Let's talk about #CognitiveBiases and #denial of reality as a cause of #CivilizationCollapse.

Civilization collapse is a phenomenon that occurs when a complex human society disintegrates and loses its cohesion, identity, and functionality. There are many possible causes of

civilization collapse, such as natural disasters, war, famine, disease, trade disruption, resource depletion, and social inequality. However, one factor that is often overlooked or underestimated is the role of human psychology in shaping our perception and response to these

challenges. In this thread, I will argue that cognitive biases and denial of reality are significant contributors to civilization #collapse because they #impair our ability to recognize, understand, and solve the problems that threaten our existence.

🗣️ Stéphane Hessel | Résistant

« Ne pensez pas que la France était résistante.
« La résistance était une petite fraction de la France.
« La France était vichyste, dans sa grande majorité.
« Donc si aujourd'hui, beaucoup des gens baissent les bras, faut pas s'en étonner.

« Il suffit qu'il y ait une minorité active, solide, des jeunes qui en veulent, qui considèrent que l'engagement ça signifie quelque chose et qu'ils ont une responsabilité.
« Eh bien ils n'ont pas besoin d'être majoritaire...

In our @LancetMicrobe paper we report 671 Mtb genomes 🧬from 391 patients with drug #resistant #tuberculosis in KwaZulu-Natal South Africa sampled over 6 years.

We screened for resistance to #bedaquiline, a drug now central to effective #TB treatment.

➡️tinyurl.com/y5zapnbk
We found ~4% of patients harboured #Mtb with variants in genes known to mediate #resistance to bedaquiline/clofazimine.

Phylogenetic analyses show repeated & independent acquisitions of resistance variants, including onward transmission of resistant strains across South Africa.
Bedaquiline is a reasonably new, but now cornerstone, drug in the fight against #DRTB.

The lack of routine #bedaquiline susceptibility testing may allow these #resistant strains to continue to spread, unwatched, posing further significant challenges to #TB treatment & control.

I was writing a rebuttal to Dr Grum’s article “The Case for GMOs” @Ethiobserver . But I have to break my silence as some people, out of their utter ignorance, are relentlessly making ad hominem attacks on #GMO opponents. #Ethiopia
You can search “@kebyes GMO” so that you will learn how enthusiastic I am about the issue. Unlike others who are bashing every opinion/evidence, I like to ask questions first. That is how you learn. So please ask before resorting to attacks, PEOPLE. #Ethiopia
