Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

It was for a long time my hypothesis that nearly everybody who supports the deep ecology movement would accept point 4 of the 8 points. Many were enthusiastic that such a dangerous point of view was stated explicitly. Others said that the 8 points should not contain an opinion about the main cause of the ecological crisis, or the main process to get the crisis reduced as soon as possible. They said that to mention the population issue as it is done in Point 4 inevitably makes people think that overpopulation is sorted out both to specify main cause and main remedy. To specify this was not my intention in 1973, when I pointed to unsustainable ways of production and consumption. The ecofeminist and social ecologist movements specialize in definite causes and remedies. (Mostly too narrowly, I feel. History is very complex and realistic remedies will be complex, the frontier is long.)

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
