Anthropocentric warming, the greatest threat to human health and survival, disproportionately threatens children. Children pay the greatest climate penalty. Per the World Health Organization, children suffer more than 80% of climate crisis-related injuries, illnesses & deaths being more vulnerable to carbon-polluted air, extreme heat, drought and innumerable other climate-charged disasters and diseases. Nevertheless, the US healthcare accounts for an ever-increasing amount of carbon pollution and refuses to divest in fossil fuels. As for federal policymakers, the White House and Congressional Republicans remain intent on committing ecocide. To the surprise of no one, in late May Our Children's Trust, on behalf of 22 plaintiffs age 7 to 25, sued President Trump and five administrative offices and departments arguing in part several White House Executive Orders will increase fossil fuel use and dismantle climate research, warnings and response infrastructure. The lead plaintiff in Lighthiser v Trump stated White House policy amounts to a “death sentence for my generation.” The WCC handbook available at: https://www.oikoumene.org/news/wcc-publishes-resource-on-legal-tools-for-climate-justice. The Lighthiser v Trump complaint is at: https://climatecasechart.com/case/lighthiser-v-trump/.Among related discussions, I interviewed the Michael Burger at Columbia University's Sabin Center for Climate Change Law in May 2020 and again in June 2024 and Andrea Rodgers with Our Children's Trust this past January.

In this special episode of Crackers & Grape Juice, Teer Hardy and Jason Micheli sit down with Bishop Will Willimon and Rev. Tony Robinson to celebrate the life, legacy, and theological firepower of The Rev. Fleming Rutledge. Together, they explore the depth and breadth of Rutledge's influence on contemporary preaching and theological discourse.From her theocentric preaching style to her razor-sharp use of language, Rutledge's sermons never flinch from the hard truths—sin, salvation, resurrection, and the cosmic battle between good and evil. The conversation traverses her Southern roots, her unapologetic embrace of proclamation over persuasion, and the way her preaching cuts through the noise of modern, therapeutic homiletics.With a mix of personal stories, sharp wit, and deep reverence, Jason, Teer, Will, and Tony reflect on what makes Rutledge's work so urgently necessary for the church today—and what it means to preach like it matters. Tune in for a spirited theological tribute to one of the great voices of our time.Find Crackers and Grape Juice on Instagram, Facebook, and Substack.

Episode 102: One of the predominant causes of our problematic relationship with the environment is the belief that humans are superior over, distinct from and independent to the rest of nature. We think this way partly due to our religious traditions that have understood humans as being at the centre of what God cares about, at the centre of the story of creation, and that salvation is ultimately all about us and our relationship with God. We're also shaped by our modern assumptions that put us in a dominant relationship with nature, setting us up to see it as something to extract value from, to make profit from, to make progress from, and ultimately to exploit. These stories, however, are not the only way to see things. There are alternative stories we can tell about what it is to be here, to be human, and the ways in which our existence is fundamentally interconnected with all of nature. And this can have a profound impact on our spirituality, our life and our behaviour.

Today we're bouncing off our recent conversation with evolutionary biologist, Dr. Michael Lachmann from SFI, and unpacking why the modern definition of life sucks and why it matters. We attempt to construct a more scientific (i.e. less circular) definition of life and take it for a walk in the park. As a test case we examine an inadvertent hypothesis, which stems from Olaf Stapledon's Star Maker, a science fiction work that supposes stars themselves have an interior life and that when they move according to gravity they are simply doing the dance of a school of fishes or drivers on a freeway. We pull out cases where the stars satisfy a scientific definition of life and also problems with the theory. The notion forces us to reconsider the limits of life and its possible forms in the universe.

Recent advances in technology have allowed Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create surreal images from its vast repository of online data. As impressive as these images are, there are valid reasons to be skeptical. Co-hosts Tal and Jared depict why AI art in it's current form is not like human creativity and can be used in harmful or manipulative ways. They stress the importance of taking a methodical and empathetic approach with empowering this technology.

