What if the greatest threat to capitalism was the biosphere? And what if the greatest threat to the biosphere were bankers?

Eight People Enter Biosphere 2

On September 26, 1991, eight people entered Biosphere 2 in Arizona to begin a two year experiment inside a sealed ecosystem.

Topped off season 3 of #silo (excellent and gloomy as ever) with the 2020 documentary on #biosphere2 #spaceshipearth.

A perfect combination! That Silo concept would *never* work with such a small footprint and population. But scaling anything like it is not realistic from an engineering and […]

Et si on pouvait recréer la Terre ? 🌍 Biosphere 2, en Arizona, tente l'expérience sous ses panneaux de verre triangulaires. Un pari fou ou une utopie nécessaire ? #Science #Environnement #Biosphere2

biosphere 2: what happens when humans try to recreate earth?
a look back at biosphere 2, the arizona experiment that tested closed-loop living and revealed the limits of a sealed world.

Remember #Biosphere2? People inside eventually had to pollinate flowers by hand, flower by flower, to keep crops alive. What an object lesson for why we need to take care of our planet's species.
Biosphere 2 was built to test whether eight people could survive completely sealed off from the rest of Earth for two years — but inside its glass walls, cockroaches and stowaway ants boomed while mos...
When scientists sealed eight people inside a artificial Earth, they discovered that the creatures they didn't want thrived while the ones they needed to survive mysteriously vanished.

Remember!

The artificial self-sustaining biome research was mostly funded by oil billionaire Ed Bass.

Who still technically owns Biosphere2, somehow.

It wasn't hippies....
a lot of the interesting but unsexy experiments that they should be doing to develop long term space capacity are not really being done by a lot of the showboaters

like nobody is doing actual "how do we build an artificial self sustaining biome" research anymore cause it's for hippies

I thought he donated biosphere2 once the sexy publicity getting part of the project was clearly dead.

A surprisingly large amount of the American culture wars amounts to weird southern Great Plains billionaires fighting to remake some part of society in their image via philanthropic organizations.

This is the Koch Brothers and Harlan Crow, but also Ed Bass, the guy that bankrolled Biosphere2.

Goodbye biosphere2, really inspiring time with old & new colleagues talking about past species range shifts & what they tell us about the future for #trees. #biogeography @AndriaEDawson @AR_Castilla

Thank you to @uarizona.bsky.social 2025 Joint Biology Retreat Graduate Student Committee for inviting me to be their Keynote Speaker!Amazing time learning about the innovative research being led by grad students and new faculty. Speaking at #Biosphere2 was truly a historic experience.#SilvaFisherlab

Der Thread hat noch andere bizarre Kuriositäten zu bieten.
Z.B. dass Bannon in den 1990ern Chef von Biosphere2 gewesen ist...

Und viel Unschönes über Chomsky...
Es soll den Völkermord in Kambodscha und den in Bosnien geleugnet haben...
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

Biosphere2 was also but a petty experiment without any real urgent need.

Even in the worst case of climate change imaginable it would be hundreds of years before the continents would become completely uninhabitable.

In that time we could build survivable space for millions.

But we should not need

#Gastronauts #Biosphere2 in the middle of the Sonoran Desert 🌵 Morning yoga, sunrise run to the old campus (w/ Elena Gracheva), incredible Southwestern food, wild turkey chase, and the Milky Way every night! Truly beyond a conference. science, nature, and people made it sacred.
