Aforementioned: aphorisms and questions for 2015
Troublesome law: A species cannot stop doing what it has always done. Were this not true of us, we would have rethought science by now. It is now probing territory that runs absolutely contrary to the survival interests of the species that nurtured it. Wisdom should tell us to turn away from those paths, but, as with all species, our genes push us to continue to probe our limits. Scientists will never pull back from the next step, because they can't help themselves.

The patriarch thing hasn’t worked. Let’s try out true true power shared with the matriarch.

The url will take you to a blog by the Canadian political luminary, Elizabeth May. 
We know that patriarchal governance has been a catastrophe. We haven't experimented with matriarchal governance. I can't say what the results would be like, but it is quite likely that women would agree to govern in the interests of their children and Nature.

Zombies=low-grade, rabid sci-fi.-ignore.Global warming=a terrible truth.-pay attention. 
The two kids in glasses have the right idea - laugh 
This is a hydrogen-sulphide stream off the coast of Namibia. It is not funny. It suffocates all aerobic life in the area. One of the last stages of global warming as we have set it in motion will be hydrogen-sulphide bubbling up to the surface of the oceans to asphyxiate anything living on land. Do something about global warming immediately or expect the hydrogen-sulphide soon.

Disease often kills its host. The Earth hosts us and we are killing it 
These people are all suffering from the Spanish flu. About a quarter of them died. 
These trees have been killed by the pine beetle. This would not have been possible without anthropogenic induced global warming. We are the disease that is killing the biosphere. We must find the means to cure the earth of us.

The apocalypse: invention of testosterone crazed control freaks - a self-fulfilling prophecy?
http://goo.gl/WwTE1
Everything that you will find if you open this url I regard as fantasy fiction. No one could argue with my contention that it is testosterone driven. For example, the pronoun she hardly makes an appearance except to do something like bear a male child. Go figure. How many women can you count in this picture? Weird. 
What example of a woman can you site who showed any desire to emulate the role of the above apocalypse-spouting vessel of testosterone. 
Who invents these idiotic images? Would we care about them if we hadn't worked so hard to make them a real possibility?

To make it through the bottleneck of the 21st century, we must begin at last to prepare for the renewed and restored world that lies beyond the bottleneck. There's a syllogism hidden here. if the only way to save ourselves is to work to improve the health of the biosphere, then what follows must be something worth dreaming about.

Like the madness of one, the madness of the whole is beyond its control.

Can we help ourselves? The answer has to be yes, although there is little precedent in nature for spontaneous reversal of disease, once it has reached its critical stage. In case you are wondering, the top picture is Gustav Dore's rendering of the Children's Crusade in which children set off to the Holy Land in the pious belief that they could convert Muslims to Christianity. There were apparently many separate incidents that have been conflated in our time as the Children's Crusade. As many as 30,000 children may have perished in one such venture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Crusade

As things are going, male rule will destroy the planet. Would women rule over a golden age of the biosphere?

We can’t live without testosterone or death, but we have a false understanding of both. 
Our sad, confused imagery of death as the grim reaper and our notion of testosterone as a projection of male power have been the source of untold grief and destruction.
