Today is the 5th anniversary of David Graber's death. 

And with everything happening in the world, his work is now more relevant than ever before.

Very excited for this to finally be published!! As someone who will soon graduate with a PhD in Environmental Intelligence (EI), it has always been difficult to explain what EI is.

And first up @elisj.bsky.social kicks us off. Do we need a philosophy of marine science? He starts with the sense that there is no such thing as β€œmarine science”… Whatever we take this to mean by that, do we need a specific philosophical approach/approaches to it?
