If I were to imagine no Republicans, where every presidency were Democrats like Obama or Biden or Hillary Clinton or Kamala, one after the next, when it came to defending our access to these resources, to fighting for our supremacy over them in relation to other people, they're very eager to do this.

And while we might hurdle toward climate collapse at a slower rate, we'd be hurting.
podcast-host
Hurdling none the same.
podcast-host
And I also think of you saying in one talk about climate collapse, that maybe the heat is the solution, that maybe after all, the carbon we've put in the atmosphere over centuries, what has arrived is the solution, but it's not won by us.

The Aboriginal writer Alexis Wright, when we talked on the show, in her latest novel, The Extreme Weather Event.

And lastly, I think of something the Nigerian trickster philosopher Bayo Okomalafe said when he was on.
podcast-host
He was talking about visiting Shango's rock in Brazil, where according to the guide,

slaves practised fugitivity.
podcast-host
They would run through this crack in the rock toward freedom, that once you were on the other side you were free.
podcast-host
and how afterwards one of his travelling companions said, I don't think they were running toward freedom, but toward indeterminacy.
podcast-host
And Bio said to me about this, quote
podcast-host
Freedom presupposes you know where you're going, but that certitude is a function of the plantation.
podcast-host
The plantation is a GPS system, more than just a defined location, the plantation is a posture in the world.
podcast-host
The plantation did not cease to exist when slavery was abolished.
podcast-host
It persisted in our postures, in the ways that we think about power, and the ways that we think about freedom.
podcast-host
So freedom is still an imaginary of the plantation.
podcast-host
It's indeterminacy that they ran towards, it's not knowing where they were going, but knowing they had to run.
podcast-host
that's much more upsetting to the vicissitudes and the vocations and the machinations of the plantation, that we must stay with the cracks.
podcast-host
And it reminds me of the lines in triage: The collapse is within the life within.
