A inteligência artificial, em seus múltiplos sentidos, tem dominado a agenda pública e até mesmo o direcionamento do capital das grandes empresas de tecnologia. Mas você já parou para pensar na infraestrutura gigantesca que dê conta de sustentar o crescimento acelerado das IAs? O futuro e o presente da inteligência artificial passa pela existência dos datacenters. E agora é mais urgente que nunca a gente discutir esse assunto. Estamos vendo um movimento se concretizar, que parece mais uma forma de colonialismo digital: com a crescente resistência à construção de datacenters nos países no norte global, empresas e governos parecem estar convencidos a trazer essas infraestruturas imensas com todos os seus impactos negativos ao sul global. Nesse episódio Yama Chiodi e Damny Laya conversam com pesquisadores, ativistas e atingidos para tentar aprofundar o debate sobre a infraestrutura material das IAs. A gente conversa sobre o que são datacenters e como eles impactam e irão impactar nossas vidas. No segundo episódio, recuperamos movimentos de resistência a sua instalação no Brasil e como nosso país se insere no debate, seguindo a perspectiva de ativistas e de pesquisadores da área que estão buscando uma regulação mais justa para esses grandes empreendimentos.  ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ROTEIRO [ vinheta da série ] [ Começa bio-unit ] YAMA: A inteligência artificial, em seus múltiplos sentidos, tem dominado a agenda pública e até mesmo o direcionamento do capital das grandes empresas de tecnologia. Mas você já parou para pensar na infraestrutura gigantesca que dê conta de sustentar o crescimento acelerado das IA? DAMNY: O futuro e o presente da inteligência artificial passa pela existência dos data centers. E agora é mais urgente que nunca a gente discutir esse assunto. Estamos vendo um movimento se concretizar, que parece mais uma forma de colonialismo digital: com a crescente resistência à construção de datacenters nos países no norte global, empresas e governos parecem estar convencidos a trazer os datacenters com todos os seus impactos negativos ao sul global. YAMA: Nós conversamos com pesquisadores, ativistas e atingidos e em dois episódios nós vamos tentar aprofundar o debate sobre a infraestrutura material das IAs. No primeiro, a gente conversa sobre o que são datacenters e como eles impactam e irão impactar nossas vidas. DAMNY: No segundo, recuperamos movimentos de resistência a sua instalação no Brasil e como nosso país se insere no debate, seguindo a perspectiva de ativistas e de pesquisadores da área que estão buscando uma regulação mais justa para esses grandes empreendimentos. [ tom baixo ] YAMA: Eu sou o Yama Chiodi, jornalista de ciência e pesquisador do campo das mudanças climáticas. Se você já é ouvinte do oxigênio pode ter me ouvido aqui na série cidade de ferro ou no episódio sobre antropoceno. Ao longo dos últimos meses investiguei os impactos ambientais das inteligências artificiais para um projeto comum entre o LABMEM, o laboratório de mudança tecnológica, energia e meio ambiente, e o oxigênio. Em setembro passado, o Damny se juntou a mim pra gente construir esses episódios juntos. E não por acaso. O Damny publicou em outubro passado um relatório sobre os impactos socioambientais dos data centers no Brasil, intitulado “Não somos quintal de data center”. O link para o relatório completo se encontra disponível na descrição do episódio. Bem-vindo ao Oxigênio, Dam. DAMNY: Oi Yama. Obrigado pelo convite pra construir junto esses episódios. YAMA: É um prazer, meu amigo. DAMNY: Eu também atuo como jornalista de ciência e sou pesquisador de governança da internet já há algum tempo. Estou agora trabalhando como jornalista e pesquisador aqui no LABJOR, mas quando escrevi o relatório eu tava trabalhando como pesquisador-consultor na ONG IDEC, Instituto de Defesa de Consumidores. YAMA: A gente começa depois da vinheta. [ Termina Bio Unit] [ Vinheta Oxigênio ] [ Começa Documentary] YAMA: Você já deve ter ouvido na cobertura midiática sobre datacenters a formulação que te diz quantos litros de água cada pergunta ao chatGPT gasta. Mas a gente aqui não gosta muito dessa abordagem. Entre outros motivos, porque ela reduz o problema dos impactos socioambientais das IA a uma questão de consumo individual. E isso é um erro tanto político como factual. Calcular quanta água gasta cada pergunta feita ao ChatGPT tira a responsabilidade das empresas e a transfere aos usuários, escondendo a verdadeira escala do problema. Mesmo que o consumo individual cresça de modo acelerado e explosivo, ele sempre vai ser uma pequena fração do problema. Data centers operam em escala industrial, computando quantidades incríveis de dados para treinar modelos e outros serviços corporativos. Um único empreendimento pode consumir em um dia mais energia do que as cidades que os abrigam consomem ao longo de um mês. DAMNY: Nos habituamos a imaginar a inteligência artificial como uma “nuvem” etérea, mas, na verdade, ela só existe a partir de data centers monstruosos que consomem quantidades absurdas de recursos naturais. Os impactos sociais e ambientais são severos. Data centers são máquinas de consumo de energia, água e terra, e criam poluição do ar e sonora, num modelo que reforça velhos padrões de racismo ambiental. O desenvolvimento dessas infraestruturas frequentemente acontece à margem das comunidades afetadas, refazendo a cartilha global da injustiça ambiental. Ao seguir suas redes, perceberemos seus impactos em rios, no solo, no ar, em territórios indígenas e no crescente aumento da demanda por minerais críticos e, por consequência, de práticas minerárias profundamente destrutivas. YAMA: De acordo com a pesquisadora Tamara Kneese, diretora do programa de Clima, Tecnologia e Justiça do instituto de pesquisa Data & Society, com quem conversamos, essa infraestrutura está criando uma nova forma de colonialismo tecnológico. Os danos ambientais são frequentemente direcionados para as comunidades mais vulneráveis, de zonas rurais às periferias dos grandes centros urbanos, que se tornam zonas de sacrifício para o progresso dessa indústria. DAMNY: Além disso, a crescente insatisfação das comunidades do Norte Global com os data centers tem provocado o efeito colonial de uma terceirização dessas estruturas para o Sul Global. E o Brasil não apenas não é exceção como parece ser um destino preferencial por sua alta oferta de energia limpa. [pausa] E com o aval do governo federal, que acaba de publicar uma medida provisória chamada REDATA, cujo objetivo é atrair data centers ao Brasil com isenção fiscal e pouquíssimas responsabilidades. [ Termina Documentary] [tom baixo ] VOICE OVER: BLOCO 1 – O QUE SÃO DATA CENTERS? YAMA: Pra entender o que são data centers, a gente precisa antes de tudo de entender que a inteligência artificial não é meramente uma nuvem etérea que só existe virtualmente. Foi assim que a gente começou nossa conversa com a pesquisadora estadunidense Tamara Kneese. Ela é diretora do programa de Clima, Tecnologia e Justiça do instituto de pesquisa Data & Society. TAMARA: PT – BR [ Eu acho que o problema da nossa relação com a computação é que a maioria parte do tempo a gente não pensa muito sobre a materialidade dos sistemas informacionais e na cadeia de suprimentos que permitem que eles existam. Tudo que a gente faz online não depende só dos nossos aparelhos, ou dos serviços de nuvem que a gente contrata, mas de uma cadeia muito maior. De onde ver o hardware que a gente usa? Que práticas de trabalho são empregadas nessa cadeia? E então, voltando à cadeia de suprimentos, pensar sobre os materiais brutos e os minerais críticos e outras formas de extração, abusos de direitos humanos e trabalhistas que estão diretamente relacionados à produção dos materiais que precisamos pra computação em geral. ] So I think, you know, the problem with our relationship to computing is that, most of the time, we don’t really think that much about the materiality of the computing system and the larger supply chain. You know, thinking about the fact that, of course, everything we do relies not just on our own device, or the particular cloud services that we subscribe to, but also on a much larger supply chain. So, where does the hardware come from, that we are using, and what kind of labor practices are going into that? And then be, you know, further back in the supply chain, thinking about raw materials and critical minerals and other forms of extraction, and human rights abuses and labor abuses that also go into the production of the raw materials that we need for computing in general. DAMNY: A Tamara já escreveu bastante sobre como a metáfora da nuvem nos engana, porque ela dificulta que a gente enxergue a cadeia completa que envolve o processamento de tantos dados. E isso se tornou uma questão muito maior com a criação dos chatbots e das IAs generativas. YAMA: Se a pandemia já representou uma virada no aumento da necessidade de processamento de dados, quando passamos a ir à escola e ao trabalho pelo computador, o boom das IA generativas criou um aumento sem precedentes da necessidade de expandir essas cadeias. DAMNY: E na ponta da infraestrutura de todas as nuvens estão os data centers. Mais do que gerar enormes impactos sócio-ambientais, eles são as melhores formas de enxergar que o ritmo atual da expansão das IAs não poderá continuar por muito tempo, por limitações físicas. Não há terra nem recursos naturais que deem conta disso. YAMA: A gente conversou com a Cynthia Picolo, que é Diretora Executiva do LAPIN, o Laboratório de Políticas Públicas e Internet. O LAPIN tem atuado muito contra a violação de direitos na implementação de data centers no Brasil e a gente ainda vai conversar mais sobre isso. DAMNY: Uma das coisas que a Cynthia nos ajudou a entender é como não podemos dissociar as IAs dos data centers. CYNTHIA: Existe uma materialidade por trás. Existe uma infraestrutura física, que são os data centers. Então os data centers são essas grandes estruturas que são capazes de armazenar, processar e transferir esses dados, que são os dados que são os processamentos que vão fazer com que a inteligência artificial possa acontecer, possa se desenvolver, então não existe sem o outro. Então falar de IA é falar de Datacenter. Então não tem como desassociar. YAMA: Mas como é um datacenter? A Tamara descreve o que podemos ver em fotos e vídeos na internet. TAMARA: [ Sim, de modo geral, podemos dizer que os data centers são galpões gigantes de chips, servidores, sistemas em redes e quando você olha pra eles, são todos muitos parecidos, prédios quadrados sem nada muito interessante. Talvez você nem saiba que é um data center se não observar as luzes e perceber que é uma estrutura enorme sem pessoas, sem trabalhadores. ] Yeah, so, you know, essentially, they’re like giant warehouses of chips, of servers, of networked systems, and, you know, they look like basically nondescript square buildings, very similar. And you wouldn’t really know that it’s a data center unless you look at the lighting, and you kind of realize that something… like, it’s not inhabited by people or workers, really. DAMNY: No próximo bloco a gente tenta resumir os principais problemas socioambientais que os data centers já causam e irão causar com muita mais intensidade no futuro. [tom baixo ] VOICE OVER: BLOCO 2 – A ENORME LISTA DE PROBLEMAS YAMA: O consumo de energia é provavelmente o problema mais conhecido dos data centers e das IAs. Segundo dados da Agência Internacional de Energia, a IEA, organização internacional da qual o Brasil faz parte, a estimativa para o ano de 2024 é que os data centers consumiram cerca de 415 TWh. A cargo de comparação, segundo a Empresa de Pesquisa Energética, instituto de pesquisa público associado ao Ministério das Minas e Energia, o Brasil consumiu no ano de 2024 cerca de 600 TWh. DAMNY: Segundo o mesmo relatório da Agência Internacional de Energia, a estimativa é que o consumo de energia elétrica por datacenters em 2030 vai ser de pelo menos 945 TWh, o que representaria 3% de todo consumo global projetado. Quando a gente olha pras estimativas de outras fontes, contudo, podemos dizer que essas são projeções até conservadoras. Especialmente considerando