After watching the "Chinese superbowl" starring humanoid robots I had to make a video about it. The danger here is that humans are deploying powerful tools inside currently very unstable systems which could be dangerous. This accompanies the upcoming live show Thursday.

I've always been really happy to not be an American, well of the USA variety anyhow. youtu.be/Mh7Q3TxxK3E?...

1. "the fraction of microbial diversity that we have sampled to date is effectively zero" 2. "Now biologists are warning of a microbial extinction event" We know nothing other than how to destroy everything.

The wheels are off the cart. We're not going to reverse or stop this. Human activity provided the fuel to ramp this up while destroying the natural systems that maintained balance. Our life support is collapsing. #kissyourassgoodbye www.facebook.com/share/17UFFb...

Exactly. No large energy system is machine-free or maintenance-free. That’s the point.

Hidden costs? The costs are externalized or normalized. Mining footprints, transmission corridors, maintenance infrastructure, habitat fragmentation, replacement cycles, and decommissioning are visible, but rarely counted as part of energy output. Longevity doesn’t make those costs disappear.

What has not been reported widely, I find, is that the US lost 80% of all bees in only 8 months. Or that the UK lost 63% of ALL flying insects in only 3 years, from 2021-2024.

There is no hiding on the Titanic. Unless we grow our own food in nature - we are living in a #bunker and we live a system based on #slavery and entitlement (racism / sexism / speciesism). No elite has ever survived a similar situation in the history of womankind.

Prior to humans, nutrients were recycled and water was retained for long periods on terrestrial areas. Now, nutrients are mined and water retention is almost zilch. Both are unprecedented in the history of the planet. Water and nutrients are life. Physics and hydrology will always win in the end.

Breaking News! Code Yikes! The January, 2026, ENSO update was just released this morning and it now shows a better than 60% chance of an El Nino developing by early Fall, and a 50% chance by mid-Summer. The Climate 8-Ball is in hiding. www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/ana...

January 2026 is already the most record breaking month in history In Just 4 days it broke more records than any month in history. But it's nothing to what's coming next days: Historic heat wave in Australia,records in Oceania,Asia,all Africa,Europe,Antarctica and Americas from Greenland to Patagonia

Humans have emitted a lot. What we mean by "humans" has changed in meaning since the industrial revolution: 1850 (Industrial Revolution) 1.2 billion humans 1950 2.5 billion humans 2000 6.1 billion humans 2015 (Paris) 7.4 billion humans 2025 8.2 billion humans

"A short post naming species officially declared extinct in 2025 traveled farther than weeks of careful ecological writing ... species extinction dominates the conversation, while ecosystem extinction drives the outcome." Too many humans require too much greener pasture and cause mass extinction.

Some species declared extinct this year were last seen in the 1800s. Others vanished decades ago. Extinction usually happens quietly, earlier, & out of sight. We don’t lose species suddenly. We lose them invisibly. Dark extinctions are the rule, not the exception. news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

Since posting this 5 days ago, we’ve added 1,000,000 new humans net to Earth. How would your city look like if one added 1 million more humans in 4.5 days? How many new homes and schools and sports centers would need to be built in 5 days? How much more farm land would be needed every 5th day?

“The dark spaces under bushes and into the damp corners of the garden are not cemeteries, but the busiest places in the ecosystem where life and death cross paths. It is here, in this moist darkness, where life reorganises itself and begins, anew” open.substack.com/pub/georgets...

The fossil record preserves bones, not biodiversity. But extinction happens at the scale of bacteria, fungi, mosses, microfauna, parasites, soil invertebrates. Entire kingdoms of life disappear without leaving a mark.

Plants don’t “love” shade. Some tolerate it. Others require sun, wind, and disturbance. Replacing an ecosystem with a few shade-tolerant species isn’t restoration. It’s simplification.

People see carbon reduction. Watersheds see concentrated runoff, compacted soils, erosion, and broken headwaters. Solar panels on steep ridges rewire hydrology. Calling this “low impact” only works if you don’t look downhill. 🧵
