Necesito vuestra sabiduría tootera. Tengo que analizar un #ritual secular (no "religioso") y he pensado centrarme en alguna de las dinámicas que se dan en #mastodon , como las presentaciones o la costumbre de describir las imágenes en el texto alternativo...
¿Qué os parece? ¿Se os ocurre algún otro?¿Creéis que es correcto categorizarlo como ritual? Os leo 
All Who ware wondering what #trump might bring us with a scientific mind
Please do read "The collapse of complex society". On how complex society is superior to #tribalism and has been invented a few times in human history.
It also has stopped to exist a number of times. And thats where it becomes interesting.
You can download it here for free https://github.com/danielmkarlsson/library/blob/master/Joseph%20A%20Tainter%20-%20The%20collapse%20of%20complex%20societies.pdf

Я люблю проєкти Семесюка. Вони може трохи претензійні для рядового слухача, але це завжди цікаві розмови з цікавими людьми на цікаві теми. Вони надихають на роздуми. Режисура теж захоплює, відеоряд різноманітний і навіть емоційний.

>Около 930 тысяч лет назад количество размножающихся людей сократилось до 1280 человек

Согласно модели, «бутылочное горлышко» продолжалось примерно 117 тысяч лет.
Группа ученых из Италии, Китая и США построила модель, позволяющую оценить эффективный размер популяции древних людей. Геномы десяти современных африканских популяций указали на то, что между 930 и 813 тысячами лет назад человечество прошло через «бутылочное горлышко», когда количество успешно размножающихся людей сократилось примерно с 98130 до 1280 человек, то есть примерно в 77 раз. По данным исследователей, в результате этого процесса и его последствий генетическое разнообразие человечества сократилось примерно на 66 процентов. Об этом сообщается в статье, опубликованной в журнале Science. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abq7487
Wow again!! I'm still tweeking my Friday lesson plan for my AP World History students on the Indian Caste system, Buddhism, and Hinduism/reincarnatioin and my research landed this incredible artice from 'Nature" on the Indian caste system and its modern effect on people of color in the science fields globally. A MUST READ. https://www.nature.com/immersive/d41586-023-00015-2/index.html

@nytimes Wow!!! Our spiecis was down to 1,280 breeding individuals? And that count remained static for 117,000 years before the population rebounded? This is an incredible piece and I highly recommend reading it. It's behind a paywall but if you are interested I copied the article and I can send it to you. A MUST READ. #science #evolution #antropology #archeology
Die menschlichen Knochen, die in den vergangenen Jahren bei mehreren Grabungen auf dem Gelände der @freieuniversitaet gefunden wurden, sollen am 23.3. auf dem #Waldfriedhof #Dahlem bestattet werden. Sie stammen insbesondere aus Sammlungen des ehem. KWI für Anthropologie, menschliche Erblehre & Eugenik ( @maxplanckgesellschaft).

"whereas the moderate English climate allowed pigs to graze in meadows or to be held in airy stables, in Germany pigs had to spend a lot of time in confined indoor spaces."
"Fat, rooted-in-the-soil pigs were a major asset for waging war, promising to overcome the alleged causes of Germany’s defeat in World War I."

Блондинки не пропадут!
Меланин, придающий цвет волосам, производится пигментными клетками, находящимися в волосяном фолликуле. Отсюда меланосомы перемещаются в кератиновые волокна, формирующие стержень волоса по мере его роста. Много эумеланина — получаются коричневые или черные волосы. Мало эумеланина — и вот вам блондин. Преобладание феомеланина даст рыжий цвет. С возрастом синтез меланина начинает сбоить, и человек седеет.
#Evil is built-in to the system. #Society is a monster that controls all within.
You know you have no control over that thing, and you need to do what it tells you to do.
The US top economic 10% holds 70% of wealth while the bottom 50% hold only 2% of total wealth. We in the working-class fight each other like the violent primates we are over that 2%.
Modern society is a calamity.
Ruling-classes know how to foment calamity and violence within the credulous masses.
Every industry has their hands around another industry's throats, and all the minions are happy and loving it, while they tear each other down and create the most extreme structural violence in history.
People's beliefs in the system did that. We can only learn beliefs from the society in which we live.
Modern society is one big cop show in which everyone polices each other. Yep, you see it now. How people talk to each other. How they gather data on everyone else to elevate their perceptions of their own little lives. Each is a tyrant over the other in modern culture. We all know this... if we contemplate it for a minute... because the working-class are victims of each other... while the ruling-class gets a sick satisfaction from seeing us at each others throats.
In an #indigenous tribe, each member gets taught how to fill the needs of the whole tribe. In modern society, not one group of experts can understand the whole thing, and a working-class understanding of reality is overwhelmingly mostly magical-thinking, which is to say no real understanding of how the society in which we live actually functions.
We are in the dark, yet imagine we are great because the technology we don't understand is great. Modern society is built on the malice of a few and the delusions of many.
We don't know shit about our own culture, then look hypocritically down on 'primitive' people who actually happen to know way more than we do. Each member of a small culture learns how to keep the whole culture functioning and how to fill the needs of all equally. Here we don't even know how to fill our own emotional needs which is why half of us are on anti-depressants.
Each child must learn love all in the culture for it to survive, parents in the USA are the worst parents in the world who allowed gun violence to become the leading cause of death for their children.
The complexity of modern culture is implicitly evil, and then add the malicious and self-absorbed intentions that is its governing ethos.
We all believe humanity is violent because we are told to believe that. We believe society itself is violent and so we must be violent within it because we are told to believe that, and once we believe it becomes reality.
If we are taught to believe the world is full of monster... it means we are taught to believe we are monsters.... and so once we believe... we do become monsters.
#Indegenous cultures only survive through #love and #solidarity, whereas our version of modern culture somehow runs on greed, malice and self-absorption. Compassion that affords human survival and continuance is seen as an irrational behavior, instinct, and emotion in modern society.
Indigenous cultures call our modern culture insane, because it is.

Good luck #generation #Alpha. You have been left a calamity they tell you is wonderful. Do not believe anything any of the previous generations tell you about how the world is, how it's suppose-to be, and who you are supposed-to be within it. All previous generations are incompetent. Look at the fucking place.
Modern culture is psychological coercion.
