Re: last boost about archaeology and people and empires
Reading that article combined with an email for the big national Climate Justice March has me musing on the relationship between modernist ideas of progress and the effectiveness of big, national protests.
Those modernist ideals are declining—it also brings to mind how Star Trek's high-minded modernist future seems nostalgic and quaint now, with a tinge of creepiness.
Newer modes of progress are going to be different. Protests too.

@MichaelTBacon modernism brought us the holocaust and scientific racism too, with a bit of luck 'newer modes' might be a bit more mindful of all that general categories of improvement can wreak in their wake

@oscarjiminy Yeah, it's why I used "newer modes" (plural) on purpose. To paraphrase Gibson-Graham, it's not just that another world is possible. Many worlds are possible, all at the same time.
