People who think that replacing a wild ecosystem (left pic) with a solar plant (right pic) is "good for the environment" are seriously delusional. Solar panels require a global supply chain, (fossil fuel-based) mining and refining of rare-earth minerals, denuding of areas, and regular washing, all of which are extremely ecologically destructive. They also have a relatively short life and become problematic toxic waste afterwards. Humans have existed sustainably for hundreds of thousands of years prior to the advent of civilization and thrived - believe it or not - without any of these 'green' energy technologies. If we wish to survive and thrive again we must return to those ways.

Excerpt:
The First Cause
It’s a fascinating story to tell children but claiming that it’s all just a “dumb” accident is no more helpful than saying “God did it.” Loren Eiseley, the great naturalist, once said that scientists “have not always been able to see that an old theory, given a hairsbreadth twist, might open an entirely new vista to the human reason.” The theory of evolution turns out to be the perfect case in hand. Amazingly, it all makes sense if you assume that the Big Bang is the end of the chain of physical causality, not the beginning.
It’s us, the observer (including cats, dogs, and other sentient life), who create space and time. Consider everything you see around you right now. Language and custom say it all lies outside us in the external world. Yet we can’t see anything through the vault of bone that surrounds our brain. Our eyes aren’t just portals to the world. In fact, everything we experience, including our body, is part of an active process occurring in our mind. Space and time are simply the mind’s tools for putting it all together. Our mind also has the capacity to generate a 3D spatial world even when we dream, even though we’re lying in bed with our eyes closed.
As Hawking said, the past, like the future, exists only as a spectrum of possibilities. Until the present is determined, how can there be a past? The past begins with the observer, not the other way around as we’ve been taught. We're the first cause, the vital force that collapses not only the present but the cascade of past spatio-temporal events we call evolution.
Forget the "just happened" theory—the parameters of the universe allow for us because we generate them.

"I use the word “manifesto” in the subtitle on purpose: A manifesto is an urgent message, a call for action, a strategy to bring about change and transformation. We do need a revolution. Not one fought with weapons for a political cause, but one fought with a new mindset, one that protects our collective future under the banner of biocentrism. Biocentrism is the principle that a planet hosting life is sacred and that we, humans, must rise to the moral task of preserving our world and all life on it. The book asks us to rethink who we are — and the “we” here means all humans. In the book, I explain how and why we must embrace a new way of relating to each other and to all living creatures if we are to save our project of civilization and our home planet. This is no naïve dream but a must for our future" (Marcelo Gleise). I highly suggest that you read this book .

