In this provocation, I investigate the notion of long term thinking, as a notion of ‘sustaining time’, which identifies failures in dominant conceptions of time and proposes an alternative that is thought to be better suited for responding to current environmental crises.

The term ‘affective politics’ is sometimes used to dismiss political strategies as being directed merely at affects at the expense of rational analysis (Massumi 2015: 65f). While such uses are meant to criticize certain politics, appeals to the affects – and consequently, forms of propaganda or populism – do not have to be bad at all. The point h…[Read more]

Dawkins felslutning – vederläggning av att “egoism” är den vanliga normen och att det bara finns “begränsade former av altruism” Till att börja med vill jag betona att “även bakterier är mer reproduktivt framgångsrika i närvaro av andra av sin egen art.” Jag menar att bakterier har anslutningsmöjligheter för guds skull!