o impacto da popularização das chamadas LLM, ou grandes modelos de linguagem – aqueles YAMA: Ou seja, mesmo com projeções conservadoras, os data centers do mundo consumiriam em 2030, daqui a menos de cinco anos, cerca de 50% a mais de energia que o Brasil inteiro consome hoje. Segundo a IEA, em 2030 o consumo global de energia elétrica por data centers deve ser equivalente ao consumo da Índia, o país mais populoso do mundo. E há situações locais ainda mais precárias. DAMNY: É o caso da Irlanda. Segundo reportagem do New York Times publicada em outubro passado, espera-se que o consumo de energia elétrica por data centers por lá represente pelo menos 30% do consumo total do país nos próximos anos. Mas porquê os datacenters consomem tanta energia? TAMARA: [ Então, particularmente com o tipo de IA que as empresas estão investindo agora, há uma necessidade de chips e GPUs muito mais poderosos, de modo que os data centers também são sobre prover energia o suficiente pra todo esse poder computacional que demandam o treinamento e uso de grandes modelos de linguagem. Os data centers são estruturas incrivelmente demandantes de energia e água. A água em geral serve para resfriar os servidores, então tem um número considerável de sistemas de cooling que usam água. Além disso tudo, você também precisa de fontes alternativas de energia, porque algumas vezes, uma infraestrutura tão demandante de energia precisa recorrer a geradores para garantir que o data center continue funcionando caso haja algum problema na rede elétrica. ] So, you know, particularly with the kinds of AI that companies are investing in right now, there’s a need for more powerful chips, GPUs, and so Data centers are also about providing enough energy and computational power for these powerful language models to be trained and then used. And so the data center also, you know, in part because it does require so much energy, and it’s just this incredibly energy-intensive thing, you also need water. And the water comes from having to cool the servers, and so… So there are a number of different cooling systems that use water. And then on top of that, you also need backup energy sources, so sometimes, because there’s such a draw on the power grid, you have to have backup generators to make sure that the data center can keep going if something happens with the grid. YAMA: E aqui a gente começa a entender o tamanho do problema. Os data centers são muitas vezes construídos em lugares que já sofrem com infraestruturas precárias de eletricidade e com a falta de água potável. Então eles criam problemas de escassez onde não havia e aprofundam essa escassez em locais onde isso já era uma grande questão – como a região metropolitana de Fortaleza sobre a qual falaremos no próximo episódio, que está em vias de receber um enorme data center do Tiktok. DAMNY: É o que também relatam os moradores de Querétaro, no México, que vivem na região dos data centers da Microsoft. A operação dos data centers da Microsoft gerou uma crise sem precedentes, com quedas frequentes de energia e o interrompimento do abastecimento de água que muitas vezes duram semanas. Os data-centers impactaram de tal forma as comunidades que escolas cancelaram aulas e, indiretamente, foram responsáveis por uma crise de gastroenterite entre crianças. YAMA: E isso nos leva pro segundo ponto. O consumo de água, minerais críticos e outros recursos naturais. TAMARA: [O problema da energia tem recebido mais atenção, porque é uma fonte de ansiedade também. Pensar sobre o aumento da demanda de energia em tempos em que supostamente estaríamos transicionando para deixar de usar energias fósseis, o que obviamente pode ter efeitos devastadores. Mas eu acredito que num nível mais local, o consumo de água é mais relevante. Nós temos grandes empresas indo às áreas rurais do México, por exemplo, e usando toda a água disponível e basicamente deixando as pessoas sem água. E isso é incrivelmente problemático. Então isso acontece em áreas que já tem problemas de abastecimento de água, onde as pessoas já não tem muito poder de negociação com as empresas. Não têm poder político pra isso. São lugares tratados como zonas de sacrifício, algo que já vimos muitas vezes no mundo, especialmente em territórios indígenas. Então as consequências são na verdade muito maiores do que só problemas relacionados à energia. ] I think the energy problem has probably gotten the most attention, just because it is a source of anxiety, too, so thinking about, you know, energy demand at a time when we’re supposed to be transitioning away from fossil fuels. And clearly, the effects that that can have will be devastating. But I think on a local level, things like the water consumption can matter more. So, you know, if we have tech companies moving into rural areas in Mexico and, you know, using up all of their water and basically preventing people in the town from having access to water. That is incredibly problematic. So I think, you know, in water-stressed areas and areas where the people living in a place don’t have as much negotiating power with the company. Don’t have as much political power, and especially if places are basically already treated as sacrifice zones, which we’ve seen repeatedly many places in the world, with Indigenous land in particular, you know, I think the consequences may go far beyond just thinking about, you know, the immediate kind of energy-related problems. YAMA: Existem pelo menos quatro fins que tornam os data centers máquinas de consumir água. O mais direto e local é a água utilizada na refrigeração de todo equipamento que ganha temperatura nas atividades de computação, o processo conhecido como cooling. Essa prática frequentemente utiliza água potável. Apesar de já ser extremamente relevante do ponto de vista de consumo, essa é apenas uma das formas de consumo abundante de água. DAMNY: Indiretamente, os data centers também consomem a água relacionada ao seu alto consumo de energia, em especial na geração de energia elétrica em usinas hidrelétricas e termelétricas. Também atrelada ao consumo energético, está o uso nas estações de tratamento de água, que visam tratar a água com resíduos gerada pelo data center para tentar reduzir a quantidade de água limpa utilizada. YAMA: Por fim, a cadeia de suprimentos de chips e servidores que compõem os data centers requer água ultrapura e gera resíduos químicos. Ainda que se saiba que esse fator gera gastos de água e emissões de carbono relevantes, os dados são super obscuros, entre outros motivos, porque a maioria dos dados que temos sobre o consumo de água em data centers são fornecidos pelas próprias empresas. CYNTHIA: A água e os minérios são componentes também basilares para as estruturas de datacenter, que são basilares para o funcionamento da inteligência artificial. (…). E tem toda uma questão, como eu disse muitas vezes, captura um volume gigante de água doce. E essa água que é retornada para o ecossistema, muitas vezes não é compensada da água que foi capturada. Só que as empresas também têm uma promessa em alguns relatórios, você vai ver que elas têm uma promessa até de chegar em algum ponto para devolver cento e vinte por cento da água. Então a empresa está se comprometendo a devolver mais água do que ela capturou. Só que a realidade é o quê? É outra. Então, a Google, por exemplo, nos últimos cinco anos, reportou um aumento de cento e setenta e sete por cento do uso de água. A Microsoft mais trinta e oito e a Amazon sequer reporta o volume de consumo de água. Então uma lacuna tremenda para uma empresa desse porte, considerando todo o setor de Data centers. Mas tem toda essa questão da água, que é muito preocupante, não só por capturar e o tratamento dela e como ela volta para o meio ambiente, mas porque há essa disputa também com territórios que têm uma subsistência muito específica de recursos naturais, então existe uma disputa aí por esse recurso natural entre comunidade e empreendimento. DAMNY: Nessa fala da Cynthia a gente observa duas coisas importantes: a primeira é que não existe data center sem água para resfriamento, de modo que o impacto local da instalação de um empreendimento desses é uma certeza irrefutável. E é um dano contínuo. Enquanto ele estiver em operação ele precisará da água. É como se uma cidade de grande porte chegasse de repente, demandando uma quantidade de água e energia que o local simplesmente não tem para oferecer. E na hora de escolher entre as pessoas e empreendimentos multimilionários, adivinha quem fica sem água e com a energia mais cara? YAMA: A segunda coisa importante que a Cynthia fala é quando ela nos chama a atenção sobre a demanda por recursos naturais. Nós sabemos que recursos naturais são escassos. Mais do que isso, recursos naturais advindos da mineração têm a sua própria forma de impactos sociais e ambientais, o que vemos frequentemente na Amazônia brasileira. O que acontecerá com os data centers quando os recursos naturais locais já não forem suficientes para seu melhor funcionamento? Diante de uma computação que passa por constante renovação pela velocidade da obsolescência, o que acontece com o grande volume de lixo eletrônico gerado por data centers? Perguntas que não têm resposta. DAMNY: A crise geopolítica em torno dos minerais conhecidos como terra-rara mostra a complexidade política e ambiental do futuro das IA do ponto de vista material e das suas cadeias de suprimento. No estudo feito pelo LAPIN, a Cynthia nos disse que considera que esse ponto do aumento da demanda por minerais críticos que as IA causam é um dos pontos mais opacos nas comunicações das grandes empresas de tecnologia sobre o impacto de seus data centers. CYNTHIA: E outro ponto de muita, muita lacuna, que eu acho que do nosso mapeamento, desses termos mais de recursos naturais. A cadeia de extração mineral foi o que mais foi opaco, porque, basicamente, as empresas não reportam nada sobre essa extração mineral e é muito crítico, porque a gente sabe que muitos minérios vêm também de zonas de conflito. Então as grandes empresas, pelo menos as três que a gente mapeou, elas têm ali um trechinho sobre uma prestação de contas da cadeia mineral. Tudo que elas fazem é falar que elas seguem um framework específico da OCDE sobre responsabilização. YAMA: Quando as empresas falam de usar energias limpas e de reciclar a água utilizada, eles estão se desvencilhando das responsabilidades sobre seus datacenters. Energia limpa não quer dizer ausência de impacto ambiental. Pras grandes empresas, as fontes de energia limpa servem para gerar excedente e não para substituir de fato energias fósseis. Você pode ter um data center usando majoritariamente energia solar no futuro, mas isso não muda o fato de que ele precisa funcionar 24/7 e as baterias e os geradores a diesel estarão sempre lá. Além disso, usinas de reciclagem de água, fazendas de energia solar e usinas eólicas também têm impactos socioambientais importantes. O uso de recursos verdes complexifica o problema de identificar os impactos locais e responsabilidades dos data centers, mas não resolve de nenhuma forma os problemas de infraestrutura e de fornecimento de água e energia causados pelos empreendimentos. DAMNY: É por isso que a gente alerta pra não comprar tão facilmente a história de que cada pergunta pro chatGPT gasta x litros de água. Se você não perguntar nada pro chatGPT hoje, ou se fizer 1000 perguntas, não vai mudar em absolutamente nada o alto consumo de água e os impactos locais destrutivos dos data centers que estão sendo instalados a todo vapor em toda a América Latina. A quantidade de dados e de computação que uma big tech usa para treinar seus modelos, por exemplo, jamais poderá ser equiparada ao consumo individual de chatbots. É como comparar as campanhas que te pedem pra fechar a torneira ao escovar os dentes, enquanto o agro gasta em minutos água que você não vai gastar na sua vida inteira. Em resumo, empresas como Google, Microsoft, Meta e Amazon só se responsabilizam pelos impactos diretamente causados por seus data centers e, mesmo assim, é uma responsabilização muito entre aspas, à base de greenwashing. Você já ouviu falar de greenwashing? CYNTHIA: Essa expressão em inglês nada mais é do que a tradução