climate change - what to do or not to do?

I read in Wikipedia:

"Currently, the Earth is in an icehouse climate state. About 34 million years ago, ice sheets began to form in Antarctica; the ice sheets in the Arctic did not start forming until 2 million years ago.[5] Some processes that may have led to our current icehouse may be connected to the development of the Himalayan Mountains and the opening of the Drake Passage between South America and Antarctica. Scientists have been attempting to compare the past transitions between icehouse and greenhouse, and vice versa to understand where our planet is now heading.
Without the human influence on the greenhouse gas concentration, the Earth would be heading toward a glacial period. Predicted changes in orbital forcing suggest that in absence of human-made global warming the next glacial period would begin at least 50,000 years from now[ (see Milankovitch cycles).
But due to the ongoing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, the Earth is instead heading toward a greenhouse Earth period.[5] Permanent ice is actually a rare phenomenon in the history of the Earth, occurring only in coincidence with the icehouse effect, which has affected about 20% of Earth's history."

We are in an interglacial periodic within an ice age right now. 
As wikipedia claims, in most of the Earth's history we have been in greenhouse ages. 

The interglacial periods seem to be the best ones; most of the ice is in the polar areas and there are big  and green rainforests around the equator. 
Life can occur in different shapes around the globe. 

But the interglacial periods are not so long. Holocene, that we are living in now, began about 11000 years ago. Nobody knows exactly how long it will remain. But the climate has been very stable since it began. 
Therefore our civilization has flourished. 

The coming ice age may be delayed because of the green house effect caused by us. 
In the worst scenario the earth will be so much warmer that it will hard for life to survive. 
But it will probably come back in some form. 
And another ice age will probably appear too. 

So, how to act as an individual in front of those scenarios? 

Maybe the best answer is; its up to each one of us.... 
There are no gurus to tell us what to do.

For me the answer is; i want to feed the greenhouse effect as little a possible. 
That means, to to by plane and car as little as I can. 
To use electricity from renewable energy as much as I can. 

That will not mean anything for the climate, but it may influence others a bit. 

Most people seem to care most for their family, for the nearest friends and for their pets. 
I guess that has been a good way to survive in the past. 
But our creativity has driven us to develop technology that has made the balance in nature out of order. 
And that so fast that the evolution is far behind. 
We have been too successful. 

Must of us seeks for glory  and honor. As other monkeys do. We smile for the high ranked persons and look down at the beggars in the street.
The high ranked will have many children and the children will probably go on that way as they share their parents genes. 
That's how evolution works. 

The one who becomes monks or nuns will not contribute to a better future, as they will not have children. 

Another way seem to be education for women. If they get education and job, they will tend to have fewer children. 

If we understand evolution, we may not be slave under it. 



We now have a quite good health care, so many of our offspring survive. But that means that the natural selection is not working anymore. We have become too many. 
We may also be divided into different species within time.
Many think that will be because of  AI. Some of us will have money to, for instance, buy a chip that will make us much more intelligent.That means that we probably not want to be friends with the "primitive" ones without a chip in their brains. 

If the world will be much warmer, the ones that will survive are probably the ones with a lot of money. 
Anyway not the most emphatic ones. 

Or maybe the ones that has meditated the most, The ones that accept what they cannot change. 

But so far its not too late to change the way we live. 
Lets hope more of us will go that way.
The first step is to mindfully be aware of the danger.

Cora Diamond on eating animals - with the help of Wittgenstein´s ideas

Image
Cora Diamond is a new name for me, even if she has worked as a professor in Philosophy in the states for a long time and is still  teaching at the university of Virginia, even she is over 80 years old. She has written a lot about Wittgenstein and that has helped her to express her view of the topic. Although she, like Wittgenstein,  has lived in a hut in Norway - and actually brought Tractatus with hes - she seems to be different and for sure more glad than W. Anyways, its W: s writings that interests her and especially his critics of metaphysics and ethics in philosophy. As it is said in Tractacus  : " Whereof one  cannot speak , thereof one must be silent." And of ethics philosophy should not speak - why? Is it like in Buddhism - its better to sit in silence and let know yourself, than to speculate about what will happen when we die? But for sure there ethical guidelines in Buddhism,  but the behaviors is often named skilful, not good (or bad). Another

I think, therefore I am NOT

So Descartes was wrong. He said that he could doubt everything about himself except that he was thinking. That proved that he existed. The word "I" is the central point here. What does it mean? Perhaps we are sure that we know the answer. Is it the thoughts? In that case - where are you when you aren't thinking? Is it your job, your title? In that case - what happens if you loose your job or change job? Is it your house, your nation? Under my course to be a mindfulness instructor, the teacher, Ola Schenström, made us ask to each other; "Who are you?" After each answer the question was repeated by the questioner.We soon discovered that there were no end to the answers - or maybe an adequate end could be; "I don't know."Or maybe; "It seems I have no essence." Other thinkers have come to the same conclusions; Buddha, Sartre and more recently Damasio and Parfit. Sartre, for instance, has said that we are the sum of our actions. We ha

Wittgenstein and Buddha -buddies?

Image
Ludwig Wittgenstein, the famous philosopher, reflected in the posthumously published  book "Philosophical Investigations" about the picture above; Is it a hare or duck?  He meant that we make, or must make, a statement what it is. And I suppose he meant that we often or always has to interpret the world around us. But two different interpretations can both be right! Language and thoughts controls what we see.....   You can compare with the picture of a glass. Half empty or half empty?  Who decides? Yes, it's you... And whatever you say is right.  But you can be aware of what you think. That can say more of yourself than of the glass....  You can be aware of that you always do interpretations of things that happens.  If you have a pessimistic or a naive point of view, you can be aware of the view and your statements.  Buddha and Wittgenstein were both aware of that different persons uses different perspectives.  But Buddha spoke about the "right
