Hello friends! We dearly hope you have all gotten through Cyclone Alfred and its aftermath safe and dry.For obvious reasons, and like a lot of people, we've been thinking a lot about disaster, crisis, climate change, community-based responses this week, in the aftermath of Cyclone Alfred here in Magan-djin, so-called brisbane. In case you somehow missed it - South East Queensland was struck by its first cyclone in 50 years over the weekend, and while the cell technically weakened to a tropical low before it crossed the coast near Redcliffe, residents still reported wind gusts of over 110 kph on the coast. In addition to the wild winds, the cyclone also brought massive amounts of rain to the region, including falls of over 300mm in a single day. This led, predictably, to major flash flooding across the city, compounding the damaging impacts of the wind and subsequent coastal erosion.So we've decided to pull together a couple of episodes of the podcast dedicated to digging into the political tensions, questions, and possibilities that emerge in times of acute disaster. In this first episode, we're looking back at Cyclone Alfred and some of the ways that communities responded to, prepared for, and theorised their experiences of the crisis. First up, we're reflecting on the ways that governments and corporations make use of disasters like Cyclone Alfred to push through repressive and dangerous legislation. Just today, we saw the LNP Lord Mayor of so-called brisbane, Adrian Schrinner, announce plans for emergency evictions of people who have been sleeping rough in parks across the city - despite the fact that there is no affordable, appropriate accommodation. There's been a lot of disingenuous claims made by the Lord Mayor in announcing these measures - including the claim that everyone sleeping rough in the city has been offered alternative accommodation and turned it down in favour of staying in the park. But what's clear already is that the immediate aftermath of Cyclone Alfred has created an ideal backdrop for the city council to push ahead with their plan to fully dismantle all of the communities that have - by necessity - taken up residence in parks across the city. This is an absolutely horrific example of a government utilising an environmental disaster to expand systems of control and repression under the guise of “public safety” and “protection.”If you're as outraged as we are, get along to this snap rally at Musgrave Park this Sunday 16th May from 3.30pm - 5.30pm: “Where are they meant to go?”: How can we resist police moving on the homeless?Next up in this week's episode, we're looking towards more optimistic horizons - catching up with our good friend and climate comrade, Moira Williams, who is a long-term activist and advocate with Move Beyond Coal. In a short phone interview, Moira shares some of her reflections and insights into the importance of local and community based organising and support networks during times of disaster, and how those networks might work alongside broader political campaigns to challenge those responsible for the ongoing threat of climate collapse. Check out the “Support your Street” guide that Moira mentions and start organising with your own neighbours to make sure that you're well-prepared for the next disaster! And in the meantime, if you've been impacted by the cyclone and you want support, there's a heap of community-led initiatives supporting people as they embark on recovery efforts. The Greens across the city have been redirecting all of their volunteer capacity towards supporting local recovery efforts, so reach out to the teams in Griffith, Brisbane, Maiwar & our dear friend and comrade Remah Naji's campaign in Moreton to get involved with ongoing support efforts. If you are feeling politically frustrated by the failures of governments and corporations to take the risk of climate collapse seriously, get along to the upcoming Cyclone Speak Out at Speakers Corner outside the Queensland Parliament next Thursday 20th March from 10am. You'll hear from communities directly impacted by Cyclone Alfred, as well as organisers working towards climate justice in a variety of different ways. And a reminder that you can also head along to the regular protests outside the Boeing headquarters at 123 Albert St (cnr Charlotte St) in the city from 12noon on Wednesdays. It's a timely reminder that the global weapons trade and military industries are both major contributors to carbon emissions across the globe. As our comrade Remah Naji explains: “A couple of years ago, a report revealed that if the world's militaries were treated as a single nation, they would rank fourth in carbon emissions - just behind China, the USA and India, but ahead of Russia. This puts military-related fossil fuel emissions above both the aviation and shipping industries combined. This massive source of carbon emissions continues to be largely unrecognised because a lot of mainstream environmental groups don't want to directly challenge the military industry.”There's a lot to dig into once we start pulling back the layers of ecological and environmental disasters, that's for sure! So make sure that you keep joining us over the next few weeks as we dig further into these questions and try to make better sense of the politics of natural disasters & the struggle for a collective future.

Tropical Cyclone Alfred has changed direction and is directly heading towards the Queensland coast. A warning has been issued for Double Island Point in Queensland to Yamba in New South Wales, including Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Byron Bay, and Ballina. BOM Senior Meteorologist Dean Narramore, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "Cyclone warning means that we are likely to see gales develop in this area within the next 24 hours, likely tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow evening. "Gales are defined as sustained winds at 64km an hour, gusting even higher than that. So they'll first feel it on the islands through Moreton and Straddie." "Then we'll feel it on the coast, and then we'll see it move inland as we move through Wednesday night, particularly during the day Thursday and especially during Thursday night," Mr Narramore continued.

