96b jbml thln my response to the Lausanne slogan


IS,
"No action
whatsoever is required
of us to make the future possible ~
it will arrive in any case.
But if we do not predict the future,
it is likely that we ourselves will not participate."

Again, I (ml) suffer no illusion that confused thinking is what brought humanity to the brink of extinction, and I continue to see material relationships as the nexus of collective experience and understanding.

Accordingly, there is little point in offering formulas for a prescriptive social contact that will somehow, with a mighty hand and an out-stretched arm, settle all outstanding issues in social theory, beginning with:
"HOW DO WE AGREE ON WHAT WE KNOW, WHICH REFERENCE TO WHICH ASSUMPTIONS AND OBSERVATIONS,
AND HOW DO WE GET THERE FROM HERE?"

I will be satisfied to help by understanding one source of political confusion, & in this effort, I wear a T-shirt with the slogan: Climate Change. It's only a fact!" In writing about time, my concern was to avoid blurring the distinction between well-established theory, speculation, and metaphor, and yet feel free to move rapidly between these forms.