literal, que é o discurso verde. (…)É justamente o que a gente está conversando. É justamente quando uma empresa finge se preocupar com o meio ambiente para parecer sustentável, mas, na prática, as ações delas não trazem esses benefícios reais e, pelo contrário, às vezes trazem até danos para o meio ambiente. Então, na verdade, é uma forma até de manipular, ou até mesmo enganar as pessoas, os usuários daqueles sistemas ou serviços com discursos e campanhas com esses selos verdes, mas sem comprovar na prática. YAMA: Nesse contexto, se torna primordial que a gente tenha mais consciência de toda a infraestrutura material que está por trás da inteligência artificial. Como nos resumiu bem a Tamara: TAMARA: [ Eu acredito que ter noção da infraestrutura completa que envolve a cadeia da IA realmente ajuda a entender a situação. Mesmo que você esteja usando, supostamente, energia renovável para construir e operar um data center, você ainda vai precisar de muitos outros materiais, chips, minerais e outras coisas com suas próprias cadeias de suprimento. Ou seja, independente da forma de energia utilizada, você ainda vai causar dano às comunidades e destruição ambiental. ] But that… I think that is why having a sense of the entire AI supply chain is really helpful, just in terms of thinking about, you know, even if you’re, in theory, using renewable energy to build a data center, you still are relying on a lot of other materials, including chips, including minerals, and other things that. (…) We’re still, you know, possibly going to be harming communities and causing environmental disruption. [ tom baixo ] YAMA: Antes de a gente seguir pro último bloco, eu queria só dizer que a entrevista completa com a Dra. Tamara Kneese foi bem mais longa e publicada na íntegra no blog do GEICT. O link para a entrevista tá na descrição do episódio, mas se você preferir pode ir direto no bloco do GEICT. [ tom baixo ] VOICE OVER: BLOCO 3 – PROBLEMAS GLOBAIS, PROBLEMAS LOCAIS YAMA: Mesmo conhecendo as cadeias, as estratégias de greenwashing trazem um grande problema à tona, que é uma espécie de terceirização das responsabilidades. As empresas trazem medidas compensatórias que não diminuem em nada o impacto local dos seus data centers. Então tem uma classe de impactos que são globais, como as emissões de carbono e o aumento da demanda por minerais críticos, por exemplo. E globais no sentido de que eles são parte relevante dos impactos dos data centers, mas não estão impactando exatamente nos locais onde foram construídos. CYNTHIA: Google, por exemplo, nesse recorte que a gente fez da pesquisa dos últimos cinco anos, ela simplesmente reportou um aumento de emissão de carbono em setenta e três por cento. Não é pouca coisa. A Microsoft aumentou no escopo dois, que são as emissões indiretas, muito por conta de data centers, porque tem uma diferenciação por escopo, quando a gente fala de emissão de gases, a Microsoft, nesse período de cinco anos, ela quadruplicou o tanto que ela tem emitido. A Amazon aumentou mais de trinta por cento. Então a prática está mostrando que essas promessas estão muito longe de serem atingidas. Só que aí entra um contexto mais de narrativa. Por que elas têm falado e prometido a neutralidade de carbono? Porque há um mecanismo de compensação. (…) Então elas falam que estão correndo, correndo para atingir essa meta de neutralidade de carbono, mas muito por conta dos instrumentos de compensação, compensação ou de crédito de carbono ou, enfim, para uso de energias renováveis. Então se compra esse certificado, se fazem esses contratos, mas, na verdade, não está tendo uma redução de emissão. Está tendo uma compensação. (…) Essa compensação é um mecanismo financeiro, no final do dia. Porque, quando você, enquanto empresa, trabalha na compensação dos seus impactos ambientais e instrumentos contratuais, você está ignorando o impacto local. Então, se eu estou emitindo impactando aqui o Brasil, e estou comprando crédito de carbono em projetos em outra área, o impacto local do meu empreendimento está sendo ignorado. YAMA: E os impactos materiais locais continuam extremamente relevantes. Além do impacto nas infraestruturas locais de energia e de água sobre as quais a gente já falou, há muitas reclamações sobre a poluição do ar gerada pelos geradores, as luzes que nunca desligam e até mesmo a poluição sonora. A Tamara nos contou de um caso curioso de um surto de distúrbios de sono e de enxaqueca que tomou regiões de data centers nos Estados Unidos. TAMARA: [ Uma outra coisa que vale ser lembrada: as pessoas que vivem perto dos data centers tem nos contado que eles são super barulhentos, eles também relatam a poluição visual causada pelas luzes e a poluição sonora. Foi interessante ouvir de comunidades próximas a data centers de mineração de criptomoedas, por exemplo, que os moradores começaram a ter enxaquecas e distúrbios de sono por viverem próximos das instalações. E além de tudo isso, ainda tem a questão da poluição do ar, que é visível a olho nu. Há muitas partículas no ar onde há geradores movidos a diesel para garantir que a energia esteja sempre disponível. ] And the other thing is, you know, for people who live near them, they’re very loud, and so if you talk to people who live near data centers, they will talk about the light pollution, the noise pollution. And it’s been interesting, too, to hear from communities that are near crypto mining facilities, because they will complain of things like migraine headaches and sleep deprivation from living near the facilities. And, you know, the other thing is that the air pollution is quite noticeable. So there’s a lot of particulate matter, particularly in the case of using diesel-fueled backup generators as an energy stopgap. DAMNY: E do ponto de vista dos impactos locais, há um fator importantíssimo que não pode ser esquecido: território. Data centers podem ser gigantes, mas ocupam muito mais espaço que meramente seus prédios, porque sua cadeia de suprimentos demanda isso. Como a água e a energia chegarão até os prédios? Mesmo que sejam usados fontes renováveis de energia, onde serão instaladas as fazendas de energia solar ou as usinas de energia eólica e de tratamento de água? Onde a água contaminada e/ou tratada será descartada? Quem vai fiscalizar? YAMA: E essa demanda sem fim por território esbarra justamente nas questões de racismo ambiental. Porque os territórios que são sacrificados para que os empreendimentos possam funcionar, muito frequentemente, são onde vivem povos originários e populações marginalizadas. Aqui percebemos que a resistência local contra a instalação de data centers é, antes de qualquer coisa, uma questão de justiça ambiental. É o caso de South Memphis nos Estados Unidos, por exemplo. TAMARA: [ Pensando particularmente sobre os tipos de danos causados pelos data centers, não é somente a questão da conta de energia ficar mais cara, ou quantificar a quantidade de energia e água gasta por data centers específicos. A verdadeira questão, na minha opinião, é a relação que existe entre esses danos socioambientais, danos algorítmicos e o racismo ambiental e outras formas de impacto às comunidades que lidam com isso a nível local. Especialmente nos Estados Unidos, com todo esse histórico de supremacia branca e a falta de direitos civis, não é coincidência que locais onde estão comunidades negras, por exemplo, sejam escolhidos como zonas de sacrifício. As comunidades negras foram historicamente preferenciais para todo tipo de empreendimento que demanda sacrificar território, como estradas interestaduais, galpões da Amazon… quer dizer, os data centers são apenas a continuação dessa política histórica de racismo ambiental. E tudo isso se soma aos péssimos acordos feitos a nível local, onde um prefeito e outras lideranças governamentais pensam que estão recebendo algo de grande valor econômico. Em South Memphis, por exemplo, o data center é da xAI. Então você para pra refletir como essa plataforma incrivelmente racista ainda tem a audácia de poluir terras de comunidades negras ainda mais ] I think, the way of framing particular kinds of harm, so, you know, it’s not just about, you know, people’s energy bills going up, or, thinking about how we quantify the energy use or the water use of particular data centers, but really thinking about the relationship between a lot of those social harms and algorithmic harms and the environmental racism and other forms of embodied harms that communities are dealing with on that hyper-local level. And, you know, in this country, with its history of white supremacy and just general lack of civil rights, you know, a lot of the places where Black communities have traditionally been, tend to be, you know, the ones sacrificed for various types of development, like, you know, putting up interstates, putting up warehouses for Amazon and data centers are just a continuation of the what was already happening. And then you have a lot of crooked deals on the local level, where, you know, maybe a mayor and other local officials think that they’re getting something economically of value. In South Memphis, the data center is connected to x AI. And so thinking about this platform that is so racist and so incredibly harmful to Black communities, you know, anyway, and then has the audacity to actually pollute their land even more. DAMNY: Entrando na questão do racismo ambiental a gente se encaminha para o nosso segundo episódio, onde vamos tentar entender como o Brasil se insere na questão dos data centers e como diferentes setores da população estão se organizando para resistir. Antes de encerrar esse episódio, contudo, a gente traz brevemente pra conversa dois personagens que vão ser centrais no próximo episódio. YAMA: Eles nos ajudam a compreender como precisamos considerar a questão dos territórios ao avaliar os impactos. Uma dessas pessoas é a Andrea Camurça, do Instituto Terramar, que está lutando junto ao povo Anacé pelo direito de serem consultados sobre a construção de um data center do TIKTOK em seus territórios. Eu trago agora um trechinho dela falando sobre como mesmo medidas supostamente renováveis se tornam violações territoriais num contexto de racismo ambiental. ANDREA: A gente recebeu notícias agora, recentemente, inclusive ontem, que está previsto um mega empreendimento solar que vai ocupar isso mais para a região do Jaguaribe, que vai ocupar, em média, de equivalente a seiscentos campos de futebol. Então, o que isso representa é a perda de terra. É a perda de água. É a perda do território. É uma diversidade de danos aos povos e comunidades tradicionais que não são reconhecidos, são invisibilizados. Então é vendido como território sem gente, sendo que essas energias chegam dessa forma. Então, assim a gente precisa discutir sobre energias renováveis. A gente precisa discutir sobre soberania energética. A gente precisa discutir sobre soberania digital, sim, mas construída a partir da necessidade do local da soberania dessas populações. DAMNY: A outra pessoa que eu mencionei é uma liderança Indígena, o cacique Roberto Anacé. Fazendo uma ótima conexão que nos ajuda a perceber como os impactos globais e locais dos data centers estão conectados, ele observa como parecemos entrar num novo momento do colonialismo, onde a soberania digital e ambiental do Brasil volta a estar em risco, indo de encontro à violação de terras indígenas. CACIQUE ROBERTO: Há um risco para a questão da biodiversidade, da própria natureza da retirada da água, do aumento de energia, mas também não somente para o território da Serra, mas para todos que fazem uso dos dados. Ou quem expõe esses dados. Ninguém sabe da mão de quem vai ficar, quem vai controlar quem vai ordenar? E para que querem essa colonização? Eu chamo assim que é a forma que a gente tem essa colonização de dados. Acredito eu que a invasão do Brasil em mil e quinhentos foi de uma forma. Agora nós temos a invasão de nossas vidas, não somente para os indígenas, mas de todos, muitas vezes que fala muito bem, mas não sabe o que vai acontecer depois que esses dados estão guardados. Depois que esses dados vão ser utilizados, para que vão ser utilizados, então esses agravos. Ele é para além do território indígena na série.

