Update from the Archdruid Greer

[Little John]

Grow up and read the previous comments. I criticise Greer as well

[clv101]

Really you two, is the ritual adulation comment every time Greer writes something the best you can do?

Agreed, it's bonkers. I say this as a fan of Greer and having read several of his books.

[Lord Beria3]

Greer is the best (apart from some of the occult stuff)

That's a fact.

Deal with it. And if you don't you don't need to read the thread.

Superb!

[Little John]

Oh my God, yes.

He is stating, with far greater eloquence than I, what I have been going on about on here for ever.

I shall precis this one for our dear readers on here who need it to be spelled out by one of us in order for us to not be airily dismissed as blind acolytes.

Greers back! Incredible as usual.

[Lord Beria3]

He's back again!! INCREDIBLE.

Comments from the thread.

Reading this, it reminds me of the controversies surrounding mass immigration from so-called Third World countries into the Western nations, including the Hispanic Volkerwanderung in North America and the Islamic Volkerwanderung into Europe.

Here too we see “tough, resilient, adaptable� cultures responding to shifts in the global ecology by moving into the disturbed and increasingly fragile cultural ecologies of the Faustian Culture and its North American pseudomorphosis. It’s even funnier when you consider that so many of those “invasive cultures� are ones that the Faustian Culture invaded, colonized and ruthlessly exploited and now we have sizeable areas of England that are virtually indistinguishable from India or Pakistan, neighborhoods and towns in France that may as well be in North Africa and parts of the US that are for all practical purposes part of Mexico, Central America or Cuba. Ah, the perils of karma!

I expect that Eastern Europe and Russia will do just fine in the long run, especially as the Russo-Slavic Culture comes into its own and shakes off the Faustian pseudomorphosis as Spengler predicted, but it’s likely that Western Europe and Gringostan will have a much harder time dealing with the “invasive cultures� that are already moving in and will be doing so at an accelerating rate as the global ecology becomes even more disrupted.

Baboonery, I ain’t arguing. At this point I’m fairly sure that the Faustian pseudomorphosis in Gringostan (meaning here the US from the Mississippi valley east — west of that is Alta Mexico until you get to the maritime Pacific Northwest, which is something else again — will be replaced over the next couple of centuries with a Mexican pseudomorphosis, out of which the future American high culture will emerge starting in 2500 or so.

David, exactly. I expect the next really serious oil price spike to hit sometime in the early to mid-2020s, and it’s likely to be a doozy. Make your preparations now and you’re going to be in much better shape when the economy gets whacked again.

[Little John]

Yes, he is absolutely on form..

....The point I want to make can be summed up even more crisply. Our habitual way of dealing with Mother Nature assumes that we talk and she listens, full stop, end of sentence. That habit hasn’t worked well, to say the least, and the further we push it, the more disastrous the results are likely to be. What we need to recognize, rather, is that we’re engaged in a conversation with the old broad. We said “pollution,� she quipped “zebra mussels;� we said “internal combustion engines,� and she smiled and said “coastal flooding.� We can listen to her responses and learn from them—

—or not, and find out the hard way what else she has to say.....

Defo. one of his better articles.

I get some sideways looks when I say things like, “Rats have to live too.� Killing one solves no problems. Even bindweed and knotweed are mere nuisances.

And brambles, I have great affection for them. Nature at her peak! Far more ‘intelligent’ than h.s.

[Little John]

I love brambles, the little bastards. I have one impressive little bugger in my back yard wall that, despite my best efforts, shoots out a ten foot branch every summer.

Bindweed is the bane of my life, every year I pull loads of bindweed out of my asparagus patch but it never ends!

I'm told you can eat knotweed - how about bindweed? You can definitely eat dandelions. They are vitamin powerhouses and taste vile.