Tom Joseph Brown : The Anthropocentric Universe

Welcome to this episode, where we explore the concept of ecocentrism, a system of values that prioritizes the environment and ecosystems over human interests. This perspective is a radical challenge to the dominant anthropocentric worldview, and has implications for individual behavior, scientific research, and political decision-making. We also discuss contrasting perspectives, such as technocentrism, and the implications for economic organization. Join us as we reflect on our own perspectives and how we can shift our values and actions towards a more sustainable and harmonious relationship with the environment. source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecocentrism

Are you interested in post-anthropocentric cities after smart ones? Our summary today works with the article titled Towards Post-Anthropocentric Cities: Reconceptualising smart cities to evade urban ecocide from 2019 by Tan Yigitcanlar, Marcus Foth, and Md Kamruzzaman, published in the Journal of Urban Technology. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how to change current smart city approaches to evade a most likely urban ecocide. This article presents the next step in smart city evolution with post-anthropocentric cities. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: Smart city have gone through the intelligent city, the smart city and the responsive city phase, and probably it is time for to evolve further for its fourth generation. The biggest challenge now is to find a way to change our mentality and politics on urban transformation. Urban evolution and smart cities arrived to cross road where the next decisions need to include more sustainable ideas and more-than-human elements. You can find the article through this link. Abstract: This short piece acts as a coda to this journal's special issue on “Smart Cities and Innovative Technologies.” First, it provides a retrospective view of the origins of the smart city concept. The paper, secondly, presents the most recent perspectives on the new interpretations of the smart city notion. It then provides a commentary on the potential directions for a better reconceptualization of smart cities to evade a most likely urban ecocide. Lastly, the short communication concludes by asking two critical questions: (a) Will urban scholars, planners, designers, and activists be able to convince urban policymakers and the general public of the need for a post-anthropocentric urban turnaround? (b) How do the public, private, and academic sectors along with communities pave the way for post-anthropocentric cities and more-than-human futures?

Willi Braun's Jesus and Addiction to Origins: Towards an Anthropocentric Study of Religion (Equinox, 2020)  constitutes an extended argument for an anthropocentric, human-focused study of religious practices. Part I presents the basic premise of the argument, which is that there is nothing special or extraordinary about human behaviors and constructs that are claimed to have uniquely religious status and authority. Instead, they are fundamentally human, and so the scholar of religion is engaged in nothing more or less than studying humans across time and place in all their complex existence-which includes creating more-than-human beings and realities. As an extended and detailed example of such an approach, Part II addresses practices, rhetoric, and other data in early Christianities within Greco-Roman cultures and religions. The underlying aim is to insert studies of the New Testament and non-canonical texts, most often presented as "biblical studies," into the anthropocentric study of religion proposed in Part I. How might we approach the study of "sacred texts" if they are nothing more or less than human documents deriving from situations that were themselves all too human? Braun's Jesus and Addiction to Origins addresses that question with clarity and insight.

This week we are rebroadcasting our interview with Queen Quet, originally aired in November of 2018. The Anthropocene tells the story of compounding injustice towards people and planet. It tells the story of growth for growth's sake, living beyond boundaries sacredly assigned to us. In this episode, we are honored to be in dialogue with Queen Quet, Chieftess and Head-of-State for the Gullah/Geechee Nation, who is striving for justice on the front lines of the most pressing Anthropocentric intersections: climate change, resource extraction, corrupt and negligent government bodies, encroaching development, and exploitative tourism. Queen Quet, Marquetta L. Good-wine is a published author, computer scientist, lecturer, mathematician, historian, columnist, preservationist, environmental justice advocate, film consultant, and “The Art-ivist.” Queen Quet was selected, elected, and enstooled by her people to be the first Queen Mother, “head pun de bodee,” and official spokesperson for the Gullah/Geechee Nation. She is the founder of the premiere advocacy organization for the continuation of Gullah/Geechee culture, the Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition. Music by The Gullah Singers - Live recordings from Gullah/Geechee TV Nayshun Nyews with Queen Quet and The Gullah/Geechee Nation International Music & Movement Festival.

