As a way of labelling 'modernism' under one signal, Pamela Geller has a piece on 'Cuomo-clone Hochel's ban gas and make NY electric bill'. Pam, I happen to know, is rabidly pro-fossil and, while I can't go along with her principled blue-collar stance, the 100% electrical future is exactly what 'they' offer as it is a clean fuel.
Clean as in antiseptic, suitable to a global hospital. This is a point I've been making in that it tallies with a paradigm of ones and zeros - algorithms and the vanishing-point of technique.
While the global climate is cited as a cause, in fact it masks an infertile agenda. There are numerous examples. Peat is a well-known fertilizer and protected reserve on wetland moors.
New analysis found how peat extracted for UK horticulture in 2020 could release up to 880, 000 tons of CO2 over its lifetime.
By 'released', they mean rotted into plant-growth, so the figure is seriously misleading. Granted wetland peat moors are the ideal reserve for carbon, that doesn't make the use in horticulture negative so long as the reserve is sustained.
Similar arguments go for pasture-fed cows that fertilize the ground and so their carbon output goes into plant-growth. Grass-grazed cattle, mobile and alert, are neither methane polluters. The fertility-cycle cycles carbon where the infertile cycle does not. Similarly for the Ohio intensive pig-farms.
That's why, while I don't identity with Geller's rightist agenda, our views tally in the sense of being outside the modern paradigm of antiseptic electric.
Outside, dirt and cleanliness are the thing, in the way coal miners would take to the water after blacking-up. Maybe coal isn't that healthy, but in general the germs and generous bacteria in dirt roughen-up the body and supply it with rough treatment that animates the immune-response ready for any nasties that may appear.
The antiseptic paradigm is built on measurement that is an illusion. Rough living is a product of rhythm, force and movement. One climbs the branches of a tree and is aware of large-scale similarities (limbs).
The physical aspects of nature are stylised symbolically, as was shown in P206 (Haeckel and Tudor symbols). Stylisation accentuates the physical power and imbues a psychic luster.
The parallel universe of measurement lacks power and denies fertility. The paradigm confuses high-tech complexity for lo-fi truth.
In some ways, lo-fi contains truth because- like Lee Perry's Black Arc recordings - the childish avant-garde imagination is let loose rather than imprisoned by the technology.
However complex the technology, we essentially live in a dual-tone world of ones and zeros controlled by algorithms (see 'Jirel Meets Magic'). This dual-tone reality is given utterance by the Lithuanian avant-garde lo-fi composer
Despite the complexity of our world, it is one of efficient sameness. Outside the listless paradigm is the real world of inefficient differences that are balanced in terms of strength or fertility (figuratively, a fertile artisan-base.)
The dual-tone hypnotises the ego of acolytes with its siren-call. They are captives of Korvac (W8) or the universal order that becomes the vanishing-point of technique (GPS navigation.)
Tractors that are guided by satellite can only be the harbingers of sterile monoculture. The truth is hidden, which is that the principle of struggle, of predator and prey, is the inefficiency that secures the strength of difference against the oppression of sameness.
Korvac-types like Putin are in fact pursuing the weakness of death, a universal order that is pure illusion. Rebellion as a principle of identity is historically established in the Baltic states, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia.
The principle of the struggle of differences in terms of strength is surely seen in Orthodox iconography.
