Ecological disaster, like "the Bomb", is a figure that demands a radically new way of thinking, a new language. If, in the case of "the Bomb", science seemed to have gifted humans mastery over global annihilation, in the case of ecological apocalypse, it indicates the limits of human mastery and knowledge. A fundamental crisis, which goes to the roots of our being on the planet. Why, then, does it result in such paralysis of thought? Why does it tend to yield only a reaffirmation of existing choices? Why does it produce such fearful nihilism, or despairing resignation? Why is it as though the species has just been given x months to live and reacts by doing everything on its bucket list: hence, perhaps, partially, the unleashing of long-checked reactionary desires, from Trump to Bolsonaro?
