Can we help the whistle blowers, the shy, and confidential transparency? Government is increasing in both obvious corruption and forced invasion of public privacy. Because of this, the timid can bow out of discourse on the important issues. This is a problem. Can’t the meek hide behind the bold and still be heard? We can create a certain level of ambiguity on the digital side in a simple way. Decide openly, as part of community, to choose an undeclared combination of practices:
- Random cell-phone swapping or sharing.
- Random lap-top sharing.
- Random computer sharing.
- Make a practice of leaving your home or office open or unlocked with computers on logged in and ready to go. You can even invite others with a sign if you so choose.
- When appropriate, allow random people to use your name or your log-in
- Randomly, refuse to disclose information so as to maintain your right to privacy.
At any given time your digital communications can be yours, your friends, or it could be someone random on the train, store, or far away. Willful transparency and sharing can help. This is true on your devises and those of others who openly associate with the idea. At the least the strategy achieves a general community rather than individual authorship and thus empowers people. Its not much, but with others’ ideas it can be something.

I don't believe in destroying what is here today. I believe in building a future that outperforms and solved inadequacies and failures of present and the past.
My driving intent and focus goes to empower the agrarian reality. I dream of and believe in the need for agrarian renaissance.
Agrarians are those rooted and sustained by the local landscape and community.
I believe that through agrarian success, the world can see a major shift in the human inflicted global ecological effect. We can see a symbiotic future that embraces, feeds on, and promotes ecological and cultural diversity. We can see people, through the natural living of their lives, effecting a rapidly regenerating global environment and reversal of longstanding global desertification.
Since we can, we should. Social engineering? well kind of, yeah. It is intelligent strategic paradigm development. Our civilizational paradigm tends to orient any and all diverse cultures to effect environmental harm/footprint. Therefore, we need to reorient the paradigm to naturally effect regenerative and symbiotic relationships with nature instead.
Agrarian society is in free fall as the paradigm orients cultures and societies around global financial economy with built in rewards and penalties (remember agrarian by definition is place and community oriented).
I believe it is not only possible but crucial to resuscitate and accentuate the infrastructure for global agrarianism and to do it in such a way as to enable renaissance/flowering.
That is my life's work, my passion, and what I live for and would be happy to die for any day of the week. This blog is my rough and in many instances unedited writings on the subject. These are not refined articles. They are a semi-formal journaling to log ideas I find important.
