Culture Nature Dualism

Anthropocene - capitalocene - culture-nature dualism
- Jason Moore
- Problem of mindset when it comes to the environment, racism, and
colonialism
- Culture nature dualism: notion that throughout history early modern
colonialism by empires have framed these people and tribes as primitive.

has been criticising

Adaptation
- Allowing a system to continuously evolve

tremendous status quo bias latent within the prevailing discourse of socio ecological
resilience (Jesse Keenan)
Smartness

device controlling space and time inside a linear logical process.

Segregation