In the wake of making it illegal for homeless people to own a pet and for anyone to be publicly sleeping in vans or cars, the Moreton Bay City Council has hired private security to help protect council workers on clean-up duties. The founder of Nourish Street, a food collection and distribution service for those in need, Beau Haywood told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, "The new council bylaw that has come in has driven a lot of people out." "I guess the council may have feared a bit of backlash from that." "I've had an associate that has contacted the council asking to provide instances of where staff have been allegedly threatened and they've just responded back with a generic statement with no concrete proof," Mr Haywood said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ceri Hand interviews painter Eleanor Moreton, exploring her artistic journey from childhood to her current practice. Eleanor's rebel spirit, unique approach to creativity, and commitment to her craft shine through as she discusses her influences, challenges, and success. From navigating art school to finding her stride in painting, Eleanor's story is both inspiring and realistic, offering valuable lessons for artists at any stage of their career. KEY TAKEAWAYS Eleanor's upbringing in a suburban environment significantly influenced her artistic themes, particularly her interest in family life and the 1950s-60s era. Eleanor compares her artistic process to "herding a swarm of bees," juggling various ideas and influences until they coalesce into a cohesive work. Embracing beauty in her paintings was a decades-long process for Eleanor, overcoming the art school taboo against creating beautiful work. Collaboration with poet John Hegley provides Eleanor with a different creative outlet, balancing her solitary studio practice with performance and music. The year 2007-2008 marked a significant turning point in Eleanor's career, with multiple achievements affirming her place in the art world. Don't underestimate the importance of artists identifying their ideal audience and platform for showcasing their work. Eleanor stresses the value of showing up consistently to work, even during challenging periods or creative droughts! Artists need to view themselves as custodians of their work, responsible for sharing it with the world rather than focusing on personal ego. BEST MOMENTS "My mind is always alert to new things that will come in and there's some kind of detector that will, you know, detect something, even when I don't know why or where it fits with other things." "There isn't one art world, there are many. And I think it's in a quite practical sense to say, where would I like to show, who would I like to show my work to?" "Freedom is incredibly important to me, particularly mental freedom and I get quite irritated when gallerists or people who visit the studio sort of frown and say that something doesn't connect to something else." "It's not called a practice for nothing. You know, you do it over and over” "I love Eleanor's rebel spirit and her willingness to embrace discomfort, pushing both her practice and life." EPISODE RESOURCES PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Review: Conor Moreton's "Civilization & Cooperation", published by [DEACTIVATED] Duncan Sabien on May 26, 2024 on LessWrong. Author's note: in honor of the upcoming LessOnline event, I'm sharing this one here on LessWrong rather than solely on my substack. If you like it, you should subscribe to my substack, which you can do for free (paid subscribers see stuff a week early). I welcome discussion down below but am not currently committing to any particular level of participation myself. Dang it, I knew I should have gone with my first instinct, and photocopied the whole book first. But then again, given that it vanished as soon as I got to the end of it, maybe my second instinct was right, and trying to do that would've been seen as cheating by whatever magical librarians left it for me in the first place. It was just sitting there, on my desk, when I woke up six weeks ago. At first I thought it was an incredibly in-depth prank, or maybe like a fun puzzle that Logan had made for me as an early birthday present. But when I touched it, it glowed, and it unfolded in a way that I'm pretty sure we don't currently have the tech for. Took me a while to decode the text, which mostly looked like: …but eventually I got the hang of it, thanks to the runes turning out to be English, somehow, just a weird phonetic transcription of it. Hilariously mundanely, it turned out to be a textbook (!), for what seemed like the equivalent of seventh graders (!!), for what seemed like the equivalent of social studies (!!!), written by an educator whose name (if I managed the translation correctly) is something like "Conor Moreton"… …in a place called (if I managed the translation correctly) something like "Agor." At first, I thought it was a civics textbook for the government and culture of Agor in particular, but nope - the more I read, the more it seemed like a "how stuff works" for societies in general, with a lot of claims that seemed to apply pretty straightforwardly to what I understand about cultures here on Earth. (I'll be honest. By the time I got to the end of it, I was stoked about the idea of living in a country where everybody was taught this stuff in seventh grade.) I took notes, but not very rigorous ones. I wasn't counting on the book just disappearing as soon as I finished reading the last page (I know, I know, not very savvy of me, I should have seen that coming. 20/20 hindsight.) so what follows is a somewhat patchwork review, with a lot of detail in random places and very little detail in others. Sorry. It's as complete as I can make it. If anybody else happens to get their hands on a copy, please let me know, or at least be sure to take better notes yourself. I. Civilization as self-restraint The first chapter of Moreton's book asks readers to consider the question Where does civilization come from? Why do we have it? After all, at some point, civilization didn't exist. Then gradually, over time, it came into being, and gradually, over time, it became more and more complex. (Moreton goes out of his way to make clear that he's not just talking about, like, static agrarian society, but civilizations of all kinds, including nomadic and foraging ones.) At every step of the way, he argues, each new extra layer of civilization had to be better than what came before. Cultures aren't quite the same as organisms, but they're still subject to evolutionary pressure. Behaviors that don't pay off, in some important sense, eventually die out, outcompeted by other, better-calibrated behaviors. The book points out that what civilization even is is a question that's up for debate, with many people using many different definitions. Moreton proposes a single, unifying principle: Civilization is the voluntary relinquishment of technically available options. It's a binding of the self, a del...

In April 2022, the Loremen recorded their shortest episode ever: Dame Creswyke's Spectre. Did you think one haunted hotel was all Moreton-in-Marsh had to offer? Well, you were wrong! That sleepy Cotswold town on the Fosse Way is a veritable horn of plenty. Plenty of ghosts, that is. Expect spectres, mists, coughs, sensations and a bevy of airborne phenomena.