Our fifth and final Yama jewel, Aparigraha, encourages us to embrace non-possessiveness. What do you covet? What do you cling to? Consider what in your life reflects your values and priorities. This month's Yama invites us to examine the physical possessions we surround ourselves with. Do these items make you feel free and light, or do they weigh you down and create a sense of heaviness?Aparigraha serves as a reminder that breathwork is a perfect example of non-possessiveness. The simple act of inhaling and exhaling teaches us about embracing the fullness of life without the need to cling to it. Instead of holding onto our breath, we allow it to flow, experiencing release and relaxation.This time of year often brings many obligations and expectations. Aparigraha urges us to be gentle with ourselves and with others. When we extend unconditional love, we model non-possessiveness and promote acceptance and forgiveness. What a beautiful way to end the year!Show Notes:The Yamas and Niyamas: Exploring The Ethical Practice of Yoga by Deborah Adele

November is often a time for giving thanks, and the 4th Yama, Brahmacharya, encourages us to be grateful for having “just enough,” and to practice “nonexcess.” We live in a world that can rob us of our time, money, and energy while we pursue better and newer and more. Brahmacharya asks us to examine our priorities and to focus on what really matters.Are we living in communion with God? Are we sacrificing our precious time and energy in pursuit of worldly excess? Do we recognize when we have “just enough” and refrain from overindulgence?Brahmacharya seems like the perfect Yama to practice in November. Let's practice nonexcess in our daily lives. Let's practice gratitude for all that we have rather than focusing on our have-nots. Let's strive to see the divine in all people and moments. Let's do more with less.Show Notes:Denise's meditation at the end of the episode:May you rest in the space of ‘good enough.' You are good. You are enough. You are sufficient in this moment, just as you are. You deserve goodness and kindness and hope and help.” ‘Head to the floor, I breathe in and out, thankful for my breath and my body and gravity. Earth herself. Through this, I reveal the blessings. There are always some, sometimes many! Each day a new world to make what is possible real and fully embodied. I awaken awareness of my own influence to create kindness, depth, and love in every moment.”  “Grant me daily the grace of gratitude. To be thankful for all my many gifts, and so be freed from artificial needs, that I might lead a joyful, simple life.” Edward Hays, OSBThe Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice by Deborah Adele

