• Abstract
  • The evolution of life on earth has been driven by a small number of major evolutionary transitions.
  • These transitions have been characterized by individuals that could previously replicate independently, cooperating to form a new, more complex life form.
  • For example,
    • archaea and eubacteria formed eukaryotic cells, and
    • cells formed multicellular organisms.
  • However, not all cooperative groups are en route to major transitions.
  • How can we explain why major evolutionary transitions have or haven’t taken place on different branches of the tree of life?
    • We break down major transitions into two steps:
      • the formation of a cooperative group and
      • the transformation of that group into an integrated entity.
    • We show how these steps require
      • cooperation,
      • division of labor,
      • communication,
      • mutual dependence, and
      • negligible within-group conflict.
  • We find that certain ecological conditions and the ways in which groups form have played recurrent roles in driving multiple transitions.
  • In contrast, we find that other factors have played relatively minor roles at many key points, such as
    • within-group kin discrimination and
    • mechanisms to actively repress competition.
  • More generally, by identifying the small number of factors that have driven major transitions, we provide a simpler and more unified description of how life on earth has evolved.

for - cultural phase transition - from feudalism to industrial age

cultural phase transition - from feudalism to industrial age - involved the interplay of a number of factors - cultural exchange of ideas between European and other cultures such as Islam and ancient Greek - colonialism and the Atlantic slave trade - new technologies such as steam engine rendered slaves obsolete by replacing them with more efficient factory systems of production - new human rights movements coincided to abolish slavery

This point is used to transition over to a vivid detail of how the author envied others who could speak more than one language.

This line makes me believe that the author desired to write specifically about her, the woman who was loved with all the author's heart, and who was longed for in the way of validation, a way to move between two points of the story whilst striking hard on the points of what was truly desired.

comment 10 July 2024 - Deep Humanity is our attempt at this. It is not a religion, however. It is humanity, but in the deepest sense, so it is accessible to anyone in our species. Our tagline has been - Rekindling wonder in an age of crisis - However, this morning an adjacency occurred:

adjacency - between - familiarity - wonder - adjacency relationship - Familiarity hides wonder - Richard Dawkins said: - There is an anaesthetic of familiarity, - a sedative of ordinariness - which dulls the senses and hides the wonder of existence. - For those of us not gifted in poetry, - it is at least worth while from time to time - making an effort to shake off the anaesthetic. - What is the best way of countering the sluggish habitutation brought about by our gradual crawl from babyhood? - We can't actually fly to another planet. - But we can recapture that sense of having just tumbled out to life on a new world - by looking at our own world in unfamiliar ways. - That is, when a type of experience becomes familiar through repeated sensory episodes, - we lose the feeling of wonder we had when we initially experienced it - It's much like visiting a place for the very first time. We are struck with a sense of wonder because everything is unpredictable, in a safe way. We have no idea what's around the next corner. It's a surprise. - However, once we live there, and have traced that route hundreds of times, we have transformed that first magical experience into mundane experience. - So it is with everything that makes us human, with all the foundational things about reality that we learned from the moment we were born. - They have all become jaded. We've forgotten the awe of those first experiences in this reality: - our first experience of our basic senses - our first breath of air, instead of amniotic fluid - our first integration of multiple sensory experiences into a cohesive whole - the birth of objectification - the very first application of objectification to form the object we called mOTHER - the Most significant OTHER - our first encounter with the integration of multiple sensory stimuli associated with each object we construct - our first encounter with auditory human, speech symbols - our first experience with object continuity - how objects still exist even if they disappear from view momentarily - do we remember freaking out when mOTHER disappeared from view momentarily? - our first ability to communicate with mOTHER through speech symbols - our first encounter with ability to control our bodies through our own volition - our first encounter with gravity, the pull towards the ground - our first encounter with a large bright sphere suspended in the sky - our first encounter with perspective, how objects change size in our field of view as they get nearer or farer - etc... - What's missing now, is that we have repeated all these experiences so many times, that the feeling of awe no longer emerges with life - To generate awe, the repertoire of existing experiences is insufficient - now we have to create NEW experiences, we have to create novelty - Mortality Salience can help jolt us out of this fixation on novelty, and remind us of the sacred that is already here all the time - For, what happens at the time of death? All the constructions we have taken for granted in life disappear all at once, or perhaps some before others - Hence, we begin to re-experience them as relative, as constructions, and not absolutes - All living organisms have their own unique umwelt - These umwelts are all expressions of the sacred, sensing itself in different ways

