Agrilogistics, Global Climate Change, and Binge-Watching Netflix

Agrilogistics*–“It’s an agricultural program that has been running without much change–only upgrades to more intense versions of itself–since about 10,000BC, when it began at the start of the (warmer) Holocene.

The basic elements of the program are: settle down (stop hunter-gathering), farm grains.

There is an implicit logic to this program. Sometimes it’s directly stated, sometimes it emerges from how the program executes:

1. The law of noncontradiction is inviolable.
2. To exist is to be constantly present.
3. More existing is better than any quality of existing.

When left to run for 12,000 years, agrilogistics successfully illustrates the flaws in this logic: it generates the global warming that it was designed to avoid, causing mass extinction.” http://ecologywithoutnature.blogspot.com/2015/10/what-is-agrilogistics.html

Now is the binge Netflix-watching while practicing agrilogistics even remotely in concert with:
o regenerating and conserving a rich top soil, quality water, & biodiversity?
o appropriately transforming daily solar energy?
o lowering embodied human appropriated net primary productivity and our individual & collective ecological footprints? and
o dynamic homeostatic symbioses (“nature”)?

No! Hell no!!!

It is another addictive aspect of the rampant artificialization of Earth or transformation to a “complete Eaarth”.