pWotD Episode 3093: Diwali Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 407,031 views on Monday, 20 October 2025 our article of the day is Diwali.Dipavali (IAST: Dīpāvalī), commonly known as Diwali (English: ), is the Hindu festival of lights, with variations celebrated in other Indian religions such as Jainism and Sikhism. It symbolises the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kārtika – between around mid-September and mid-November. The celebrations generally last five or six days.Diwali is connected to various religious events, deities and personalities, such as being the day Rama returned to his kingdom in Ayodhya with his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana after defeating the demon king Ravana. It is also widely associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and Ganesha, the god of wisdom and the remover of obstacles. Other regional traditions connect the holiday to Vishnu, Krishna, Durga, Shiva, Kali, Hanuman, Kubera, Yama, Yami, Dhanvantari, or Vishvakarman.Primarily a Hindu festival, variations of Diwali are also celebrated by adherents of other faiths. The Jains observe their own Diwali which marks the final liberation of Mahavira. The Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas to mark the release of Guru Hargobind from a Mughal prison. Newar Buddhists, unlike other Buddhists, celebrate Diwali by worshipping Lakshmi, while the Hindus of Eastern India and Bangladesh generally, celebrate Diwali by worshipping the goddess Kali.During the festival, the celebrants illuminate their homes, temples and workspaces with diyas (oil lamps), candles and lanterns. Hindus, in particular, have a ritual oil bath at dawn on each day of the festival. Diwali is also marked with fireworks as well as the decoration of floors with rangoli designs and other parts of the house with jhalars. Food is a major focus with families partaking in feasts and sharing mithai. The festival is an annual homecoming and bonding period not only for families, but also for communities and associations, particularly those in urban areas, which will organise activities, events, and gatherings. Many towns organise community parades and fairs with parades or music and dance performances in parks. Some Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs will send Diwali greeting cards to family near and far during the festive season, occasionally with boxes of Indian confectionery. Another aspect of the festival is remembering the ancestors.Diwali is also a major cultural event for the Hindu, Sikh, and Jain diaspora. The main day of the festival of Diwali (the day of Lakshmi Puja) is an official holiday in Fiji, Guyana, India, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago, and is symbolically recognized by some US state governments.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:24 UTC on Tuesday, 21 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Diwali on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Brian.

