"What we have to say matters less than what we have learned in thinking with the Indigenous people and their knowledge forms." ppesydney.net/how-to-write-a…
"For non-Indigenous scholars, there is a constant need to be alert to the possibilities of reproducing colonial power structures and epistemic frameworks while engaged in knowledge production."
"The only way out of this conundrum is to constantly learn from Indigenous voices and epistemologies and be sensitive to structural inequities and epistemic injustices that have marred the academe."
"It is not adequate to merely provide nodding acknowledgement to the idea of environmental justice. Interrogating the colonial and settler colonial structures within environmental movements must be a continuous process."

"The back loop is the time of the ‘Long Now,’ when each of us must become aware that he or she [or they] is a participant." (C. S. Holling, 2004, p. 5)
"[T]o inhabit the back loop can mean to belong to it, to have one’s own place within it, to be familiar, comfortable, & involved with it, rather than fighting against or living in fear of it. A habitual, everyday act of free creation & building: a peace within shifting terrain."
"Faced with the unfeasibility of the modern ‘technosphere’ and attendant infrastructures that prop up a highly variegated and unequal modern life, humans today need to ask how else might we feed ourselves, obtain clean drinking water, protect ourselves from the elements?"

I would really love to hear from people who are doing regenerative agriculture and/or permaculture about how they feel/think about this critique: culturalsurvival.org/news/whitewash…
In particular, I’d love to know what @cognazor and @RizomaSchool think about the idea that perm and regen ag is “whitewashing” and cultural theft.

For me, I agree wholeheartedly with embracing relational and decolonized ways of being and doing, but is it really this simple?
I don’t think it’s productive to attempt to shame people doing permaculture and regenerative agriculture in the way the authors seem to do.

Sure, these discussions are valuable & necessary, but are we really trying to get all people everywhere to adopt indigenous ways of being?

Sensation that activates perception is the necessary condition for synthetic judgement, but not visa versa. Judgment can fail when perception is distorted, but not visa versa (as in the case of brain injury). Therefore sapience supervenes on sentience. Take that #Kant.
To have the power of reason means to be able to revise
one’s beliefs in light of reasons, or in other words, to be able to bring one’s beliefs under active existential control. But the grounding relations characteristic of perception lack this quality.
Perceptual relations are not freely revisable, as optical illusions demonstrate: I may know my perception is inaccurate and yet be unable to correct it.

"Humanism is distinguished by the implicitly affirmative attitude of construction. Insofar as the kitsch Marxism resignation implies an abandonment of the project of humanism and a collapse into regressive passivity...
..., we can say that kitsch Marxism’s refusal to both resign and to construct is tantamount to a position that is neither passive nor humanist." @NegarestaniReza
"Indeed, this “neither/nor” approach signifies nothing but a project of active antihumanism that kitsch Marxism is in reality committed to—despite its pretensions to a commitment to human."
