It took me eights after my phd exam to escape from academia, so this brings back memories. Thank you.

I have been using FB and IG for more than 15 years, mainly as a promotion channel for my books and my art - with modest impact on my success. The quality of the content has been going down steadily. I started exploring the dark corners of Facebook and was shocked by the right wing, fascist posts and Russian propaganda. Last October, I pulled the plug, I left Facebook, I left Instagram, and I’m just in the process of leaving WhatsApp. Liberating!

Anyway… this is useless science for humanity. Let’s focus on saving the species that are still alive.

Spot on

I’m so yippy, there isn’t a paracetamol big enough to cure my headache

Erratic. Psychotic. Yo-yo.

If I were an American, and especially a MAGA, I would be deeply deeply ashamed of this circus.

Statesmanship involves a steady hand, consistency in language and decision.

Politicians must always aim to be statesmen and stateswomen… and use language representative of that role.

The extinction of species is picking up speed, and instead of slowing it down by eg protecting the climate, we focus our limited resources on re-engineering one extinct animal … humanity is lost. I just finished reading this article by William Rees of the UBC about the phenomenon of overshoot, which I highly recommend. https://lnkd.in/eqJxUZrP

I have left Reddit, Facebook, insta, and I have warned all connections on WhatsApp that, starting may 1st, I can only be reached by sms, Threema or signal. It’s up to them then.
