Small Premise for the Crowlocene

If, according to Haraway (2016), the “Chthulucene must collect up the trash of the Anthropocene, the exterminism of the Capitalocene, and (…) make a much hotter compost pile for still possible pasts, presents and futures” (pp.57 emphasis added) then surely, we need not to look down, but up? We either no longer or desperately need a forever that is intrinsically and paradoxically nevermore, swooping and diving up into and through flux. For if we keep drilling down, we'll keep looking down, feeling down falling down, falling as symptomatic to human existence, flying as inherently not –

We need to look up. We need to be up. We need to get up and cry out. We need crow. We need a Crowlocene. 

The typecasting of human as bad guy is now played out - Haraway and Morton understand this - therefore the era of the Anthropocene is not correct, but the era of Cthulucene is too down, down in the dumps,

(trickles of toxic chemicals running off landfills)

The Capitalocene is all extermination, all incineration, burning, drilling, digging, down, down, down.

We need a new scene, a new cene. We need the Crowlocene.

What are the pillars of the Crowlocene? This epoch is characterised by a resistance of downward motions, metaphorically. It is known for its determinism in taking-off, swooping upwards, looking up and around, flying out of our frameworks, conceptually speaking, as of course literal flying, in aeroplanes, is widely known as a social faux pas in the Crowlocene.
