Diese Welt ist so wunderschön
aber
wir Menschen sind es oft nicht

This world is so beautiful
but
we humans are often not

You know if you think about it properly then we humans are really disgusting blighters with our flabby mouths doing weird noises and ongoing chemistry experiment in our stomachs and sooooo baby ways to ooze and leak fluids of various consistencies.

Pre Orders for 1001 Accurate Memories Now Open

From traumatic memory culture to learning with bodies

https://www.alexhead.com/bookstore

In 1001 Accurate Memories Berlin artist Alex Head presents patterns of self-repair amongst the ruins of ideas, relationships and human bodies. The author travels across space and time attempting to gain insights into class, disability and trauma through drawing, writing and photography. His investigation into traumatic memory tempts the author to suggest a shift from Germany’s professed ‘memory culture’ to a ‘traumatic memory culture’, in that traumatic memory is greatly more accurate. 

Consequently, 1001 Accurate Memories seeks to locate the reader back within their own skin by highlighting our differentiated but ultimately shared anatomy. 

Birthed from a seven year odyssey into blood, guts and tears, the work proposes that sensations in the body begin wider processes of understanding. By identifying the value of listening to the body in this way, the interpretative role of the human brain becomes more apparent. From this insight stems the ability to see trauma, memory and political propaganda as forms of easily manipulated emotional information. This leads Head to conclude that the primary way to counter such manipulation is the spiritual, physical and mental self-determination of the human body.

There are no special giveaways for pre ordering. The goal is to increase the print run from 100 to 150/200 copies. Each sale creates proportionally more and more copies!

A new piece¹ of the puzzle: bonobos #language complexity, more structured than expected. The myth of a separate #human language according to Martinet’s double articulation, is nextdoor.

“It isn’t just that the planet is overheating, the environment falling apart, poisons spreading globally, the decline of food, fresh water, soil, forests and a dying ocean. It isn’t just overpopulation, weapons of mass destruction, pollution, pandemics, out-of-control technologies, growing inequity and misinformation.

#Mexico reports first #human case of #H5N1 #birdflu, https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/mexico-reports-first-human-case-h5n1-bird-flu-2025-04-04/

Mexico has detected its first human case of H5N1 avian influenza, also known as bird flu, the health ministry said on Friday.
The infection was confirmed on Tuesday in a three-year-old girl living in the northern state of #Durango, who remains hospitalized in serious condition.

Most people think that #evolution is about dying, but it's not really the full story. It's also about not being born at all. What if people are actually evolving under the extreme pressure of the modern capitalism? The question remains - is humanity under active eugenics and they are selecting us to be their submissive cattle or are we evolving some immunity to the parasites?

Are the few people who do have children under those terrible conditions the ones who treasure their wholesome relationships over career or those who thrive as the slaves? I don't think it's actually being studied in this context. It feels creepy to even put those questions on the table.

Nevertheless, I think that humanity after the full societal collapse will be different from Homo Sapiens. We have reached the limit of that evolutionary plateau. 300k years was a good run. Good Game people! Cheers!
