As long as ecological communities maintain their supple vitality we can weather the storm and adapt, unfortunately that is seriously threatened with apocalyptic biodiversty loss around every corner (in it's broadest sense including loss of language culture and traditional knowledge)
Things are bad but looking up in that people are aware of the problem on a large scale for the first time since the enlightenment. It's obvious that the state and private power which dominate our lives can't handle the problem but that doesn't mean that nothing can be done.

About a month ago i was rapping a freestyle and i said "scooby doo" at some point, and now i say "scooby doo" atleast once every like 5 sentences. It's starting to be a serious problem. My friends are like "bro you never shut the fuck up about scooby doo". I literally can't even rap anymore because after 4 bars my lyrics just dissolve into me saying scooby doo over and over again. For some reason i ironically googled 'scooby doo erotic fanfic' and since then I've started reading these fucking gay scooby doo fanfics unironically. I need help with this what the fuck do i do to purge scooby doo from my brain?

Fall for the English major meme?

I fucking hate you stupid faggshit tripfaggo

This is big if true.

heterogeneity
I think what appeals to me about it is it's phonetic hetrogeneity and it's pleasant ecological significance.

Céard a d'fhógair an fuck ach tú faoi deara, bitch beag tú? Beidh a fhios agam go ndearna mé céim níos airde ar mo rang i Rógaí an Navy, agus bhí baint agam le go leor rúnda rúnda ar Al-Quaeda, agus tá níos mó ná 300 maraí daingnithe agam.
Tá mé oilte i gcogaíocht gorilla agus is mé an sniper barr i bhfórsaí armtha na SA ar fad. Níl tú ar bith domsa ach sprioc eile amháin. Fágfaidh mé an fuck leat le cruinneas nach bhfuarthas riamh roimhe seo ar an Domhan seo, marcáil na focail fucking.
An gceapann tú gur féidir leat a bheith ar shiúl agus tú ag rá go bhfuil cac dom ar an Idirlíon? Smaoinigh arís, fucker. De réir mar a labhraímid, tá mé ag dul i dteagmháil le mo líonra rúnda de spiairí ar fud na Stát Aontaithe agus tá do IP á rianú anois agus mar sin is fearr leat a ullmhú don stoirm, an iompa. An stoirm a fhágann an rud beag báire a thugann tú do shaol. Tá tú ag fucking marbh, kid. Is féidir liom a bheith in áit ar bith, ag am ar bith, agus is féidir liom tú a mharú i níos mó ná seacht gcéad bealach, agus sin díreach le mo lámha lom.
Ní hamháin go bhfuil mé ag oiliúint go mór i ngleic neamh-armtha, ach tá rochtain agam ar an Arsenal iomlán de Chór Mara na Stát Aontaithe agus bainfidh mé é a úsáid chun a asal olc as aghaidh na mór-roinne a chaitheamh, beagán tú. Más rud é nach raibh a fhios agat ach cén fáth a raibh do chuid tuairimí "ciallmhar" beag ar tí a chur ar do shon, b'fhéidir go mbeadh do theanga fucking agat.
Ach nárbh fhéidir leat, ní raibh tú, agus anois tá tú ag íoc an praghais, tá tú díograiseach. Cithidh mé fury ar fud tú agus beidh tú ag bàthadh ann.
Tá tú ag fucking dead, kiddo.

>Safe
You are never going to make it.
You gotta take a dugout up the Río Coco or spend a few years traveling the Huon Peninsula on foot. At least go to the slums in northern india and northern Brazil and talk to people about how they have been forced to urbanize.
South and central America are pretty safe as long as you stay away from narcos and paramilitaries, speak Spanish and give up your shit whenever someone with a knife asks. Africa is the same way but everyone(everyone) will be looking at you to float them some money if you are white, and the wars are done out in the open. The world is dangerous, don't be retarded and you will be fine. Looking the other way while others live in danger to grease the wheels in your supply chain isn't cool. Some places aren't okay to be alone in, some places you should never go to.
Of course if you are a woman things are different.