คุณจินตนาการออกไหมว่า ในโลกที่ไร้มนุษย์จะมีสภาพเป็นอย่างไร? . มันยากทีเดียวที่จะนึกฝันเพราะเราอยู่ในยุคที่มนุษย์เป็นศูนย์กลางของสรรพสิ่งหรือ Anthropocentric เราจัดวางตัวเองไว้เหนือโลกธรรมชาติ . ‘THE WORLD WITHOUT US' หรือ ‘เมื่อโลกไม่มีเรา' จะพาไปเยี่ยมชมโลกอีกใบที่ไม่มีมนุษย์เหลืออยู่ โลกที่มนุษย์ทิ้งภาระไว้ให้ธรรมชาติต้องเยียวยาตัวเอง โลกที่ธรรมชาติจะเอาคืนสิ่งที่มันสูญเสียไป-ความสมดุล ความอุดมสมบูรณ์ ผืนป่า แม่น้ำ ทะเล ไม่ว่าจะต้องใช้เวลานานแค่ไหนก็ตาม . อย่างไรก็ตาม โลกที่ไม่มีมนุษย์เป็นไปได้ยากมาก แต่ก็ใช่ว่าจะเป็นไปไม่ได้ หาก ‘เรา' ยังคิดและทำ ไม่เปลี่ยนแปลง . โลกที่ไม่มี ‘เรา' อาจรออยู่ในอนาคตข้างหน้า

In Animals as Legal Beings: Contesting Anthropocentric Legal Orders (University of Toronto Press, 2021), Maneesha Deckha critically examines how Canadian law and, by extension, other legal orders around the world, participate in the social construction of the human-animal divide and the abject rendering of animals as property. Through a rigorous but cogent analysis, Deckha calls for replacing the exploitative property classification for animals with a new transformative legal status or subjectivity called "beingness." In developing a new legal subjectivity for animals, one oriented toward respecting animals for who they are rather than their proximity to idealized versions of humanness, Animals as Legal Beings seeks to bring critical animal theorizations and animal law closer together. Throughout, Deckha draws upon the feminist animal care tradition, as well as feminist theories of embodiment and relationality, postcolonial theory, and critical animal studies. Her argument is critical of the liberal legal view of animals and directed at a legal subjectivity for animals attentive to their embodied vulnerability, and desirous of an animal-friendly cultural shift in the core foundations of anthropocentric legal systems. Theoretically informed yet accessibly presented, Animals as Legal Beings makes a significant contribution to an array of interdisciplinary debates and is an innovative and astute argument for a meaningful more-than-human turn in law and policy. Akash Ondaatje is a historical researcher focusing on the interconnected lives of humans and animals. He studied at McGill University (B.A. History) and Queen's University (M.A. History), where he researched human-animal relations and transatlantic exchanges in eighteenth-century British culture through his thesis, Animal Ascension: Elevation and Debasement Through Human-Animal Associations in English Satire, 1700-1820 (https://qspace.library.queensu.ca/handle/1974/27991).

In Animals as Legal Beings: Contesting Anthropocentric Legal Orders (University of Toronto Press, 2021), Maneesha Deckha critically examines how Canadian law and, by extension, other legal orders around the world, participate in the social construction of the human-animal divide and the abject rendering of animals as property. Through a rigorous but cogent analysis, Deckha calls for replacing the exploitative property classification for animals with a new transformative legal status or subjectivity called "beingness." In developing a new legal subjectivity for animals, one oriented toward respecting animals for who they are rather than their proximity to idealized versions of humanness, Animals as Legal Beings seeks to bring critical animal theorizations and animal law closer together. Throughout, Deckha draws upon the feminist animal care tradition, as well as feminist theories of embodiment and relationality, postcolonial theory, and critical animal studies. Her argument is critical of the liberal legal view of animals and directed at a legal subjectivity for animals attentive to their embodied vulnerability, and desirous of an animal-friendly cultural shift in the core foundations of anthropocentric legal systems. Theoretically informed yet accessibly presented, Animals as Legal Beings makes a significant contribution to an array of interdisciplinary debates and is an innovative and astute argument for a meaningful more-than-human turn in law and policy. Akash Ondaatje is a historical researcher focusing on the interconnected lives of humans and animals. He studied at McGill University (B.A. History) and Queen's University (M.A. History), where he researched human-animal relations and transatlantic exchanges in eighteenth-century British culture through his thesis, Animal Ascension: Elevation and Debasement Through Human-Animal Associations in English Satire, 1700-1820 (https://qspace.library.queensu.ca/handle/1974/27991).

