tool has been as often as not (at least that certainly seems so) reworked at another much later date. with the eye such tools are distinguishable by the functional shapes , reflaking of the points of edges used, that however takes some study as those are usualy the points where the tool was deemed (again) unusefull when they got damaged. in effect you see 'natural damage' at edges and points that have been used as often as not in many pieces. the reuse aspect however is relevant, stones got reused 100k's of years after another, they were also often just made for using once, when stones where available, and i assume among those are many of the reworked pieces.

natural breaks in flintstone ( for example from cars passing over them and ice) are hard to distinguish when they are very old. still it is not so hard, the difference is mainly that even
very old natural damages will not turn into shelllike abbresions, for the very very old tools, you often see only one side of a stone is worked,(a (very) strong rolling pebble from a river or flow being the usual origin.

it is obvious that such finds are rarely of the best quality's they are nevertheless revealing as to how incredibly many stones have once or even more often been used by humans.

on top of all this there is the more recent deposit(s). in the park at some 500 m distance at a path remnants of an old flow surface, and with every rainfall more tools pop up. it appears a special place, many of the tools i saw there where tiny , little were very precise, but the assemblee was impressive, it appeared to include arrowheads, of rather specific kinds, (one model that i could not think of a more logical use then cuttinga rope (a kind of beaked arrowhead, that at least in a metal version has been produced for that specific target) it also included a heap of 'probably arrowheads' and random and less random sharp (pocket)knife like implements
most of it rather small. a lot of the stuff appeared made for or by woman, (usually males tools would fit ok- okish in my hand, female (and/or kids) tools tend to be 'somewhat to small-really small). there were also several small pieces i perceived as experiments or training materials of kids. (becus the more woman like pieces, that were usually quite beautifull, were of a good or at least very decent quality. in all i am now talking about some 150-300 stones most of the nice ones are collected. however few of the finds were spectacular let alone very spectacular.

yet there is at least one more story to tell about the tools of ecotopia, the ones around the camp were different from the ones at the former flow, where i could recognise tools made with similar skill in very similar manner, ie. made by the same individual, the flow appeared to represent a settlement or camp, for that reason, altho i assume many stories have passed there, because the nr of tools was far to great for some 15 m2 and a single camp. a large part however of the tools appeared rather typical in a similar state of erosion. the most spectacular thing i found, was several tools that can only be interpreted as tools for making cloths or even decorations.

i liked that very much,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------end stonetools part

there we were, with cold showers and hot days, singing (not quite good enough perhaps) and celebrating on the exact place people had done that from the moment it became possible, 17k years ago. i felt almost like decorating myself.

i still do actually.

what else can be said, the actual name of the camp was ecotopia, meditation was an important aspect, and i think you can say almost so was music. there were somewhat to little people, a pitty that, and i would have liked a somewhat big and visible project to spend the odd hour a day, probably for somewhat older people (then even me) a tad more luxury would do well. abodes for example, or a seatmaking workshop, a natural kind of longhouse even. that last however would have been to much work. germans tended to stay only a while. logical at it, we remained a rather international company all the way, keep in mind for me a german is an international phenomenon.

less then ever it became obvious luxury is in the ecological lifestyle already, and good to see is how that is also less then voluntairy.the love for ecological luxury as a contrast is also a wonderfull thing to see.

to a slight extend hypocrasy is trump, thorough through microscopic review of the garbage revealed not a few had set out on expeditions unlike me for beer and fish, but for wuerstchen even of the cheapest and saddest kind. without the footlights the lowbudget lowprofile addictions easily beat the profiled ones in hypocrasy as usual. how so smoking area;)

drugs were fortunately abundant, albeit in short supply, what else can you expect in a developed nation. any idea how ecological a good joint really is, can be?

nearly incalculable. i sleep better also.

the chill at nights however nearly killed me, at least i looked like i had been nearly killed most of the evenings, next time i am sure to arrange extra blankets and thick cloths in wich i don't look like an idiot. camous are fine but you kind of need sth. to hide them somewhat, at my warmest at best i looked like sth of a decorative cactus, i suppose, and at worst like a complete shim in the night (i usually try without the battery rubbish and pocketlights) with horseshoes.

i enjoyed greatly, breathed deeply, smoked happily, and talked with many nice people on diverse subjects. i quickly discovered i wasn't that bad of a shaman after all. perhaps i should even write about it. fortunately there usually were some traveller, rainbow people. these people are fine, they look like hippy's that are thrown out of a squatted appartment , that is now destute, falling apart and a cause for the next hypocredicy crises. 'rather sooner then later' sometimes they look like victims of an eviction that succesfully moved into a motorhome, in that case they usually are.