• What is required is a kind of awakening, or re-awakening
• When religions do their job, it gives us a framework to engage in a shared sense of the sacred, of wonder in the mundane
• In a sense, Deep Humanity is identifying that most vital commonality in all religions and seeing all their diverse intersectionalities in simply being deeply human
• We awakened once, when we were born into the world
  • then we fell asleep through the dream of familiarity
• Now, we have to collectively re-awaken to the wonder we all experienced in that initial awakening experience as newborns

  • science has transformed our understanding of time.
• But as well in conjunction with this
  • it has transformed- the concept of who we are.
• From biology we have learned that
  • there is no such thing as race,
  • we are all fundamentally one species
    • (with contributions from a few other sister species, Denisovans and Neanderthals).
• And from physics we can say that
  • we are literally the space dust of the cosmos

Das Handelsblatt hat be McKinsey eine Studie zu den Kosten der Energiewende in Deutschland in Auftrag gegeben. Danach ließen sich u.a. die Kosten bis 2035 um 100 Milliarden Euro reduzieren, wenn weniger auf Solar- und Windenergie und den dazu nötigen Ausbau der Stromnetze gesetzt würde und mehr auf Gaskraftwerke, die dann auf Wasserstoff umgerüstet werden können.

Erläuterungen der Energy Charts des Fraunhofer-Instituts für solare Energiesysteme: 2023 kamen 55% des deutschen Strombedarfs aus erneuerbaren Energien, die Kohleverstromung ist deutlich gesunken. Der Verzicht auf Atomkraftwerke war keine Ursache dafür, dass Deutschland in diesem Jahr mehr Strom importierte als exportierte. https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/energie/strommix-deutschland-so-abhaengig-ist-deutschland-von-stromimporten/100002618.html

Der Ausbau der Windenergie in Deutschland hat sich unter der Ampelkoalition beschleunigt. Es werden aber im Augenblick nur etwa halt so viele Anlagen gebaut, wie es nach den Plänen der Bundesregierung nötig wäre. In den südlichen Bundesländern ist der Ausbau viel zu langsam. Genehmigungsverfahren z.B. für den Transport dauern zu lange. https://taz.de/Ausbau-der-Windenergie/!5983011/

Im vergangenen Jahr wurden 50% mehr Anlagen für erneuerbare Energien installiert als 2022. Die bei der letzten COP beschlossene Verdreifachung der erneuerbaren Energie bis 2030 wird damit noch nicht erreicht, aber sie ist nicht unrealistisch. Der neue Bericht der International Energy Agency geht aber auch davon aus, dass der Anteil der fossilen Energien an der Energieproduktion bis 2030 nur von 80% auf 73% sinken wird https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/un-bond-enorme-historique-en-2023-le-monde-a-connu-une-envolee-des-installations-denergies-renouvelables-20240112_PEB6SYFQPZHZBEB56I2GYBRHZM/

Jean-Baptiste Fressoz stellt in seinem neuesten Buch die These auf, dass neue Energien alte nie ersetzen, sondern nur den Energieverbrauch weiter steigern. Diese These wird hier kritisiert und damit auch die Behauptung, eine Reduktion der Emission werde nur durch Verzicht bzw einsparen von Energien möglich sein. Die Argumente sind allerdings sehr allgemein.

Die Preise für erneuerbare Energien liegen inzwischen weltweit nahezu überall deutlich unter denenbfür fossile Energie. Allerdings sind die Profite bei fossilen Energien wesentlich höher. David Wallace-Wells analysiert diese Situation ausgehend von Brett Christophers' im Februar erscheinenden neuen Buch und von aktuellen Zahlen über die Profite der Öl- und Gasfirmen und die fossilen Subventionen.Nötig sind staatliche Interventionen und vor allem der Verzicht auf fossile Subventionen. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/10/opinion/profits-green-energy.html

Die französische Regierung plant ihre Zielsetzungen in der Energiepolitik zu revidieren und sie statt für erneuerbare Energien nur noch für Nuklearenergie anzugeben. Zugleich soll die Formulierung zur Reduktion der Treibhausgase abgeschwächt werden.

Laut Agora Energiewende ist der CO2-Ausstoß in Deutschland 2023 um 73 Millionen Tonnen auf insgesamt 673 Millionen Tonnen gesunken, den niedrigsten Stand seit den 50er Jahren. Allerdings gehen nur 15% dieses Rückgangs auf dauerhafte Einsparungen zurück. Der Ausbau der Solarenergie entspricht den Zielen der Bundesregierung und der EU, der Ausbau der Windenergie bleibt weiterhin dahinter zurück. Gebäude und Verkehr imitieren weiterhin deutlich mehr, als sie es laut bisherigem Klimaschutzgesetz dürfen. https://taz.de/Studie-zu-CO-Emissionen/!5983584/

