Sound on for this one. Great message Ellie M.. Reminds me of an article I read recently about dinosaurs and dynasties. It talked about how and why we describe a time when dinosaurs ruled the planet. "The entire reason we so often fixate on the supposed dominance of the dinosaurs is because we now see ourselves in that position. For more than a century, the decimation of the ‘ruling reptiles’ has been taken as a cautionary tale of what could happen to us – not all that different from pundits who cry that the United States is set to topple like the Roman Empire. The narrative becomes one of power, influence and longevity, one group of organisms above all others deciding the course of entire ecosystems over the span of millions of years. Mass extinctions become examples of winners and losers. Where Tyrannosaurus rex and family faltered, the story goes, our mammalian relatives were victorious. The story says more about the way we interpret the past than what actually transpired; by creating a fairly-tale out of a distant prehistoric event, we’ve inflated our sense of importance in the world." "T rex existed as part of an ecosystem, both shaped by and shaping the world around it. The dinosaur could even be said to have been an ecosystem unto itself, a living animal that harboured parasites and bacteria in and outside its body (just like us). The dinosaur was large, impressive and no doubt ferocious, but it was also a living thing at the intersection of various ecological connections. To say the dinosaur ‘ruled’ anything is ridiculous, a form of fossiliferous individuality that ignores broader communities. We’ve often ignored these threads in favour of simplicity, as if each surviving species were pitted against each other in a neverending battle for survival." It goes on to talk about why every part of the natural system is important. "Every fossil bone we uncover and carefully cradle in a museum grew from nutrition derived from other forms of prehistoric life; and those food sources, in turn, built their tissues from plants that took up essential components from the soils, enriched by the decay of yet other creatures that came before. Wherever we find life, one existence touches another, enmeshed and setting the conditions for what might appear tomorrow." I found this a thoroughly enjoyable read. https://lnkd.in/evXWcyXS

#DidWeGaveUpOnEarthAlready ⁉ 🌎 🚀 This video showed up 4 weeks ago in my feeds and I have no research about its source. But the way the music acts it looks like a glorification of the "multi-planetary species" -- I love this idea -- but NOT BY SACRIFICING OUR WONDERFUL PLANET EARTH, diba? So did we gave up on Earth already? #humanrespectcrisis #interplanetary #earth #extinction #extinctionstrategies https://lnkd.in/g7htwbMi

🏆 2 Time Guinness World-Record Holder | 🌎 International Keynote Speaker | 📚 Author of Two Best-Selling Books | 🧗🏻 CEO of The World's #1 Corporate Adventure Programs
We've spent 89 days exploring one of the most remote and hostile places on Earth, Antarctica. We were with met many hardships such as blizzards, crevasses, frostbite, hypothermia, snow blindness, and a bunch of other challenges. And what I've learned is that our external environments can be volatile but we can control our output. It's not about what happens to us, it's about how we react and respond. So if you're feeling challenged, remember that you have the power to overcome anything. Just stay focused on your goal and keep moving forward. 💪 How about you? What challenges are you facing? How are you overcoming them? #growthmindset #nevergiveup💪 #exploreyourpotential #postivemindset #adventurelearning #inspiringstories #keynotespeaker
