The first Early Anthropocene proposal was advanced by U.S. geologist William Ruddiman, who argues that the Anthropocene started when humans began large-scale agriculture in various parts of the world between eight and five thousand years ago. Those activities, he believes, produced carbon dioxide and methane emissions that raised global temperatures just enough to prevent a return to an Ice Age.9
Other Early Anthropocene arguments suggest dating the Anthropocene from the first large-scale landscape modifications by humans, from the extinction of many large mammals in the late Pleistocene, from the formation of anthropogenic soils in Europe, or from the European invasions of the Americas in the 1500s. Some archeologists propose to extend the beginning of the Anthropocene back to the earliest surviving traces of human activity, which would take in much of the Pleistocene, and others have suggested that the entire Holocene should simply be renamed Anthropocene, since it is the period when settled human civilizations first developed.
This outpouring of proposals reflects humanity’s long and complex relationships with the earth’s ecosystems—many of the proposed beginnings are significant turning points in those relationships, and deserve careful study. (ibid)
關鍵是農業數千年以至晚近工業數百年作為一種生活方式給自然帶來的傷害和人的墮落
所以返璞歸真是回到農業以前的遊牧逐水草而居餐風露宿席地而臥(homeless cosmopolitan, a la Jerry Zaslove, 2000) (High Plains Drifter, Clint Eastwood, 1973) (and of course, Jack Reacher)
換句話說回到關外是唯一的路
而那座有名的萬里長牆恰恰就是holocene的象徵不是用來防關外蠻族南侵是用來擋牆裡順民脫北
依此漢民族的內心結構於農業群居一切人倫規矩皆順此馴化而來
景陽崗早已變成景點武松早已無虎可打大象和北極熊只能孤獨死在動物園犀牛只能是尤內斯庫筆下文學象徵不能活生生非洲戲水
而你告訴我
我們生活在偉大的當代文明每晚睡前要刷牙打砲以前要洗手成功的定義是貪污不要被抓到政治正確的人住在Fiddler's Green
以上說明holocene乃至anthropocene人不只糟蹋自然也彼此糟蹋
台灣無關外可回大家只能困在糞坑以踐踏異己墊高自己呼吸所謂新鮮空氣為樂
通常我們對時間的想像至多二三十年能想到半世紀以上已不得了遑論一世紀兩世紀三世紀以上但地質學告訴我們應該想一萬年這一萬年來人有甚麼變化甚麼其實根本沒有變化
自戀絕非1960才發生人的自我中心是造作之源惡之始順此自毀互毀共毀是必然的這說明了人之為生物實可惡可悲可笑可棄可厭簡而言之該死還要裝模作樣讀史要讀無名氏檯面上這些權貴名嘴屁眼你打算從他她們的那個小洞裡看到浩瀚星辰嗎