Recorded on World Water Day, in this episode, we speak with Dr. Farhana Sultana, Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and the Environment and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University to discuss all things water. Our conversation touches on the human right to water and sanitation, the ways in which water is a cross-cutting, multisectoral entity, and how governance of water, and further, privatization, is complicated, and can often be detrimental, to ensuring our rights to water.

Steven Nemes proposes an original way of understanding anthropocentric ontology that engages realism, naturalism, empiricism, skepticism, and other schools of thought. He argues that human beings are not accidents in the cosmic order but that consciousness is integral to reality itself.

Many times on PGAP we have discussed how critical it is to live in a way that is Ecocentric rather than Anthropocentric. To decolonise our economies and societies so they are living within the laws of nature rather than trying to dominate the natural world. So what needs to change and how to we facilitate this change? Do we rally against corporations, governments, capitalism and neoliberalism? Or do we need to stop changing the cruel churning world and work to shift our cruel churning minds caught in trauma, language, concepts and judgement? Can one even separate one without the other? If my observations are correct, these distinctions have been crumbling in recent years. The political left are starting to realise that infighting over diminishing points of different has led to bitterness, resentment and burnout. Meanwhile not a lot has changed – the corporations still call the shots at the relentless expense of the natural world. Activists are looking for other ways. ‘Holistic Activism’ (https://holisticactivism.net/), which advocates for collaboration, rather than conflict, is an example of one such movement. Meanwhile, those in the ‘spirituality movement’ have started to become more politically engaged. (‘Spirituality’ being a - ha ha - broad church but for ease of reference I refer to those who engage in Taoism, Non-Duality, Shamanism and Neo-shamanism, Zen and Buddhism etc.) The response to COVID, particularly from the Victorian state government, has led to a new degree of activism within the community. Some of the same pitfalls that have befallen environmental activists, such as division and clashing over social media, have begun to emerge. In this episode, I try to make a sense of recent events by talking to Darpan, a wise and incredibly experienced practitioner with decades of experience as a teacher, therapist, councillor, sound healer and facilitator of shamanic retreats. As an active person who has always struggled to sit still, I allow myself to be challenged on Darpan’s perspective that indeed, we CAN’T change the system without changing ourselves. Indeed, the universe is a vastly more complex place than our senses and minds can ever conceptualise - perhaps there is a astral world of spiritual events taking place whether our rationalistic brains like it or not. () For those coming in to here from a system change angle, some of Darpan’s perspectives may be challenging. For those coming here who are fans of Darpan, you may find MY questions to him and my perspectives at the end of the interview uncomfortable. This need not be a bad thing – let this be a test of different perspective coming together to find common ground. If anything, this is the one thing that may get us out of the mess we’re in. During the Podcast I refer to Alan Watts - the video almost broke me! and the documentaries Esteem (https://www.greenplanetfilms.org/product/esteem/), My Octopus Teacher (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s0LTDhqe5A), and Living in the Time of Dying (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvzmPyY08ck). In my own bias this is essential viewing. We are also graced by a stunning, beautiful meditative track from Melbourne artist Belinda Wickens (https://belindawickens.bandcamp.com/)entitled ‘She Comes’. Thank you so much for being part of this Podcast Belinda. Special Guest: Darpan.

Environmental law touches all parts of our lives. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Angela Lee, Assistant Professor of Law at Ryerson University, and Dr. Heather McLeod-Kilmurray, Professor of Law at the University of Ottawa, about Canada's environmental laws and the ways in which they successfully (or not so successfully) help protect the environment.