Have you ever been accused of stealing? Probably not. Yet, most of us engage in various forms of stealing every day, often without realizing it. There are many ways in which we take from others, the Earth, future generations, and even ourselves.The third Yama, Asteya, encourages us to become aware of how our words and actions may rob others of their time, joy, or sense of self-worth. It reminds us that the Earth deserves our attention and appreciation now so that future generations can also experience its wonders. Lastly, we are prompted to consider how we steal from ourselves. We often forget that “comparison is the thief of joy,” yet we regularly diminish our own happiness by comparing or criticizing ourselves. As Oprah wisely said, “When we know better, we do better.” This embodies the essence of Asteya.Show notes:The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice by Deborah Adele

    WakatSéra au Burkina Faso a fait les comptes… « Au Gabon, après avoir été mis hors course pour la présidentielle d'avril dernier, le leader syndicaliste Jean-Rémy Yama, vient d'être écarté de la course aux élections législatives et locales prévues le 27 septembre. En Guinée, les leaders politiques les plus en vue sont contraints à l'exil et leurs partis politiques suspendus, pendant que les cadres de la société civile disparaissent sans laisser de trace, dès qu'ils osent contredire le prince. Au Tchad, Mahamat Idriss Deby, après avoir utilisé avec succès, Succès Masra, son opposant le plus virulent, pour apporter une onction démocratique à son élection, s'en est débarrassé, par justice interposée. Au Cameroun, Me Maurice Kamto, a subi le même sort des opposants éternels, évincé de la route de l'inamovible président de la République, Paul Biya, 92 ans, dont presque 43 passés aux affaires ». Enfin, affirme encore WakatSéra, « en Côte d'Ivoire, le modus operandi est le même ». Côte d'Ivoire : de 60 à… 5 candidats La Côte d'Ivoire où sur 60 prétendants à la candidature à la présidentielle, le Conseil constitutionnel n'en a retenu que 5… Et parmi les 5, le sortant, Alassane Ouattara. Et Jeune Afrique de s'exclamer : « qui peut encore arrêter le rouleau compresseur RHDP (le parti présidentiel) ? » Alassane Ouattara, au pouvoir depuis 2011 et candidat à un quatrième mandat, reste le « grand favori ». « Alassane Ouattara en position de force après l'exclusion définitive de ses principaux rivaux », renchérit Le Monde Afrique. « À un mois et demi de l'élection présidentielle en Côte d'Ivoire, le scrutin semble joué d'avance. Les candidatures de ses deux principaux opposants, l'ancien chef de l'État Laurent Gbagbo, et l'ex-directeur général du Credit suisse, Tidjane Thiam, du PDCI, réunis depuis juin dans un "front commun" pour demander une alternance politique, ont été rejetées. Quatre autres opposants pourront bien se lancer dans la campagne électorale, mais leur poids et leur capacité à rassembler sont moindres ». Commentaire du politologue béninois Gilles Yabi, cité par Le Monde Afrique : « tous quatre représentent des tendances politiques différentes et il serait étonnant de les voir présenter d'emblée un front uni. (…) On peut penser que le pouvoir en place fait tout pour l'emporter dès le premier tour ». Un tout autre visage… Le site panafricain Afrik.com hausse le ton : « en 2020, Alassane Ouattara avait annoncé avec emphase son intention de passer la main à une nouvelle génération. Cet engagement, salué à l'époque comme un signe d'apaisement et de maturité politique, avait laissé espérer l'émergence d'un nouveau souffle démocratique, loin des figures historiques aux parcours controversés. Cinq ans plus tard, à l'approche de la présidentielle du 25 octobre, le paysage politique ivoirien nous renvoie un tout autre visage, soupire Afrik.com : celui d'un pouvoir verrouillé, d'une démocratie confisquée, et d'un Président sortant prêt à braver toutes les limites pour s'accrocher à son fauteuil ». Démocratie de façade ? Enfin, Ledjely en Guinée ne mâche pas ses mots également : « dans l'opinion publique africaine, cette quatrième candidature d'Alassane Ouattara et l'exclusion de ses principaux adversaires passent mal. On y voit l'illustration de ces "démocraties de façade" qui pullulent sur le continent, dénonce Ledjely : des régimes où les scrutins ne servent qu'à donner un vernis légal à des pouvoirs déjà verrouillés. La négation du pluralisme politique, l'inféodation des institutions, l'instrumentalisation de la justice, la confiscation du suffrage et la privatisation des ressources publiques sont pourtant autant de facteurs qui ont déjà conduit le Mali, le Burkina Faso et le Niger dans l'abîme. On aurait pu croire que la Côte d'Ivoire, marquée par de douloureuses crises, s'en inspirerait pour tracer une autre voie. Mais visiblement, Alassane Ouattara préfère miser sur le court terme plutôt que sur un héritage politique durable ». Voilà, on aura noté que Ledjely, site d'information guinéen, se garde bien de commenter directement le verrouillage politique que subit également la Guinée…