the company was rather constructive, i felt like i should try to contribute more, yet things went how they go, and i am not disappointed. an old injun turned up, he is a shaman.

he is also an ecologist in the real sense, someone who supported the more wordly ecological cause for a long time. he is a funny daring fascinating man, and when he first spoke to the circle, an eagle arrived to look over his head. he is very friendly and refered to me in person.

i was the only one who watched the sky, and didnt want to interrupt his story , Story is one of his names, his injun name is manitonkwat, i am not sure about the last t, and it's pronounced without it afaik. could be a german language thingy, kwat does not sound tasty in the least in german.
means nothing immediatly altho perhaps in a dialect, like "polnish" deutsch.

they have a lot of dialects and speak these well and exceptionally quickly, each of them has a different applied vocabulary, and they strive for completeness and originality. the negative thing is a collection of germans can be as hard to understand as a herd of dolphins the positive thing is u can make random sounds and usually end up saying something that means something else in one or another dialect. it's completely confusing however much priviliged i am as a dutch to have an applicable lexionairy of instinctive sounds that the exact to be expected nr of dialects in german default to specifically dutch words, they neither know or pronounce.

fortunately in such cases every german knows how to apply two different dialects to english and they do that all at once. give them a chance and they will practice their english untill you understand you shouldn't. it is a better idea to lead a morning circle if you want to give people such a lesson. english is the primary language in ecotopia.

it's called continental english, and in such morning circles the result is ok. their english at slow speed and intensity and one for one really is not bad.

morning circles are boring btw. it has been different for me, and perhaps i just know to well how such things roll and get organised, i am not very social besides, no matter how much i like socialising, lest i had it for me just not to speak as much as i am used to, well if i take a minute to decide on sth. it's much, when it takes me 3 i may consider the whole subject a waste of time, i tend to dislike plenums, and even people in plenums, more then i care to admit. i liked the daycircle.

people are at their best in the daycircle, usually it takes them only a second, but in other a day, sometimes two can make a lot of difference.
a lot of the people were quite exceptionally lovable and fascinating anyways. the good intends
so completely overrepresented at times the thought of a traumatical reaction arrived.

(smokes a joint)

manitonkwah did a lot to lift my moods, but he also made my problem more clearly,
bluntly put: wtf should i do about all the extra religious etc.('spiritual') luggage people have.

his solution is rather positive, take it on facevalue and try to work despite of it, mine has allways been a bit more evasive. i rather have none of that then st.h that can easily be misinterpreted and misrepresented, if even remotely correct once over and more.

otoh the myth is ok. all people are born equal, naked and lovely. if you don't see the light of the day in someones eyes, or if they are blind, hearts, just remember once it was a lovable baby. a small child. ok there is anguish but whose is that? the tribe's.

for that simple survivalist or darwinist reason we are one tribe, the hopi's have and allways had a name for that, "the rainbow tribe" , because of the spectral spacetravel ofcourse.

oh no, it's because kin comes in so many colours. chicken or egg. doesnt matter. it still suits, we are a worldwide tribe, tattoos are called tribals, and without a thick ring through your nose you are hardly allways candy.

none of that is the reason tho. the reason of that is spaceship, some call it mother, earth. or the sun perhaps, or who knows perhaps the kosmos, that is the most true ofcourse. at least at some point the kosmos i perceive as majesticall, why would a black hole generate such a mass of matter for example, ok its all them particles getting confused, but on a macroscopic level there is an element of surprise. why would for example a confused particle happen to end up as a part of a flower?

shit happens you will say, but still for shit it looks good, the incidental flower.
i love confused particles for one thing because they make that happen: flowers.
don't cut them, these flowers are having the time of their particles. it's bad karma to persecute confused particles. i am not exactly sure as to how bad, usually it depends the particles, who else will decide. however don't start worrying about the end of the world immediatly, there are so many confused particles, only in the visible part of the universe that you don't see on starmaps, it will take them ages to make a collective decission that would threaten house or hearth.

worry about ecology instead, i must admit that thanking the earth, the ecology, and even the ancestors and a lot more ofcourse, feels good and true, and even makes eagles spy (or it may have been the fbi)

it's the same as that animals like it when you think with them, absorb their communication for what you can and absolutely respect it, listen instead of that you talk to your human self.
that's with children that (cannot) yet talk also.