A letter from a listener:“Hi Jonah and Patrick,It took me three days to listen to this episode, this I am behind the flow. But between my listening times, I was in my garden for many hours, and I kept pondering the image of Christ as the gardener. What would this look like for myself as the gardener? What could I change in my gesture and activity as the gardener in my place on the earth to create a more Christ-like presence? How is Christ  in me when I am gardening? And so I planted, tended, pondered and then came back to the second half of this day's conversation to discover how aligned your sharing was with my questions.And I also thought of Marko Pogachnik and his work. Jonah's story of the moment in Nova Scotia brought me back to that.Thank you - each day I think this is the most powerful episode, and then the next day comes, and... together we reach even a higher place as the substance grows. Wow!- Susan Weber”We hope you all have had a beautiful Easter, no matter what outer limitations our world may have given it, and that you might enjoy this episode from Easter 2020. We will be back with a new episode in a week.***It's Tuesday, May 12th and Jonah and Patrick take up the wonderful question from a listener about the 'paradigm shift' that seems to be taking place that many authors and activists in the environmental movement have been speaking about. Are we Christians still too focused on the human being, to 'Anthropocentric'?  Is not that exactly what causes such harm to the earth? Ought we not recover the so called, 'indigenous' cultures and their consciousness of the earth? Jonah shares a special story from a visit to Nova Scotia to explore the 'Christ' way of approaching this. Come along!Our thanks to Elliott Chamberlin who composed the opening music, "Seeking Together", and to Nathaniel and Abigail for the song, "By the Mark" at the end of the episode.

In this first episode of 2020, we acknowledge the significant scholarly and theoretical development currently taking shape in the sociology of sport specifically and the humanities and social sciences in general. An increasing number of critical sport scholars are embracing theoretical discourses we can collectively associate with “New Materialism”, scholarship seeking to destabilize Anthropocentric notions of human subjectivity and relate humans with nonhuman and environmental actants in the contemporary context of rapid technological change and global late capitalism. New Materialism complicates the influential foundations laid by decades of historical and cultural materialist inquiry, as well as the twentieth-century “linguistic turn”, in which feminist, critical race, postcolonial and poststructural scholars emphasized the social constructed-ness of categories like gender and race and the role of discourse in contexts of identity formation. Equipped with this insight from the linguistic turn, sociologists, cultural theorists, historians, geographers, and other critical scholars are returning their focus to “matter” and are trying to better understand human life in relation to technology, animals, and other environmental and non-human “actants” in a way that does not privilege the human subject. Thus, we dedicate the first episode of 2020 to the question of New Materialism and how New Materialist theories can productively extend the critical study of sport, physical culture and the active body in new and excited ways. We speak with Drs. Joshua Newman, Holly Thorpe, and David Andrews, three prominent and influential figures in the sociology of sport field who recently edited a volume of New Materialist scholarship, culminating the new book Sport, Physical Culture, and the Moving Body: Materialisms, Technologies, Ecologies. The editors discuss New Materialist inquiry and how the theoretical development can lead to more nuanced takes on the role of sport and the moving body in our present era of climate change and late capitalism. We then speak with Dr. Marianne Clark, a chapter author in the book, to gain a better understand of what exactly is New Materialist sport scholarship and what kind of research may be generated by the New Materialist turn.

I read from anthropocentric to anti. The word of the episode is "anthropomorphize". dictionarypod@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.patreon.com/spejampar 917-727-5757

Who wrote the book of love? God did. Not only did He define love, God is love itself! Yet the world, in its self-elevating zeal, has watered-down love to anemic, anthropocentric drivel that has no power, no foundation, and no certainty. But love is so much more.

