Conservation Biologist. Tooting about #science #ecology #sustainability #evolution #psychology & whatever subject takes my interest.
Empiricism aims (intentions) are to promote accurate evidence-based information. The general theme of this account is related to promoting #sustainable development. Sustainable development requires mitigating ecological degradation therefore also mitigating #ClimateChange & its associated drivers such as pollution & habitat degradation. This account will not “sugar-coat” the required level of changes needed for humanity to reverse the trend of human-caused ecological degradation.
Historically, & presently, climate change is mitigating humanity (e.g., increases in the frequency & intensity of heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, sea level rise, flash floods, pathogen outbreaks, etc)
Since no one person be informed of all the scientific literature, if a reader thinks that Empiricism makes a statement that is not backed up by the general scientific literature, please refer Empiricism to the relevant peer-reviewed science publication (e.g., paper or website)
Because a Mastodon instance can close down without warning or a Mastodon admin can suspend an account without warning - Empiricism regularly backups the “follows” & “followers” lists. Therefore, if Empiricism can not access this account (e.g., a suspension means the account can’t be moved to another instance), Empiricism will open an account on another Mastodon instance & re-follow the follows list and contact (e.g., direct message) the follower's list (e.g., requesting if people would like to re-follow)
I use The Empirical Perspective blog on WordPress as a digital signature - so that people can be more confident that it’s the same “Empiricism”

“Since the Neolithic Revolution, an assortment of farming systems in Europe that relied heavily on monocultures and a handful of finicky staple crops often ended abruptly and violently. The diverse forest gardens of peasants, however, have quietly shrugged off ten thousand years of turbulent changes. This article is a look at the little-known history of these systems and their innovative strategies for survival.”

“Climate action is the number one priority for major European cities, with 55% of mayors selecting it in new research – more than double any other category.”
“Eurocities, a collaborative network for European cities, surveyed 92 mayors in 28 European countries for its first annual Pulse survey.”
“After climate action, mayors ranked mobility (23%), economic recovery (20%), fighting inequalities (18%), and housing (15%) as most urgent.”

Whenever I see someone on one of these, I imagine they started out with a much larger vehicle and their journey has been riddled with a series of mishaps
#OldMememesNeverDie
May of been? So you're not sure if the figures in the OP are accurate?
In a population of 1000 (chosen at random) people. Two fascists can produce a lot of social damage. In that population will be followers of fascism (e.g., if the money is right) & those that conform (out of fear) or simply ape-see-ape-do social #psychology (e.g., peer pressure)
The solution is to mitigate the 2 fascists (sociopaths) before all hell breaks loose.
In a population of 8 billion people.......
#science of personality differences
Often, the use of a common word in #science has been incorporated into the layfolk lexicon, but has a different meaning.
E.g., when layfolk hear scientists say, for example, "theory", they perceive that a theory is just an idea (because that's how they use the word. E.g., "l have a theory"). Some scientists use the term theory when in fact the concept they're discussing is a hypothesis (I.e., not a sufficient amount of supporting evidence for it to be a theory)
The #theory of #evolution !
The first thing l noticed is - show me the source of the data! If scientists don't adhere to basic referencing protocol, what chance is their for the layperson?
They do like to talk ideas to death.
However, #evolution by natural selection had no foresight. Therefore, evolution can't be deterministic.
We certainly could use some fresh thinkers in the social media evolution \ #philosophy academia scene.
But, Incorrect ideas tend to die out over a generational time frame (bad habits & incorrect ideas die out [in the scientific social scene])

The uncomfortable reality of life on Earth after we breach 1.5°C
Passing 1.5°C of global warming isn't just a political disaster, it will have dire consequences for us all, as those living on the front line already know
Rich people decision makers (generally those that are consuming more of the planet's resources. The business \ political influencers) keep pushing for technological "solutions" (market "solutions" related to their personal business transactions).
In summary, since decades ago, the status qou has been putting climate change off as a future problem. Those problems are now getting harder to mitigate.
If your aim is to be accurate & truthful, don't ask the opinion of those that will lose money if the evidence is widely known.
@dwnews_bot@mastodon.social
I'd argue that's because of ignorance regarding sex based differences & nurtured cultural (folk) #psychology in general.
But, what do l know, other than if folk aren't aware their bias is flawed thinking, they're not going to update their false priors.
Ignorance can spread faster than intelligence (e.g., on social media). The latter, intelligence (considered reasoning) takes more cognitive work (time \ effort)
So, social media has costs & benefits regarding the propagation of evidence or misinformation & disinformation.
Can computer music be sustainable? For example, music software users less resources than hardware.

Do you believe that people that breed dogs - select certain traits in a male & or female #dog , and these traits can be passed into the pups?
Well, then, you believe in #evolution!

Ok, no problem. We are evidently not in the same "headspace" (at the moment).
Have a pleasant day \ evening, etc.