[...] speculation regarding the (im)materiality of genetic race has overshadowed the more fundamental (and materially pertinent) question of how racialized environments are embodied. Or as Clarence Gravlee succinctly notes, “The common assertion that ‘race is not biology’ may be correct in spirit. But it is too crude and imprecise to be effective. It does not adequately challenge the reductionism and genetic determinism of biomedical science or popular culture, and blinds us to the biological consequences of race and racism as socio-cultural phenomena”. In other words, the controversy surrounding the “reality” of genetic race has forestalled a fuller recognition of the biopsychological consequences and somatic materialities of antiblack racism. An exclusive focus on the domain of DNA undercuts what could be a fuller consideration of both the agentic capaciousness of somatic processes and the life-and-death stakes of that capacity.
Sylvia Wynter would argue that this overinvestment in DNA is a symptom of biocentrism. A purely biological definition of what it means to be, biocentrism is undergirded by a genomic principle: that “the human” is a purely biologically determined mode of being. Biocentrism is characterized by Wynter as the belief that we are “biological beings who then create culture”. Acording to a biocentric logic, human cultural practices are linearly determined by groups’ bio-ontological composition. “Racism,” [Sylvia] Wynter argues “is an effect of the biocentric conception of the human”. She contrasts this belief system’s reductive investment in DNA as substratum and mechanistic causation with an alternative: My proposal is that we are bioevolutionarily prepared by means of language to inscript and autoinstitute ourselves in this or that modality of the human, always in adaptive response to the ecological as well as to the geopolitical circumstances in which we find ourselves. Wynter has expanded upon this view, which she calls the sociogenic principle. Sociogeny defines (human) being in a manner that is not reducible to physical laws. In fact, said laws are redefinable as sociogenetic or nature-culture laws because culture is not only what humans create but also what creates human being. However, sociogeny differs from previous and contemporaneous theories of nature-cultures in that desire and affect play a decisive role in the concept. Wynter argues that a “culturally imposed symbolic belief system” serves as the internalized sanction system that motivates behavior, biochemically affirming or negating in dynamic relation to societal norms and values prior to any reflective process. A species-specific opioid (reward and punishment) system serves to induce its appropriate behaviors through the mediation of each person’s subjective experience of what feels good and what feels bad to and for each person. If the organismic body delimits the human species, then the body is itself culturally determined through the mediation of the socialized sense of self as well as through the “social” situation in which this self is placed. The transformation of subjective experience is culturally and, thereby, socio-situationally determined with these determinations in turn, serving to activate their physicalist correlates. Thus, subjectively experienced, visceral processes take place such that their functioning cannot be explained in terms of only the natural sciences, of only physical laws. Alex Weheliye rightly distinguishes Wynter’s sociogeny from sociobiology, cautioning: “Wynter does not focus on the origins and adaptive evolution of race itself but rather on how sociogenic principles are anchored in the human neurochemical system, thus counteracting sociobiological explanations of race, which retrospectively project racial categories onto an evolutionary screen”.
Inspired by Frantz Fanon’s famous axiom in Black Skin, White Masks “beside phylogeny and ontogeny stands sociogeny,” a reworking of Ernst Haeckel’s theory of evolution, Wynter’s sociogenic principle draws on Fanon’s observation that the individual (ontogeny) does not simply emerge and unfurl via species membership (phylogeny) in its natural scientific conception but in dynamic relation to a sociocultural situation (sociogeny). Fanon speaks of how the social situation, in this case, implicit knowledge of a “historico-racial schema” alters the psyche and the nervous system’s biochemical dynamism prior to the reflectivity of “consciousness”. In the case of the human species, the sociogenic principle is the information-encoding, organizational principle of each culture’s criterion of being/nonbeing that functions to artificially activate the neurochemistry of the reward and punishment pathway as if it was instinctual, doing so in terms needed to institute the human subject as a culture-specific and thereby semiotically defined, if physiologically implemented, mode of being and sense of self. In contrast to a biocentric view of the species, Wynter argues, “We can experience ourselves as human only through the mediation of the processes of socialization effected by the invented tekhne or cultural technology to which we give the name culture”. Wynter once stated, “For me, Black Studies is about enabling the exit from the substitute religion ‘evolution,’ a substitute religion which represses the fact that once language has co-evolved with the brain, the process of evolution was followed by the Event of human auto-institution, of autopoesis!” In other words, the technology that is culture, Wynter argues, is evolutionarily significant such that with the emergence of semantic technologies humans gained a technology that developed the power to direct the specific terms of the nervous system’s order of perception and categorization, harness its drives to its now culturally defined sociogenetic own, and even override the genetic-instinctual sense of self where necessary, activating, by their semantic reprogramming, the opioid system (reward and punishment) in culture-specific terms as if it were instinct. Thus, semiosis plays a determinant role in the adaptive processes of both culture and biology, meaning and biochemical affect. Wynter argues that racism deploys “coercive semantic technologies” and “systemically imposed role[s]” that reify bodies into types or prescriptive categories, and these types and prescriptive categories, in turn, trigger affects, sensations, and behaviors reflexly, activated by pervasive associations that predefine and assign responsibility to those made representative of a type.

What is the Truth of Biocentrism? Is it Really Debunked?
Biocentrism Debunked is a theory proposed by Robert Lanza, a prominent scientist in the field of regenerative medicine and stem cell research. The theory suggests that biology, particularly consciousness, is central to understanding the universe. It proposes that life and biology are fundamental to the nature of reality, and that consciousness plays a crucial role in shaping the cosmos.
Tumblr media
The idea of biocentrism has generated significant interest and debate within both scientific and philosophical communities. While some proponents view it as a groundbreaking theory that could revolutionize our understanding of the universe, others remain skeptical due to its departure from traditional scientific paradigms.
Critics argue that biocentrism lacks empirical evidence and does not provide testable hypotheses, which are fundamental principles in the scientific method. Additionally, some scientists have raised concerns about the potential for pseudoscientific interpretations and the blurring of lines between science and metaphysics.
As of my last update in January 2022, biocentrism has not gained widespread acceptance within the scientific community. While it presents intriguing ideas and challenges conventional thinking, it remains a topic of debate and skepticism among scientists.Whether Biocentrism Debunked is a matter of perspective. While it has not been widely embraced as a scientific theory, it continues to inspire philosophical discussions and speculative inquiry into the nature of consciousness and reality.

Is Biocentrism Credible? How A New Idea May Change Your World
Biocentrism is a theory that challenges traditional notions of reality and suggests that the physical world is not the only reality. It was proposed by Dr. Robert Lanza, an American biologist best known for his research in regenerative medicine and stem cells. He argues that life has its own set of laws independent from those governing the physical universe and that the universe is a product of…

According to Robert Lanza, M.D, death is actually a door to an endless number of universes. Furthermore, during our life, Lanza asserts that anything that possibly can happen is happening in some universe. He continues to explain that death does not exist in these scenarios since all of these possibilities are taking place at the same time. The only reason we associate our consciousness with our physical body is due to energy operating around in our brains.
He believes that when we die, we experience a break in the string that binds the mind and body together as one. Once this takes place, we also experience a break with our connection of times and places.
“Indeed, biocentrism suggests it’s a manifold that leads to all physical possibilities. More and more physicists are beginning to accept the “many-worlds” interpretation of quantum physics, which states that there are an infinite number of universes.
Everything that can possibly happen occurs in some universe. Death doesn’t exist in these scenarios since all of them exist simultaneously regardless of what happens in any of them. The “me” feeling is just energy operating in the brain. But energy never dies; it cannot be destroyed.”

