In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, I look at biomimicry. Specifically how biomimicry can not only lead to nature-inspired design for architecture and materials, but also for better relationships, activism, and communities. I draw upon adrienne maree brown's emergent strategy in order to show that nature and the environment can show us how to best navigate a complicated social world.

    I know this video is multiple years old by now, but it is really good. Some of what you said reminds me of Murray Bookchin's writing in his essay "Ecology and Revolutionary Thought" which I'd highly recommend. Just as liberatory movements of the past were influenced by the scientific thought and advancements of their day (the era of the French Revolution being influenced by advances in mechanics and mathematics, Marx being influenced by advances in evolutionary and biological science), so too should our movements take influence from ecology as Adrienne Marie Brown points out. It also ended up being a chapter in his book Post-Scarcity Anarchism, which has some pretty mind blowing insights in it that are still relevant for revolutionary movements of today. Can't recommend it enough for people of every tendency.

And you still refuse to see it had to be created there is a designer behind everything. Massive amounts of digital coding for just a single cell.

I actually dont see the principle of biomimicry much different when talking about human culture although it´s obviously more fitting to our modern society. I dont know just an interesting thought

    Nature, by definition, is a computationally complex entity that exhibits "intelligent" behavior. A meta process orders of magnitude greater than our microcosmic human brains. Our tiny primate brains just don't have the computational capacity for humans to fully understand Nature in its entirety. There is so much to learn from Biological Nature that I feel our species all too often under-appreciates and disrespects. That is, I think humans are only capable of "local" improvements. But we don't even do that.

Not just superficial similarity. Also, fractals are not by definition self-similar, only a small subset of them are. By asserting that something has to work at small scale to be viable at larger scale to be a general truth, they have completely ignored the very concept of emergent properties for various levels of organization. This is a logical fallacy called reductionism. I could list a lot more inconsistencies from this video but I have better things to do.

But that is not true, is it - not for the trees shows that is. These are coniferous trees with albedo-induced warming effects that probably more than offset their cooling influences... since also the tree-covered ground around them is white snow (that reflects light out of the atmosphere and prevents it from getting trapped inside).