In this exclusive podcast, rapper Nasty dives deep into the realities of the hip hop industry, sharing insights on writing, consistency, and chasing virality.

This week, a Tennessee DJ takes us on a tour of Appalachian punk and metal.Also, Appalachian culture is enriched by its immigrants. We explore the fusion of West Virginia and Japan. And Appalachia isn't all punk rock and Japanese food. There's also string band music.

In this timeless tale from the Katha Upanishad, a wise soul, Nachiketa, meets Yama—the Lord of Death—and asks the ultimate question: What survives when all else fades?Through deep inquiry, courage, and stillness, Nachiketa uncovers the nature of the true Self—birthless, deathless, and eternal. Anand Ji guides us through this sacred dialogue, revealing how the fire of longing (mumukshutva) and the path of wisdom (shreya) lead to inner freedom.Let this story awaken something eternal within you.For more meditative wisdom, knowledge and integrative teachings visit : www.instagram.com/theanandmehrotra/www.sattvaconnect.com sattvayogaacademy.com#Liberation #storytelling #YogVedantic #AnandMehrotra #meditation #self-realisation #awakening #wisdom #consciousness #growth #unity #sattvayogaacademy #sattvaconnect #knowledge #yoga  

A story of luck, pride, divine wagers, and cosmic journeysIn ancient India, there lived a man whose life revolved around a single game—Judo, the game of dice. So skilled was he that no opponent could match him, and he earned his living defeating anyone who dared to challenge him. But when all humans refused to play, he turned to the gods themselves.In a bold twist of fate, he played against Lord Shiva in a temple, declaring himself the victor and claiming the goddess as his prize. This act set off a chain of extraordinary events. Gifted with a celestial wife—an Apsara from the heavens—his adventures spiral from divine dance halls to fierce battles with Kinnaras, from heavenly courts to the very kingdom of Yama, Lord of Death.From gambler to guest in heaven, from lover to judge of souls—this is the story of a man who dared to roll the dice with destiny.

This week we are rounding up the teachings on NVC (Non-Violent Communication), comparing it to the Yamas and Niyamas in Yoga. The first two limbs of Yoga, the Yamas and Niyamas, describe what we need to abstain from (Yama) and cultivate (Niyama) in order to have a better experience in life. Today I offer a list of the "Niyamas "of NVC, things we want to cultivate in our relationships for better relating. As a reminder the Yogic Niyamas are as follows:1. Saucha (Purity)2. Santosha (Contentment)3. Tapah (Purification practices)4. Svadhyaya (Study of Spiritual texts)5. Isvarapranidhani (Respect for Higher Power and Surrender of small self/ego)Here is the list of NVC ways of relating want to practice:1. Communicate your needs and feelings2. Take responsibility for your feelings3. Get your basic needs met4. Make clear requests5. Practice empathy by holding space non-judgmentally6. Invite in play everyday7. Express healthy anger (and release unhealthy anger in a healthy way)Using the tools in the past two episodes can transform your relationship life.

Won't you strike up a deal with the devil? Join your two favoreite podcast hosts this week as they dive feet first into Hell (or more accurately, the Chasm of Fire) and discuss all this Yama in this week's episode. Community Question: What new mechanics would you like to see introduced in the Yama contracts?

We've talked about what the eight limbs of yoga are and where they came from (if you missed that episode just scroll a few back) but what is each limb's practical, energetic, and spiritual significance in modern life? From the ethical and personal observances of Yama and Niyama, respectively, to the physical aspects of Asana, the breath control of Pranayama, and the mental focus of Dharana. And of course how it all culminates in the exploration of Dhyana and Samadhi. The Eight Limbs are here to help you cut through the noise and come back to what really matters, this episode will explain how. Listen and learn:

Brahmacharya is one of the Yamas, ethical guidelines in Yoga philosophy. This includes managing your energy in terms of speech, consumption, activity, and thoughts. The goal is to avoid excess and depletion, fostering a balanced and intentional way of living. Brahmacharya is about self-mastery, not suppression. Be guided using an affirmation to experience inner wholeness.

