UG#529 - Unite and Conquer 1 (The Realisation of Unity)
Robin Upton , 11-12-2010 - 23:27

This week we question the reductionist science of the discrete and separate self. Our opening talk, by Paul Bloom, looks at research into the human moral sense, and presents findings which suggests that children even only a few months old are possessed of some kind of moral sense. We follow this up with a heartfelt talk from peace activist Brian Willson, on the need for US culture to break out of its self-imposed box and relate healthily with the world at large. Our major talk, by evolutionary biologist and gift economy activist, Elisabet Sahtouris, is a wide ranging one. She directly challenges reductionist models of evolution, preferring a holistic view, concluding that humanity is undergoing a change akin to the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly.

Manchester Airport on Trial - call out for court support - Mon. 6th December
Manchester Airport on Trial , 04-12-2010 - 12:25

In May 2010, seventeen people took direct action at Manchester Airport, temporarily shutting it down. They did this to stop some of the 5 million tonnes of carbon emissions that the airport is responsible for annually and in opposition to plans to destroy local homes and biodiversity spots to expand the World Freight Centre.

The seventeen defendants face two trials at Trafford Magistrates Court (M33 7NR). Come to court to show your support. Climate defence is not an offence
Trial 1 – Monday 6th December – Meet at 9am outside court.
