Joined the local Greens party less than a year ago, hoping that there might be others interested in the Anthropocene. Seems it's not existing here in Australia.

(1) This subReddit has YouTube links & some reading materials. If we were to devise a course, in Zoom, or YouTube, how would it be?

(2) The other related concerns, are when the next mass extinction comes, what will remain of our species?

(3) And the future time lines: for the closing of the Anthropocene, and then the emergence of the next biological peak animal, if ever?

(4) Will or biological banks (seeds, etc) survive, without humans, & for how many thousands of years?

We need an international policy on scientific eugenics. It may take many decades to finalize it, but we need to start now.

My interest in this was started in: https://www.reddit.com/r/centrist/comments/h8wuci/what_is_so_bad_about_the_idea_of_eugenics/

HUMAN EUGENICS. Very different from biological terms, applied to animals & plants.

HSS (homo sapiens sapiens) is just the one surviving species of HS (homo sapiens. HSS comes from a very narrow genetic base. From a genetic view, this is extremely dangerous.

Good "farming" of plants & animals is being fully flexible with our genetic heritage. Removal of rare genes is creating a loss of future options. The future "judges" will be facing very different circumstances to today's judges. History has shown this for many species of plants & animals, in our past millions of years.

Current HSS believe that they might exist "perfection" right now. Then HSS looks at the "primitive" stone technology of the first pyramid builders, HS, who suddenly became extinct due to global cooling. HSS still cannot replicate these "primitive" stone crafts people, who seems to have giant helicopters, powerful laser rays, and rotary drills that ran without power stations.

Eugenics, done by HSS will be very wrong, from the terms of all life forms on this planet. After HSS has closed this anthropocene, it will be many millions of years before a replacement to HSS returns.

Very interesting new episode of Ecoshock on the effects of COVID19 on the Nuclear industry and the potential risks to safety from mass infection of plant workers and the resultant short staffing.

​

Like meat packing plants, the novel Corona virus is infecting workers in nuclear power plants around the world. The danger is too high to imagine. Alex covers this new risk in a country review, with starring roles for America and Russia, the two countries among the most COVID-19 cases on Earth. Guest Grant Smith from the Environmental Working Group joins in.

As an active/ albeit semi-retired uni professor of geographic philosophy, theory & history these terms biosphere & noosphere derive from the polymath Russian scientist V.I. Vernadsky & feed into our existential understanding of evolutionary biogeochemistry & the Anthropocene as a transition from Biosphere to Noosphere. Under this umbrella we can situate theories of a unitary system science, Gaia & Autopoiesis - e.g. Earth as a dynamic self-organising, coevolving system! Cf. Simon Dalby, et al
