Ecosystem Services- Should 'essential variables' serve special interest groups first?

Essential variables as standard candles for measuring ecosystem content need be independent and free of tayloring to special interest groups. The paradigm of satisfying stakeholders as special interest groups could generate ecospherically counterfactual data in regard to the best interests of humanity in its ecosphere. Humans probably should learn new building and living economic methods rather than perpetuate the system that is processing the ecosphere toward oblivion. Present neccessary ecosystem services should be viewed as temporary measure utilized until the new paradigm of living synergetically with the ecosphere is actualized.

Yet not of it (poem)

 

Wandering the streets of time
cluttered with canisters
of mythic electrons
mud brick homes
aging dust of the world
sights sounds, mysteries
known and unknown
with troubles of inefficiencies
ecosystem servicing
allocations of everything
packaged, priced, calculated proplits
transversal rules for deposits-
the lines compile nothingness softly
with bar-coded rainbows
layered and striated
Meisner-infused sandwiched
talus slopes tumbling
dimensions falling apart
with nightfall within sagebrush
until shadows return
to silence.

Spy Balloon Vector Threats version 2

 The 'spy balloon' meandering at 60,000 feet over the U.S. is said by the Pentagon to be from China. It is a threat only insofar as it demonstrates a good position to release biological war vectors into the United States from above. Maybe a new variant of Covid 19 is being released in tiny caplets that survive descent and release on the ground, or some sort of weaponized pneumonic-plague-ebola hybrid. The Pentagon says it's not a threat.

China said that the sort of balloon observed couldn't survive the trip from China. Several China experts have denied that China released the balloon and that it probably was released by a commercial boat for weather observation. Apparently the balloon was under observation for several days traveling along the Aleutians and over Canada until reported hovering menacingly above Montana. The Pentagon said it is too dangerous to civilians to take down the balloon over populated areas; if that is the case why didn't they take it down several days ago over the ocean or the wilderness regions of the north? If it is releasing weaponized viruses or other advanced technology such as nano-gremlins to float on the currents to the ground the President feels it does not warrant capturing the balloon to see what's inside. They refuse to unbox the balloon and let the public know what's inside.

Those of the opinion the balloon isn't Chinese imply the balloon is a false flag stunt or propaganda tool of the Biden administration to intimidate Americans with a real Chinese threat invading hillbilly regions of the U.S. President Biden may need help for Americans to be made to believe that he is in good form on U.S. national security.

That Paragraph on Ecosystem Services

 An ecosystems services approach for governance of the ecosphere does seem somewhat reductionist missing out on conservation of wilderness values. Erosion of wilderness brings irrecoverable damage to the ecosphere. It should be possible anyway to have better and more accurate data on species living on Earth quantifiably speaking with drones and cell samples mapping all living species in an area. Drones and remote sensing with computational tabulating should be much better than simply measuring water and land biota quantitatively- The latter is rather crude although better than ignorance of course. Satellites are great surveillance devices and provide wonderful data in a variety of spectrums however they should be complimented with drones. Every living thing on Earth should be quantified as well as Noah knew the number of animals on his boat. There should be real time numbers for every living species to monitor there status. One might have the suspicion that ecosystem services could otherwise end up being a tool for capitalists to learn how to extract the most value from ecosystem services even as it declines overall.

Stocking Shelves (the poem)


Stocking shelves of poems with thought
salads of furies
with metaphors bought
wrangled misty cereal aisles
one crunch miffs another one’s style

Ice cream sailing ship root beer floats
inflated bread of yeasty jokes
scribbled lists cover stockers woke

Stanza’s reigned to low pressure cisterns
Ali Babas fed with magic beans
skyfalls drop to mulch units earned
more heavily flopped coordinated tat skeens

Paragraphs draw new air to the sea
surfaces shine as if meant to be.