2023 werden, einen Bericht der International Energy Association zufolge, die erneuerbaren Energien ein Rekordwachstum verzeichnen. Der Strom aus erneuerbaren Quellen wird 2024 in etwa den Stromverbrauch von China und den USA zusammen entsprechen. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/tirees-par-le-solaire-les-energies-renouvelables-progressent-dans-le-monde-20230601_GW6M2JM73RFTXL72LUC2ZD5TPE/

• HIGHLIGHTS

  • introduce the idea of transition pain in transition-in-the-making
  • explain how emotions in transitions are
    • process-dependent,
    • culturally and socially embedded and
    • political
  • suggest a 'coping with transition pain' perspective for more integrated engagements with phase-outs

• ABSTRACT

  • With this perspective paper, we aim to raise awareness of and offer starting points for studying the role of emotions and associated behavioural responses to losses in relation to phase-outs.
  • We start from a psychological perspective and explain how
    • losses due to phasing out dominant
      • practices,
      • structures, and
      • cultures
    • may threaten core psychological needs and lead to - what we introduce as - ‘transition pain’.
  • We borrow insights from the psychological coping literature to explain that different forms of transition pain may elicit characteristic coping responses (e.g.
    • opposition,
    • escape,
    • negotiation),
  • shaping
    • individual meaning-making and
    • behaviour
  • in ongoing sustainability transitions.
  • We then expand this psychological lens and present three additional perspectives, namely, that transition pain is
    • (1) dynamic and process-dependent,
    • (2) collectively shared and socially conditioned, and
    • (3) political.
  • We discuss how a ‘coping with transition pain’ lens can contribute to a better understanding of
    • individual and collective meaning-making,
    • behaviour and agency in transitions as well as
    • a more emotion-sensitive governance of phase-outs.

• SUMMARY

  • It's good to have knowledge about the emotional aspects of transition as these challenging emotions constitute obstacles to transition.
  • It is really a letting go process. High density fossil fuels has created a high energy lifestyle that we have become use to. When we no longer have access to high energy density fossil fuels, our life has to change quite radically.
  • We are like a spoiled child that must now contend with the loss of what we took for granted. The politics of libertariansim is based on protecting our right to a high energy density lifestyle.
  • We need to now how to deal with this loss, as it is very profound

• for: quote - Sultan Al Jabber, quote - energy replacement instead of phase out, key point - focus on energy transition instead of just fossil fuel phase out

• quote

  • Whatever one thinks of Sultan Al Jaber, one statement he’s made repeatedly makes perfect sense: “We cannot unplug the world from the current energy system before we build a new energy system.”
  • The focus, then, has to shift.
    • Instead of focusing on dismantling the incumbent system,
    • we need to focus on accelerating the deployment of the new system that will replace it
• author: Nafeez Ahmed

• date : Dec 6, 2023

• key point

  • we must focus on the energy shift instead of just the phase out or down of the old energy system

• for: polycrisis - US political election interference due to threat of net zero transition to Russian economy

• for: degrowth - criticism - bad communication, suggestion - growth and degrowth simultaneously

• suggestion

  • evolution / transition / transformation are better terms as it indicates something is dying at the same time diverging is being born
  • it is highly misleading to think one dimensionally as there are many things that have to degrow and many things that have to grow simultaneously
    • degrowth of carbon emissions, which implies pragmatically in the short time scale noe available a significant degrowth of fossil fuels
  • growth of a new energy system to replace much of it
  • degrowth of unnecessary and harmful consumption accompanied
    • growth of holistic network of root level wellbeing activities and the low carbon infrastructure to support it

• comment

  • SONECs can provide the vehicle for rapid whole system change and transition at the local level
  • From SONEC neighborhood parliaments, a community can become more independent and production can be relocaized in the form of community owned cooperatives for:
    • energy
    • water
    • food
    • transportation
    • health
    • manufacturing

1. The energy transition is not keeping pace with the growing urgency for change.

2. Lack of access to an affordable energy supply has emerged as a threat to a just energy transition.

3. Energy diversity - and security - are in short supply.

4. Regulatory frameworks need to be strengthened to meet the moment

5. Demanding change increasingly means changing demand

6. Industrial-strength decarbonization requires industrial-strength collaborations

Erneuerbare Energien sind in den vergangenen 20 Jahren deutlich schneller gewachsen als prognostiziert. Das Wachstum war aber nicht so groß wie das des Stromverbrauchs insgesamt, so dass die Emissionen aus fossilen Energien trotzdem zugenommen haben. Die New York Times stellt die Entwicklung des Elektrizitäts-Sektors nach Länder geordnet mit Infografiken dar und analysiert sie. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/11/20/climate/global-power-electricity-fossil-fuels-coal.html