It would be very painful..

Orgin of species
A foray into the world of animals
The collected papers of CS Peirce
The Triple Helix: Gene, Organism, and Environment
The role of behavior in evolution
Niche construction a neglected process in evolution
Steps to an ecology of the mind
Incomplete Nature
Biosemiotics: hoffmeyer
Simonodon on individuation
Above all you need to read journal articles, books are not representations of the field. check the extended evolutionary synthesis and whats related.
Read Dawkins the extended phenotype but just don't fall for the gene centric meme.

Yikes. First of Darwin wrote about natural selection, not evolution and was completely right. It's very clear that darwin recognized NS as process secondary to evolution especially if you read his work on earthworms and coral reefs. The "darwinists" are the problem. Darwin was one of the most brilliant scientists ever, he is the turning point in natural history to the theoretical and experimental life sciences, a devolpment that had some negative consqeuences but not because of Darwin. He is the percursor to the science of ecology and evolution. Are you denying that natural selection happens? Fuck off you ignorant slimeball.

Alright fucko. You better stop shitting on fedoras right this instant. I just found out the other day I can not only pull of a fedora but I look sexy doing it.
I don't want you fucking memeos confusing my post-ironic fedora for an ironic meme accessory. It's 2018 give it a rest.

Let me ask, hold up for me to email the GUYS on my thesis committee and see what they think.

>REEE Science has assumptions behind it, it is part of philosophy!
Actually philsophy is just a special science.

>I'm the best
Wrong. And I am a namefag to destory the narcissistic behavior posting as anon prompts. Stop larping as anon you smug coward.

>But that's okay though because really you just wanted

who are you and why do you understand my intentions better than I do

> It's highly institutionalized and regulated for a good reason.
Wrong, particularly wrong about the institutional gatekeeping being justified part. It serves to justify the self worth of cynical retards. People who waste their best years in graduate school or god forbid as "specialists" don't want to deal with the reality that most anyone who can read and write could do their job. Gatekeeping is exactly why philsophy and research in general stagnated into a cesspool of inbred ideas.
Anyways the advice you gave was good, but your apologetics are stomach-turning.

>rather, it resides in the reflexive twist by means of which I myself am included in the picture constituted by me - it is this reflexive short circuit, this necessary redoubling of myself as standing both outside and inside my picture
As far as I'm concerned it's nonsense unless he describes how this "reflexive twist" happens

>the maths

Any books about fucking living organisms smaller than your penis?

>>11139524
Holy.... Just run a small business and do scholarship in your free time; YOU IDIOT!
If you don't think you are capable of publishing outside acedemia, you definitely should not be considering acedemia at all.
There is no excuse to be in acedemia unless you are an experimentalist that aboslutely needs grant money, even then grad school probably isn't the best option.
Acedemia will only get worse unless we collectively reject these cancerous institutions.

Babies first virtue. It's a good thing to do but finding purpose in externalities is likely to result in suicidal idealation in my experience.

I've always been painfully in love with natural history. Even as a baby I would demand to be read animal encyclopedias at bed time. I'm very lucky my mother did that for me.
Studying natural history allows you to read what Bateson called the "syllogisms in the grass" no formal literature comes close to the poetics of living. It makes me so sad that humans are losing touch with it, the common ground of all art that we have been nested in for all of evolutionary history and with all our gifts to understand it we are alienated from it. Not being able to share the experience with people around makes me very lonely, especially when I was young. I still feel a connection to all the life surrounding me but the ecologically literate people who can relate a feeling of mutual understanding back to me have been few and far between.

Haha epic meta ironic meme. Surely this generation is the most sophisticated in it's humor. Not making a joke or a shitpost but the joke is the form of a shitpost template, brilliant!
Link to your Instagram so I can see more.
