#Conservationism
Thank you for bringing attention to this, SM!
Just like conservationism and protection for the environment, this, I fear, is the new existential crisis of the day for humanity! And given AI's capacity for iterative learning and adapting, time is not on our side.

Environmentalism continues its radical shift from reasonable conservationism to environmentalist earth religion.

This growing faith was recently preached in a Times op-ed that quite literally proselytizes for nature animism. | Wesley J. Smith

When colonizers were told the gold rush was theirs to plunder they brought to the continent, alcohol, patriarchy, Christianity, anti-intellectual conspiracy dogma, greed, and arrogance. American propaganda prevents:

SOBRIETY
GRATITUDE
CURIOSITY
INDIVIDUALITY
CREATIVITY
CONSERVATIONISM
AUTHENTICITY

NR; optimism is back and I will shout from the rooftops whenever I can about it. This is non-preachy conservationism at it's very best. 5 stars.

NIMBYISM is not conservationism.
You can't make an ally out a person who doesn't believe your needs exist.

this is why nothing changes, nothing gets better. we can’t even advocate for each other or for Indigenous Land Back without our existence coming into question even when we do our best to decenter ourselves... but tribal enrollment would make it easier to push back against colonizer conservationism.

This is how disgusting conservationism is, Republicans supporting Trump for his history of pedophilia, convicted rape, 39 felonies, his blatant racism, bigotry, and misogyny, in addition his insider trading plus Putin connection and Jan 6. Still this is a short list.

trying to find "reasonable" conservatives, but their picks despite being still pretty bad, aren't going to represent MAGA AT ALL. Which is all that u.s. conservationism is now. There really is no reasonable or even "reasonable" there. It's a weird stupid cult.

Turns out grandma was just a bitch who didn't like me cuz oh noooo mom didn't breed with an anglo.
Makes me wonder how many more of everything we could have without cunts who bully children.

Might have revived the conservationism dream, but the training corps felt it needed an upper age limit(???).

Considering how cheap energy requirements of humans -- and indeed the entire Earth biosphere -- are relative to the abundance of solar power, I feel very confident in a future of AGI conservationism towards its own history

“Ken Burns’: The Progressive Era” would unironically slap incredibly hard.

Open it with the peak of the Gilded Age and tie Roosevelt’s progressivism in with conservationism (and cross-market to his National Parks documentary!)

A great read by @sarahelizabethladd.bsky.social of @kentuckylantern.com: "He leaves behind a sprawling legacy of advocacy, conservationism, literary pursuit and protest that inspired people from the hills of Kentucky to Hollywood and beyond."

Them & clouded leopards were the animals that got me into zoology on a broad basis & interested in conservationism specifically so theyre really near and dear to my heart.. i think one of my dreams is getting to see one in the wild some day, when theyre better recovered 🥹♥️

There was/is a strong pastoral strain in some conservationism that values looking untouched over things like preventing sprawl

New book is Man Eaters Of Kumaon, written by one of those old timey naturalists that was big into conservationism while also shooting every tiger he saw

deep root deep forest
knotted foliage network
guards of soil and seed
knuckles busted muddied
nails grit-filled and loamy
aeration by bone and body
conversation of dirt and pebble
pregnant silence over seasons
stone fruit ferns and floor mulch
detritus bones shiver by wind
charnel conservationism

Thankfully, during the same time, knowledge of conservationism has increased, allowing her to maintain what she can with modern techniques (and also magic she’s still a witch after all lol)

It’s a battle of values, e.g. between conservationism and stable utility prices vs digital sovereignty and the chance to try new technology first: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Brothers Will and Jim Pattiz write “More Than Just Parks” on Substack and champion our Wild Spaces and Public Lands. Please consider joining me and reading this article. “We the People” are what Will Pattiz refers to as “The Fourth Wave of Conservationism.” We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.🌟