This is the second episode in the series on “all the biases” broken up into eight categories. Last week, I told you about all the personal biases (and the rules your brain uses to convince itself it is the most awesome and amazing thing in the world). Today, we are going to talk about all the biases that relate to other people and groups. We will start out with general biases, and then have sections about the biases that apply for people we are similar to and those we are different from. And, in case you are curious, the other six categories of biases we will cover in coming weeks are: memories, future versus present thinking, selective attention, math is hard, lazy brain, and finally novelty and stories. I’m so excited to break those all down for you! And as a reminder, this series is not about digging deep on any one topic, but instead giving you just a little taste of each bias and how you can use it in life and business. Each of these biases will likely get its own episode over time, but this will allow you to learn a little about them, and how they relate to each other, now. CLICK HERE FOR YOUR FREE DOWNLOAD! Show Notes [04:32] Intro to general biases toward other people and groups. [05:28] This first term is probably one you are familiar with: groupthink. This is essentially what happens when people are in groups, and either because they want to have a harmonious experience or not rock the boat…or just the herding mentality of humans, the people within the group start to make bad decisions. These could be irrational or different than what the person would choose to do if left to their own devices, and it is often in an attempt to minimize conflicts. [06:01] One way Amazon combats this is by having a silent start to meetings (and I linked to an article in Inc. about this in the show notes). Essentially, the leader of the meeting has to write a very well-thought out meeting prep document, which is presented at the beginning of the meeting, and everyone will sit and read it silently to themselves. [07:18] Shared information bias can be counterintuitive. [08:03] Bike shedding is when it's easier to talk about a simple topic instead of the one big topic that you should be talking about. [08:29] Be aware of the bandwagon effect in groups. [10:20] It's harder to build the snowball than to keep it moving so you will have more effort on the front end. [10:55] People look better and are more attractive when they're in a group then when they're by themselves. Remember, things are not always what they seem, so don't be intimidated. [11:57] Because of hostile attribution bias you might think that the group will be mean to you. [13:07] Stereotyping is a natural tendency and doesn't have to be hostile. It's expecting someone who's a member of a certain group to have certain characteristics. [15:04] Humans are complex and belong to all sorts of affinity groups that make up our identities. [16:09] The bulk of your perception of any person is based on their group affiliations and a stereotypical bias which may or may not be true or accurate for an individual. [17:52] Implicit association, which is how quickly a word comes to mind or matches with a previous word that was said. That can show how closely they are associated. [20:10] Because of the moral credential effect, if you have tended to not be prejudiced in the past…your likeliness to be prejudiced in the future is actually higher! [21:21] Fundamental attribution error is important to keep in mind when thinking about how we assess the actions and choices of other people. [22:10] When people experience the flip of this – thinking others’ behavior is due to a situation and their own behaviors are more about their personality, it is called extrinsic incentives bias. [23:25] When you make an internal attribution error to the whole group instead of the individuals that make it up, it is called ultimate attribution error. [24:04] When we apply this bias to individuals instead of a group, it is called the halo effect. [25:50] And, my general advice is to be aware of it and try to think of other people as multidimensional, and remember that every group is made up of multiple, multidimensional people. [26:18] PEOPLE LIKE US 00:26:34] Alright, moving on to groups of people like us. In general, we like people who are like us more than people who are not like us. This is called the in-group bias, and people are more likely to give preferential treatment to people who they see as part of their own group, or who they think are like them. [27:57] Another place where in-group bias can come up is when hearing about a victim in a story. Defensive attribution hypothesis occurs when people assign more blame as their similarity to the victim increases – this can be both in physical attributes or situational similarities. [29:25] Anthropocentric thinking is when we use human analogies and thought processes when considering less familiar, non-human things. A common example would be noting that most humans think of death as a negative thing, they apply this same value to non-human entities, even though death is necessary for many ecosystems to thrive. [31:36] This is called anthropomorphism or (as you might remember from school) personification. When we see a dog smiling we think it is happy. [32:27] PEOPLE DIFFERENT FROM US [33:03] Reactive evaluation, which means we will think less of proposals or suggestions that we believe came from an adversary or someone not like us. [35:09] Be aware of these biases and how they impact your experiences every single day. [35:30] Try to identify your biases and see where you are unfairly judging or giving benefits to someone similar to you. [35:55] Let's open our minds and make the world a little less biased and a little more thoughtful shall we? Thanks for listening. Don’t forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Android.

