People’s ideas about the world are formed mostly from their social environment.
Their social environment includes their parasocial environment: media and social media.
The parasocial share of our social environment has been growing for many decades.

In Ostdeutschland sind die Agrarflächenpreise seit der Finanzkrise um 400 Prozent gestiegen, nur noch Großinvestoren können sie sich leisten. Diese bilden nun eine neue Junkerklasse, die Agrarsubventionen kassiert und auf einen Boom bei Erneuerbaren setzt.
Ostdeutschlands neue Junker sind unsichtbar

Wow, 2/3 des Regenwassers auf drainierten Flächen gehen für die Grundwasserneubildung verloren. 😳 Wenn wir dann noch hinzurechnen, welche Mengen durch verrohrte Bäche und eingetiefte, begradigte Flüsse davon rauschen, ist klar: #Dürre und auch #Hochwasser verstärken wir massiv durch Entwässerung!
Was aber wichtig zu verstehen ist:
👉 DASS diese flächenhafte unterirdische (& unsichtbare!) #Entwässerung 💧 in D großflächig Standard ist!
Allein in #Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 53% (!) der Ackerfläche.
(und 83% der Grünländer...)
Und das geht natürlich krass zu Lasten der #Grundwasserneubildung 😵💫

Obwohl ich es ja weiß, bin ich immer wieder schockiert, dass wirklich fast alle verdammten Senken in der Agrarlandschaft an die #Entwässerung angeschlossen sind.
Hier 👇 n Beispiel.
(und das sind nur die gewidmeten Gräben & Rohrleitungen, d.h. die ungewidmeten + Drainagen sind da nicht mal drin.😐)

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.

Universities are caving to Trump with a stunning speed and scope
Some of the nation’s oldest and wealthiest institutions are swiftly bending to President Donald Trump, who is acting on longstanding conservative criticisms of universities as elitist and progressive.

This was the end goal of crypto aligning behind Trump - the crypto economy has very few actual dollars in it and relies on finding new people to hold the bag to get their dollars. The US government is the ultimate bag holder and they’re going to use your tax dollars to bail out crypto owners.

The public has a distorted view of science, because children are taught in school that science is a collection of firmly established truths. In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.
