Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Academic and Societal Implications - Octavio A. Chon Torres - Knihy Google
https://books.google.cz/books/about/Extraterrestrial_Intelligence.html?id=3Y6_zgEACAAJ&redir_esc=y

What are the implications for human society, and for our institutions of higher learning, of the discovery of a sophisticated extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) operating on and around Earth? This book explores this timely question from a multidisciplinary perspective. It considers scientific, philosophical, theological, and interdisciplinary ways of thinking about the question, and it represents all viewpoints on how likely it is that an ETI is already operating here on Earth. The bookâ (TM)s contributors represent a wide range of academic disciplines in their formal training and later vocations, and, upon reflection on the bookâ (TM)s topic, they articulate a diverse range of insights into how ETI will impact humankind. It is safe to say that any contact or communication with ETI will not merely be a game changer for human society, but will also be a paradigm changer. This means that it makes sense for human beings to prepare themselves now for this important transition

Frontiers | Toward a Taxonomy of Climate Emotions
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fclim.2021.738154/full

There is a growing evidence that emotions shape people's reactions to the climate crisis in profound but complex ways. Climate emotions are related to resilience, climate action, and psychological well-being and health. However, there is currently a lack of research about the array of various climate emotions. There is also a need for more integration with general research about emotions. This article conducts a preliminary exploration of the taxonomy of climate emotions, based on literature reviews and philosophical discussion. The term emotion is used here in a broad sense, as is common in climate emotion research. Because of the urgency of the climate crisis and the lack of previous research, this kind of exploration is aimed to be helpful for both practical climate work and for future research which would include more systematic reviews of the topic. Research items which discuss at least five different climate emotions, based on empirical observations, are used as major sources and a table about them is provided. Climate emotions are discussed on the basis of interdisciplinary research. The article considers many aspects of the phenomena of climate anxiety and climate grief.

(PDF) Thermodynamics of the Technosphere: Rethinking Temporality and Technicity in the Age of Planetary Emergency with Heidegger and Stiegler, pre-print | Pieter Lemmens - Academia.edu
https://www.academia.edu/44801625/Thermodynamics_of_the_Technosphere_Rethinking_Temporality_and_Technicity_in_the_Age_of_Planetary_Emergency_with_Heidegger_and_Stiegler_pre_print

This article critically reflects on Stiegler’s re-interpretation of Heidegger’s views on the relationships between existential temporality, the understanding of being and technology within the context of the latter’s notion of enframing, reconceptualized as an explicitly planetary phenomenon: the technosphere. Stiegler replaces Heidegger’s ontological conception with an organological one, arguing that the latter fails to understand these phenomena from the crucial perspective of thermodynamics, i.e., of the question of entropy and negentropy, which has never been addressed by Heidegger. What I particularly aim to show is that Stiegler’s organological re-intepretation of enframing as the technosphere and of existential temporality in terms of ‘quasi-causality’ (per Deleuze) may profit from being put in the broader, geothermodynamic context of Earth System Science, and considered from the perspective of Schneider & Sagan’s ‘gradient theory’, as being driven by what may be called the planetary ‘thermodynamic imperative’ with Jeffrey Wicken.

(PDF) Web 3.0 and The Web of Life. Attuning the Noosphere with (the Intelligences of) the Biosphere in the Context of the Anthropocene | Pieter Lemmens - Academia.edu
https://www.academia.edu/39613550/Web_3_0_and_The_Web_of_Life_Attuning_the_Noosphere_with_the_Intelligences_of_the_Biosphere_in_the_Context_of_the_Anthropocene

This article reflects on the future of the noosphere and the technosphere, i.e., the two inextricably connected anthropospheres
that have been added to the Earth’s biosphere and have become the defining geospheres of the Earth in what has been called the Anthropocene or the epoch of decisive human impact on the Earth system. Engaging with the work of Bernard Stiegler, Peter Sloterdijk, Timothy Morton, and David Abram among others, this paper argues for the need to attune the future techno-noosphere concretized at the moment with the emergence of Web 3.0, artificial intelligence, big data, and the so-called Internet of Things -- with the inherent intelligences and operativity of not only the biosphere or the ‘web of life’ but also the ethnosphere, so as to create a homeotic, i.e., a co-operative and co-constructive techno-noosphere that allows for genuine ecological coexistence on a future planet that will depend on the way it will be taken care of — or not — by humans who are themselves utterly dependent on the many non-human forces and residents of the planet
