Symbiocene Our Only Future with Dr. Glenn A. Albrecht
Manage episode 421308525 series 2775101
Glenn A. Albrecht is an Honorary Associate in the School of Geosciences, The University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. He retired as Professor of Sustainability, at Walter Murdoch University, in mid-2014. He continues to work as an environmental philosopher and published a book, Earth Emotions, with Cornell University Press in 2019. Earth Emotions was published in French and Spanish in 2020 and in Dutch in 2024. In numerous publications and public talks over the last two decades, Dr Albrecht has developed the theme of the psychoterratic (psyche-earth), or negative and positive emotional states connected to the state of the Earth. New concepts, developed by him, are now becoming well-established in the international scholarly literature, new research theses, and as inspiration for many creative people in the arts and music. While he is best known for creating the concept of solastalgia, or the lived experience of negative environmental change, his most recent work develops the mega-meme of the 'Symbiocene', a future state where humans re-integrate with the rest of nature. A book of that title should be completed by the end of 2024. He currently lives at Blackheath on Gundungurra land in the Blue Mountains of NSW, Australia. Glenn Albrecht, an environmental philosopher, discusses the concepts of psychoterratic, solastalgia, and the symbiocene. He emphasizes the importance of developing new language and concepts to describe the emotional and psychological states connected to the state of the Earth. Albrecht believes that the current language used in sustainability and eco-literacy is inadequate and easily misused. He introduces the concept of the symbiocene, a future state where humans reintegrate with the rest of nature, as a paradigm shift from the Anthropocene. He sees symbiosis as the foundation for life and a key to creating a better future. Glenn emphasizes the need to focus on the practical application of symbiosis in order to shift away from extractive and exploitative economic practices. He highlights the importance of transdisciplinary thinking and breaking down disciplinary boundaries to understand the value of life and the need for harmony with all living beings. Glenn discusses the potential for using biotechnology, such as mycelium-based coffins and mycelium bricks, as sustainable alternatives to current technologies. He envisions a future where everything we use can be returned to the cycles of life and where the joy of life and positive Earth emotions are nurtured.