This week we are honored to be in dialogue with Queen Quet, Chieftess and Head-of-State for the Gullah/Geechee Nation, who is striving for justice on the front lines of the most pressing Anthropocentric intersections: climate change, resource extraction, corrupt and negligent government bodies, land theft, encroaching development and exploitative tourism. The Gullah/Geechee are descendants of the first enslaved Central and West Africans who remained isolated along the inland, coastal area, and Sea Islands between present-day Jacksonville, North Carolina and Jacksonville, Florida. After the Civil War, these peoples were the first group of African descendants to own land in mass in the United States, allowing them to preserve their African cultural traditions and Indigenous practices. Queen Quet, Marquetta L. Goodwine is a published author, computer scientist, lecturer, mathematician, historian, columnist, preservationist, environmental justice advocate, film consultant, and “The Art-ivist.” Music by The Gullah Singers

Klaus has just returned from addressing the highest body of the United Nations. The General Assembly - on Earth Trusteeship in April of this year. He is a Professor of Law and Director, New Zealand Centre for Environmental Law, University of Auckland; Chair, IUCN World Commission on Environmental Law Ethics Specialist Group. With all the mounting ecological challenges, climate change, melting tundra, ocean acidification etc - that face us today these are finally being acknowledged as the logical symptoms of a disease and Klaus reiterates this - a disease that is permeating our society as a result of economics gone mad. As an extension of the Chicago school in the 1970’s and then policies by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher we are left with posing the question - who will look after the planetary environment? That economics having been the main and in many ways the only fundamental agenda over the last 35 - 40 years that we (even ordinary NZers) are realising we are now in deeper trouble. That without factoring urgent ecological solutions and taking action - we are to experience environmental blow-back of increasing proportions. We have been going backwards over this time especially as we have added another three and half billion souls to the planetary population. In doing so - the web of life ‘Nature’ - that embraces and integrates all the ecosystems that are layered over each other from the micro to the macro have been put under unprecedented stress. All due to the increase in mans dominating nature especially around deforestation and pollution at all levels - that has been so overwhelming that our planet’s biota, natural systems and feedback loops are unable to cope with the rapid changes that are upon us. It’s all happening far too quickly and our biosphere can not adapt fast enough in the time available. Thus, with multiple tipping points being reached the possibility of cascading problems is an extreme urgency that has to be addressed. Biosphere collapse has to be avoided!   Today, business people in general when we sit them down and talk ‘one on one’ they will agree that the commercial sector are grabbing and extracting voraciously from the earth, however when they go back to their corporation they cannot or are unable to initiate change. The main reason being that the business world in general has failed themselves by still being ‘ecological illiterate.’ This being predominant in the extreme in the global political arena as well. Today the concept of sustainability has so often been distorted, co-opted, and even trivialized by being used without the ‘ecological context’ that gives it its proper meaning. So, it is worthwhile to reflect about what “sustainability" really means. What is sustained in a sustainable community is not economic growth or competitive advantage, but the entire web of life on which our long-term survival depends. In other words, a sustainable community is designed in such a way that its ways of life, businesses, economy, physical structures, and technologies do not interfere with nature’s inherent ability to sustain life. It may be also likened to ‘durable prosperity’ - that nature will last ad infinitum. The first step in this endeavor, naturally, must be to understand how nature sustains life. It turns out that this involves a whole new conception of life. Indeed, such a new conception of life has emerged over the last 30 years. Called ‘The Systems View of Life’ it is grand synthesis of this new understanding of life.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If2Fw0z6uxY Looking back. Historical Limitations. Klaus reviews Western civilisation over the last 3-4,000 years and though we as a Western material culture have ‘seemingly’ benefited hugely from our endeavours we have gradually committed so much ecological and cultural damage - that we are now belatedly realising that there is a limit to growth on a finite ecological - planetary system - that we are now teetering on overhang.  When we go back to Greece the word oikos means household and nomos means management. Oikonomos, economy, is thus - those things concerning the management of the house or home as on our ‘home' planet - earth. Note that eco for ecology and economics also have the same root prefix.  Thinking in terms of relationships is crucial for ecology, because ecology — (as mentioned above - derived from oikos) is the science of the relationships among various members of the Earth Household. Many indigenous cultures embody profound ecological awareness and think of nature in terms of relationships and patterns. Looking at what the Western model has brought to the world. Dualism: Can be seen as another Western construct.      The separation between the human sphere and the natural sphere. Where once we were connected to the earth - the wind whispered, the trees sighed, the brook gurgled and oneness within nature permeated much of life from as far back as neolithic times. We were embedded in natural forces. That over time the academic Greeks started to quantify and measure and objectify things and dualism and ‘separation’ gradually came into being. We put up walls and insulated and isolated ourselves from the environment. Anthropocentric:  human centeredness  - that we can measure everything through the lenses of human experience and that we only look at the environment for its usefulness. Materialism:  the predominance of measuring any reality in the terms of matter as against energy or spirit - or the intangible. Having things and measuring success by ‘owning’ things and stacking them up all around us. Atomism:  and our modern science where we are very proud “knowing all about very little and losing the ability to learn a little about everything” … A shift from a more general understanding to more precise expertise - and thus not seeing the larger context. Locked into reductionism and reducing everything down to the mini particle and eventual invisible energy packets. Greed: when individuals and materialism come together and the so called ‘enlightenment’ - celebrating the idea of individual freedom - another European invention - (has a lot of good things going for it - like human rights and even democracy and so forth) - the dark side is individualism that came into being and - taking it all - with no limits becoming a norm.  This translates that one does not have a sense of collective interdependence and responsibilities anymore - and when you combine these with capitalism and materialism we see the 001% of the 1% express what they are doing at the top of the power structures of today. This is what we have today. We have a great deal of separation - living in buildings doing our best to experience some sort of community yet people have in many ways -  just become consumers rather than citizens. Economism:  that we measure everything through the lens of economic cost benefit analysis - time is money  - be it Local or Central government.  How much is that worth? How much did you win, how much did you lose?   My net worth is ……….. Add up the 1st letters of these 6 words and they Equal = DAMAGE This European experience is totally out of step of non European cultures thus the need to heal our planetary systems and be more open to listen …. We need to become citizens of the earth see ourselves as brother and sisters with other parts of our planet. We are in this together - so we need to know what is it like to articulate what it is to be human on this - our beautiful planet earth. The necessity now is to have a Nationwide Conversation and talk about long term strategies. We are all integrated within the web of life - even if we do not realise it - and with all biota.  However, with climate change upon us and the invisible membrane of our atmosphere that envelope’s our planet as the only barrier between us and deep space. The imperative is to understand we are together - breathing in and out - this invisible barrier that is fundamental to our survival as a species. As Chief Seattle the American First Nation medicine man stated “whatever we do to the web of life - we do to ourselves.” That we as humanity need to understand what the ‘global commons’ is and then how to honour it and respectfully work with it. This is when we learn to become ‘Ecologically Literate.’ http://earthcharter.org/virtual-library2/images/uploads/Korten%20Earth%20Charter%20Indianapolis%20Talk.pdf

