Care of humanity and of Earth and its ecosystems is the precondition for both justice and peace. Human beings, creatures, and plants are part of a web of life that depends on Earth for its sustenance. None are on Earth of their own choice.
As intelligent living beings gifted with a moral sense, humans share responsibility to help humans, animals, and Earth itself — its air, water, plants, trees — to flourish. Science, as the instrument of reason, should be dedicated to creating peace and justice, and therefore nurturing life in human societies, among nations, and in nature.
This approach stands in opposition to the war and militarism model, and to the market mentality that reduces life to the individual pursuit of material gain. The economy depends for its functioning on Earth’s ecosystems and social systems. Yet unrestrained greed, commodification, and consumerism are destroying ecosystems and rending societies by unjust, unsustainable inequality.
Peace, justice, and ecological sustainability are indivisible, and science must foster all three.

“The overall growth in arms sales of the Top 100 in 2017 was driven by increases in arms procurement spending by several states, in particular the United States and Russia,” the report’s authors wrote.
Total weapons sales by Russian firms came in second. For the first time, a Russian company appeared in the top 10 alongside European and American corporations. The arms sales of the 10 Russian companies amounted to $37.7 billion in 2017, which accounts for 9.5 percent of total top 100 arms sales.
A seminal document charting the disc-truction of CD audio well before the implosion of the mainstream music industry at large! Goodbye Backstreet Boys! Hello Rihanna!? Ibrahim
Bleak, dissociated monotron-ic drones and atmospheres from the living legend himself. Culture can only benefit from such a thorough trip through the rinse cycle. Dry clean only! Ibrahim
A modern classic that points towards the endless evolution of digital audio with even the most minimal means. If this doesn't inspire you then nothing will. Essential. Ibrahim
