Nature is a racist concept

I've read a bit of it, I think it relates to treeshagging. The idea that we put these lines between us and nature, but in reality they don't exist.

I don't understand the uncanny Valley bit but I'm not familiar with that concept.

This intrigued me the other day re: the Nazis;

"The Third Reich is remarkable as an advanced nation administering genocide. A lesser historian would have made a book about the genocide by studying the victims. But look at this index. Grunberger knew that if you are engaging the Holocaust, you study the sociality of the Aryans.

If you are serious about addressing racism in the United States, you don't need Black hero stories, you need to do a deep dive into the cultural and sociopathology of the Whites.

A book about the Holocaust only needs one little chapter at the end about the Jews because the story is the cultural formation, churches, music, literature, conceptions of justice, gender, and civil service normalized among the Aryans."

It's a reasonable point, but calling ethnic Germans 'Aryans' is pretty weird.

OK so i think I get it. It's like vanity of small differences, frenemies or something. When things are very close to us, we get all itchy. Like homo sapiens having to do neanderthals?

Yes and no

Uncanny value sets are where it takes that extra microsecond to compute a category, a file folder, before “oh right”. It can apply to place, event, process, far more broad that race which was my contention with the original statement making disjointed leaps. Fisher’s book on the weird and eerie gets into aspects, outstanding too

I suppose one group brutally dominating another because its technology allows it to is a different proposition from what you could almost call sibling rivalry among similar ethnic groups, though (the Indian/Pakistan thing).

Yes this is a good way to put it. Like there's obviously a race element going on in what you said, but it's different to what I meant.

I think we need more than this interview with the guy, cos it doesn't make sense. Sheils has to give us something better.

I sort of intuitively like the idea. It sounds like a way to decentre the human?

I think with climate change we are really trying to find a way to legitimately get rid of loads of people cos it's clear the ship is sinking.

That said, I probably deserve a slap for describing Indian people "an" ethnic group.

Scarring. You see it a lot with new staff and breaking them in - self harming cut scars, needle jabs, fucked veins and scabs, cig burns, accident scars, facial scars, fire burns, amputation stumps, abscesses gone wrong over and over

How people react bypasses uncanny. The time it takes to conceal noticing is too long for the scarred individual to notice the lingering retraction

Most people I’ve known adjust and say their scars make them tougher and it’s hard to disagree