• Destined for Greatness? • Sermon Review: Unexpected Heroes Unveiled by Troy Gramling, Potential Church

Transcript: It is very difficult to avoid anthropocentric thinking when considering the issue of life in the universe. Anthropocentric thinking means considering the subject in terms of human origins, human perceptions, human values, and human culture. When we think of science fiction, it’s often the case that aliens look something like us. They are bipedal, or they appear to be mammals or somewhat similar to us in some way. Life in the universe could be so strange as to be unrecognizable. Perhaps the biggest challenge, if life in the universe were discovered and we found that our biology is not unique, would be to the conventional religions of the world. In the Judeo-Christian faith, Christ appears in the image of humans and dies for their sins. What is the situation for such a religion when it’s found that intelligent aliens exist? Do they have souls? Were they saved? What is the role of world religions when we find intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? People have barely begun to consider seriously this prospect, but we’re faced with it because the universe is a vast place, and it’s quite likely that intelligent life may exist somewhere.

No, there's no Top 10 of 2010... there were just too many solid albums that came out that year that it would've been unfair to grade some more than the others....Said solid albums that were featured are AGALLOCH's Marrow Of The Spirit,THE OCEAN's double album(Spring release-Heliocentric) and (Fall release- Anthropocentric), YAKUZA's Of Seismic Consequence, AGRYPINIE's 16[485]and of course some local bands such as RECKONER and THE ALMIGHTY EXCRUCIATING PAIN...Enjoy the sound of flowing Metal!!!!m/ Happy 2011