since talking with them implies thanking them, why not thanking them before talking rubbish to ourselves first?

i dunno what would happen. something i am quite sure.

that's a bit nasty then, i don't see any rational ground to thank the earth or the sun, where i see a rational ground to thank the ecology, since if you want to communicate (with) it. the least one could do is to feel thankfull and be thankfull for the daily massacre of plants and animals.

nevertheless i think it would work, nasty, i feel like a confused particle suddenly,

oops
there is one.....

ecology

residual murky black goo

willfull misconduct, so much the little people may say, a coastguard accepting skimmers 6 weeks late. the trajectory maps show at some point when hitting 300 km from louisiana shores all oil just disappears. the blobs of oil that are dead animals are not an indication something might be deadly wrong with oil on birds or turtles. now and then the odd fisher or beachgoer reports a couple of 10000 dead animals, but most of it doesn't. just today i read it again, the nr of possible animal victims of oil.., could be zero..

such great insights in what is going on and the immense harmlessness of oil don't cast the slightest doubt on all the rest we are reported. basically, how much oil is still escaping and how long will it circulate. today some additional equipment is supposed to have arrived and upped the 'containment capacity'. my guess is they are now collecting about half. however by now vessels from all over the world are on their way to the gulf, so either there is plenty of oil floating about to be sure they all have a job for july, or perhaps they are collecting much less then half afterall.
yesterday i read one more of the 'hopefull' statements the flow hadn't abaided in a meaningfull way yet.

the oil is expected to start flowing somewhat more gently whenever the gas that drives it looses some pressure. the whole well is rather deep, so deep i would think there is no real danger in sealing it in an explosive way, allthough you would want to be sure of the exact depth and sedimentary layer of your effort. and at that depth (and with the apparent 60-40% oil gas mix)
usually there is rather more then less gas then expected. i know that because you can make use of the feature to get extra gas production.

so altho i must admit the idea that gas flowing at such a rate would somehow run out at some point is an attractive one, it's quite as probable the turtles died from birds flue.

good news about the turtles is a 100 are saved, of wich btw a whole 3 got rereleased, i wonder why in fact, i suppose to see the effect of oil on a life turtle. if they swim straight into it eg.

talking about turtles, the newssites don't make an estimate about the nr of animal that died and somehow went out of sight. apparently they sink, and hide to die, but not one estimate of nr's.

i have no idea myself, it should be a really simple estimate to make, x percent of birds sink, x percent hit the beach. x percent hide an die, there are some 1000 oilcovered naturally dead birds recovered, thats a ridiculous and random estimate btw, perhaps it is in reality 10 or even 100 times as much.
perhaps 8 times more of them sank? and 10 times more of them hid?
a bit less i guess. in the ordre of 100000s dead birds then.

but they admitted.. managed to make the nation and world believe (or at least not rise up in protest) a whole ZERO, just today.

i won't touch mammals, dolphins have a very sensitive skin. they flock so close to beach now it would be a bad example. i learned one more thing, the gulf and it's wildlife are widely promoted as splendid (and these days as unaffected) but it is actually poor, there arent so many dolphins, and really few turtles, i bet, just like the english catches, the fish caught is neither bountyfull nor as tasty as it was 100 years ago. you could even tell that when the spill hadn't started.

so my guess is after this is all over and by when we hopefully switch to cleaning the niger delta,
there is an interesting ecological project to start in the gulf of mexico, involving no fishing for a decade for starters, it may sound farfetched, but it would be nice to see some of the oil money reserved to observe the ecology as it develops.

Hypokrit Krisis

I guess it needs an update, my critics to the current approaches focus on 3 points atm.

being:
preoccupation with loans
obsession with export
lack of ecological vision

The first point i think is critic because it provides the illusion that by forever making guilts you would add value to an economy.(in the national corporate or personal sense)


the second point has a similar problem, the "crisis" is one of the world as a whole,
export as such allways means someone else is creating a deficit. Perceiving exports as balancing in that sense in this crisis would be also farfetched. They are hugely part of the problem because they can spread this illusion of growth, to the cost of some (far away and out of sight).

The third point is that what we use and 'borrow' are mostly the available natural resources. The depletion of these, that is more often a matter of destruction then one of limitation, is as predictable as can be.

for example we face leaders that promote population growth as another means to exploit the margins. yet the time that such kinds of "economical theory's" earned (the militairy-industrial complex) their place on the platforms should be thoughtfully considered part of the problem and actually longgone.
