Not Greek (my name!) but sort of wish I was. Much more to come pretty soon. I'll get back to you in next day or so. Promise!
Hi, let me come back to you in the next day re philosophy, Canada. Symi is on the very edge of Europe. I can see Turkey from my window (I live about 1,000 feet above sea level) and could swim out of the EU. Today very heavy rain has returned to this very arid island. Normally this wouldn't matter, but we had such a wet winter! In the meanwhile here's a placeholder:
@iankenway Somehow we moderns have largely corrupted the word philosophy to mean something fuzzy to do with morals and maybe some navel gazing.
Really, it was the original science of everything. Our 'science' got branched off into Natural Philosophy and that's the only bit most peope care about today.
Thanks for your comments which were genuinely appreciated. Apart from the pre-Socratics, I'm also interested in the relationship between philosophy, neuroscience and quantum physics
"When food waste is buried in a landfill, it is not able to decompose naturally with oxygen the way it does in nature. This anaerobic decomposition creates methane, and methane is 20-30 times more heat-trapping than carbon dioxide, which is the natural byproduct of decomposition."
"Landfills are a top source of methane . . . and when we convert food waste into compost and add it to soils, it's a win-win for the climate because increasing organic matter in soils is now recognized as one of the most important things we can do for stemming climate change in the short term."

Misery loves company ;-)

Aboriginals in Australia have won a ground-breaking case that paves the way for billions of dollars in compensation claims for colonial land loss, as well as loss of spiritual connection.
The High Court of Australia ruled in favor of the Ngaliwurru and Nungali groups from the Northern Territory in the biggest ‘native title’ ruling on indigenous rights to traditional land and water in decades on Wednesday.
It said the Northern Territory government was to pay $2.53mn in damages to the Ngaliwurru and Nungali groups for an earlier federal court ruling which found the NT government “extinguished” their native title rights when they built infrastructure on their land in the 80s and 90s. https://www.rt.com/news/453929-aboriginal-high-court-ruling-compensation-win/?fbclid=IwAR2OxHLitTYuSymLAr7Hg2tXbZn47RzKQjNN1i8SrJ-L_szXhEwYpjZc4kE
