“Radicalism which has become revolt, revolution,” he wrote, “is reactionary in its very essence, for in destroying it leads not to the advancement but to the regression and reduction of life.”

A 2020 Rockefeller Foundation document outlines a plan to transform America’s food system using the COVID-19 crisis as the pretext.
The document, called “Reset The Table: Meeting the Moment to Transform the U.S. Food System,” was released shortly after the World Economic Forum (WEF) announced its Great Reset agenda months after COVID-19 was declared a national emergency.
“While Covid-19 and the resulting economic downturn made the negative consequences of the food system worse and more obvious, the pandemic did not create them and its end will not solve them. Covid-19 has, however, increased both the imperative and the opportunity to address these flaws and limitations once and for all. Now is the moment to transform the U.S. food system,” the document states.
Woke Lancet Announces ‘Medical Urgency’ of Climate Change
ROME — The once-venerable UK Lancet medical journal is charging ahead in its climate change crusade, proclaiming “the ethical and medical urgency of the climate crisis” in its latest issue.
After calling climate change the “biggest global health threat of the 21st century” earlier this month, the Lancet has now praised “health-care professionals participating in Extinction Rebellion action [who] blocked the entrance to the UK’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to protest about impotent responses to climate change.”

Agamben: Philosophy of nature
Once science was identified as the "Philosophy of Nature" and people like Goethe who were interested in science, philosophy and literature were considered the highest expression of intelligence. Today science has turned towards an ever greater specialization which has undoubtedly led to enormous technical-scientific advances. These are two radically divergent paths. What do you recommend to those young students and researchers who are taking their first steps in the world of science today?
An important moment in the history of the West is when philosophy realizes that it can no longer exercise control over science, because science has become completely independent from it. In Kant this is perfectly clear and his philosophy represents the last attempt to maintain a relationship with science, placing itself as a doctrine of knowledge capable of setting limits to possible experience. I do not believe that today something like this is among the tasks of philosophy. The relationship between thought and science is not played on the level of knowledge. Philosophy is not only not a science, but neither can it be resolved into a doctrine of knowledge, which, moreover, science has shown that it has no need. Philosophy is always ethical, it always implies a form of life. But this is true for every single man and therefore also for every scientist who does not want to give up being a human being. Of course, scientists have shown that they are ready to unscrupulously sacrifice ethics to the interests of science, otherwise we would not have seen illustrious scientists use deportees to Nazi concentration camps for their experiments. What I would remind a young man taking his first steps in science is to never sacrifice an ethical principle to his own will to know.
Resistance
You spoke of the need to develop new forms of resistance. What do you mean? Can you give us some examples?
I am a philosopher and not a strategist. Of course, a clear awareness of one's situation is the first condition for finding a way out. I can only add that I do not believe that the way out today necessarily passes, as has perhaps been believed for too long, through a struggle for the conquest of power. There can be no good power - and therefore no good state either. We can only, in an unjust and false society, attest to the presence of the right and the true, we can only, in the middle of hell, testify of heaven.
