What happens when we commodify nature? The natural world is not doing well, and is not put here to do with as we want.

The middle ground scramble continues. Elites redefine their positions as if they had it right all along, and explain why they definitely need to be in charge of more stuff.

Tariffs, Trump, AI, nature, and science. Are the tariffs insane, or brilliant? Will Trump actually bring manufacturing back to the U.S.?

Then: AI marches us further into the Cartesian Crisis; can we restore our humanity? Scientifi…