BOOK REVIEW: Observer by Robert Lanza and Nancy Press
BOOK REVIEW: Observer by Robert Lanza and Nancy Press
Observer is a science-fiction novel based on ideas from scientist Robert Lanza (called one of the 100 Most Influential People by Time magazine) and cowritten by Nancy Kress (a Hugo and Nebula Award winning author) and demonstrates an in-depth grasp of science and a penchant for speculative science fiction. The physics is understandable and illuminating. In short, the premise begins with aspects…

A very long letter for Dr. Robert Lanza whose contact information I cannot find
Dear Dr. Lanza,
Thank you for your steadfast commitment to the principle of Biocentrism. I have been following your work since the early 90’s and it’s marvelous to see that your ideas and career have continued to flourish, and that the world has indeed become more receptive to your theory.
 I just finished reading your latest, The Grand Biocentric Design, and I will be honest, my intuition is why I’m writing this letter to you right now. It’s a long story, but the crux as your work is concerned relates to your palpable frustration at points in the book when you discuss attempts to merge quantum and classical physics, now that you’ve cemented the creative nature of energy itself. I’m here to pass on this: the desire of science to break down and separate and define and control all matter and data is civilizational thinking, and quantum energy cannot be understood with this kind of rationality.
 Life itself is an energetic duality, operating according to both quantum and classical rules at the same time. Our classically defined body navigates the physical, wave collapsed world according to the laws of classical physics. Our quantum self deals in intuition, emotion, personality, memory, values, spirituality, etc. – all the intangible and enigmatic things that have no energetic correlate in the classically defined physical world. Our quantum selves are the alchemists that turn neurotransmitters and hormones into thoughts and feelings, into ideas we can potentially act on in the physical, classically defined world, although only within our evolutionary intelligence. It’s why we see echoes of entanglement, superposition, multiple worlds, and time travel in biological and geological systems. I think researchers might find that all the non-corporeal, unmeasurable aspects of the classical world arise from quantum “personality” and attributes. For instance, have you ever stopped to wonder at the implications of every equation needing to be balanced to be true, and how that need for balance is reflected in the nature of energy itself, whether mineral, biological or emotional? What is balance, really? A universal joining/stabilizing force like gravity, only quantum in nature?
 You are right that we are all one, autonomous but interconnected; it’s our quantum selves that enable us to experience interconnectedness and transcends the sensory understanding of our classical physical bodies. It’s what allows us to hold conversations in our minds with loved ones who have passed away and what makes us feel choked up with awe when we see the aurora borealis or hear the Ode to Joy. It holds our belief and is the source of the voice of intuition and our cultural sense of god, which I suspect is the human experience of a sort of collective consciousness. It’s why faith healing and placebos sometimes work. It’s what creates dreams and ghosts. 
The things that give life meaning are all the doing of the quantum aspect of our innate bodily energy, Dr. Lanza, and my gut tells me this process defies rational explanation because it must. It can’t be pinned down or quantified any more than love or hope can be. It is a moving target, like happiness. No lab experiments will be able to capture it because the workings of a creative being can’t truly be understood unless it’s embedded in the system of its co-creation. Context always, always matters as we are discovering through our planetary environmental woes, all of which happened on the watch of civilizational science. Accepting and learning from our dual nature is the future of physics, and maybe psychology and every other human endeavor. The silo-ing of human knowledge is a civilizational trick that has created great circles of power and ego and lots of exchange of Capital, but it does not serve the ongoing co-creation of our living biosphere. Wrapping our heads around the squishiness of quantum energy’s reach in the classical physical world will change the way we see ourselves and the biosphere around us.
Does this seem too simple? The truth usually is, Dr. Lanza. I suspect you have considered this possibility and dismissed it because it doesn’t fit into what you “know” to be true, because it can’t be measured, because the implications are too complicated and profound. Through science, Civilization has invested a lot in disconnecting humanity from our species knowledge of the biosphere and our own nature. (If you like history, Michel Foucault has some stunning insights in his work.) Once one starts thinking in terms of quantum selves and evolutionary intelligence and balance, it becomes obvious why the artificial systems of modern civilization seem to be breaking down: the way we live in no way honors our evolutionary intelligence or the balance of the biosphere that created us as we created it. That we can adapt endlessly is a message of Civilization. Now that I recognize it, my quantum/intuitive self can feel the cost of our wrong-headedness, our long focus on the classical, material world at the expense of the balance of this entire interconnected energetic world.  This deep sense of knowing demands that I act, so here I am. When enough people feel this, the world will change. The biosphere will have a chance. Humanity will have a chance. If any living scientist is capable of discovering ways to reveal these truths, it’s you.
With love and luck,
Liz