In this episode we answer emails from El Yama, Graham, and James.  We discuss using risk parity-style portfolios for intermediate term needs, the short-term bond allocation in the Golden Butterfly, accounting for child credit, rising equity glidepaths, the fundamental differences between 100% stock portfolios and diversified portfolios and why you want the latter for retirement unless your goal is to die with the most money, and a CAPE ratio critique from Meb Faber's podcast.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional links:Kitces Article re Rising Glidepaths:  The Benefits Of A Rising Equity Glidepath In RetirementKitces/Pfau Paper re Rising Glidepaths:  Reducing Retirement Risk with a Rising Equity Glide-Path by Wade D. Pfau, Michael Kitces :: SSRNMeb Faber Podcast with Brian Jacobs discussing problems with CAPE ratio predictions:  A Century of No Return! The Truth About The Beloved Bonds (Brian Jacobs of Aptus Reveals)Breathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds," begins this thought-provoking exploration of why most investors are trapped in accumulation-phase thinking even as they approach or enter retirement. The question at the heart of this episode strikes at a surprising disconnect in personal finance: Why do so many investors intellectually understand they're investing to enjoy retirement, yet construct portfolios clearly designed to maximize wealth at death? Through a series of illuminating listener emails, Frank unpacks how portfolios optimized for accumulation often fail spectacularly during the decumulation phase. One listener confesses he "always wondered why anyone would buy bonds when clearly stocks give a far greater return," before discovering through portfolio testing that a 100% equity portfolio would have "failed catastrophically" for someone retiring around 2000-2003.This recognition—that diversification isn't about maximizing returns but enabling sustainable withdrawals—represents the fundamental insight many investors miss until too late. As Frank colorfully puts it, if your goal is to "die with the most money possible" in your "golden coffin," then by all means stick with 90-100% equities. But if you actually intend to enjoy your retirement by spending more than 3% of your portfolio annually, a properly diversified approach becomes essential.The episode also addresses why attempts to use valuation metrics like CAPE ratios to predict market movements have largely failed, and why separating your portfolio into growth and value components offers a more reliable approach to capturing rebalancing bonuses without attempting market timing.Make sure your investment behavior actually matches your stated goals. If you're planning to spend in retirement, construct a portfolio that optimizes for sustainable withdrawals, not maximum theoretical returns.Support the show

Au Gabon, la présidentielle du 12 avril se jouera finalement entre huit candidats. Les quatre retenus par le ministère de l'Intérieur dont le général Oligui Nguema et l'ex-Premier ministre Alain Claude Billie-By-Nze et les quatre validés par la Cour constitutionnelle dont Zenaba Gninga Chaning, la seule femme en lice. En revanche, l'ancien leader syndicaliste Jean-Rémy Yama qui se présente comme le candidat «anti-système» a été recalé. Que vous inspire l'affiche du scrutin ? 

After our lecture on The 12 Secret Kālīs | & The Most Closely Guarded Secret in Tantra where we introduced the powers of non-dual consciousness which flow in a 12-step sequence (which we argued was one of the subtlest teachings of Tantrik non-duality if not THE subtlest teachings), many were asking: "how do we invoke the 12 Kālīs, worship them, relate to them and incorporate them into our day-to-day sādhanā?" In this talk, we introduce one of the two Krama Stotrams and introduce Abhinava Gupta's "wheel of fire meditation" from Tantrasāra Chapter 4, which he received from his Krama guru, Bhūtirāja. The 12 KalisPrameyam (aparā): KNOWN OBJECTSṛṣṭikālī = manifesting an object internally, she then Raktakālī (bahirmkuhī) = becomes passionate towards that object Sthitināśakālī = wishes to reabsorb it and starts to internalize it Yamakālī = manifests and dissolves a "vighna" (obstacle) to re-absorption Pramānā (parāpara): ACT OF KNOWING Saṃhārakālī = reabsorbs the object Mṛtyukālī = and contemplates "svabhava": my very nature is to reabsorb! (i.e savors the experience just had) Rudrakālī = perceives a subtle impression left over from perception + also Pure Consciousness and then devours the subtle impressionMārtaṇḍakālī = reabsorbs the solar-mandala of 12 faculties into the "Lord of the Circle" (ego) Pramātr (parā): KNOWER Paramārkakālī = reabsorbs the Lord of the Circle (ego) Kālāgnirudrakālī = reabsorbs the separation of one purusha (individual knowing subject) from another (mayīya-mala) Mahākālakālī = reabsorbs the Universal Subject (Shiva) into full expansion Mahābhairavacaṇḍograghorakālī = reabsorbs even that fully expanded ground into...what? void unspeakable! (or rather: articulates transcendence as immanence!) Here are just the first 5 verses of the Krama Stotram:Kaulārṇavānanda-ghanormi-rūpām unmeṣa-meṣobhaya-bhājam antaḥ |nilīyate nīla-kulālaye yā tāṃ ṣṛṣtikālīṃ satataṃ namāmi || 1 ||I always praise that Kālī of Emission, who blooms and recedes like a wave of bliss in the ocean of the Kaula! mahā-vinodārpita-mātṛ-cakra- vīrendrakā-sṛg-rasa-pāna-saktām |raktīkṛtāṃ ca pralayātyaye tāṃ  namāmi viśvākṛti-rakta-kālīm || 2 ||I always praise that Passionate Kālī who manifests this world and who savours the world during a pause in dissolution, she who happily drinks the nectarean blood offered to the circle of Mothers by heroes (Tantrik adepts)! vāji-dvaya-svīkṛta-vāta-cakra- prakrānta-saṅghaṭṭa-gamāgama-sthām |śucir yayāstaṃ gamitorciṣā tāṃ  śāntāṃ namāmi sthiti-nāśa-kālīm || 3 ||I salute that peaceful one, The Kali Who Destroys Stasis, who is there in the coming and going of the breath and the perfect union of breath which is set in motion by the Wheel of Wind (life-force), who dissolves all notions of purity! sarvārtha-saṅkarṣaṇa-saṃyamasya  yamasya yantur jagato yamāya |vapur mahāgrāsa-vilāsa-rāgāt  saṅkarṣayantīṃ praṇamāmi kālīm || 4 ||I prostrate before that Kali who out of desire for the play of great devouring and controlling the world dissolves Yama the controller, who controls the destruction of things! unmanyanantā nikhilārtha-garbhā yā bhava-saṃhāra-nimeṣam eti |sadoditā satyudayāya śūnyāṃ Saṃhārakālīṃ muditāṃ namāmi ||5I salute that Destroying Kali who is the endless, ever-radiant and joyful transcendent Void, the Womb of all things, who closes her eyes in order to withdraw the world so as to give rise to the Void (Consciousness).Support the show

In this segment we explore the asterism of Bharani. Bharani translates into something like "the bearer" and has the deity of Yama. Though Bharani is in the youthful, spry, energized sign of Aries, we will come to find that this asterism carries an incredible amount of depth and weight. Bharani has access to the other side... as Yama is the god of death and rebirth. This asterism is extremely mystical, magical, and has no hesitation when diving into the darker qualities of life.
