Key concepts:
- Grassroots Governance to locally govern the government for the people and by the people (worldwide NGO).
- Knowledge/wisdom acquisition culturally trumping capital acquisition (reforming capitalism, or putting it back on its cultural leash.)
- Local control of local resources with world conscience oversight through science with some teeth
- Building primarily conscience governed society rather than primarily law governed society
- Reforming democracy or simply “governance” to draw out societies greatest wisdom
Success means a inclusion of the tribes:

Knowledge: (Refine the gold out of the rock and focus on that.) The non-gold portions are what cause the divisions…
- Deep knowledge vs. shallow knowledge
- Truth vs. theory
- Nature respecting vs. nature confronting
- Necessary vs. frivolous
- Rational vs. irrational
- Logical vs. illogical
- ?
Debate not for the art or competition, but for the acquisition of truth (everybody wins, and friends happily debate publicly ending with either closure or open ended. Let no one ever “win” an enlightened debate. And let the debate between friends become commonplace in a society where knowledge acquisition for societal wisdom building becomes common place. Embrace culture, religion, and science as adaptive and accepting of new ideas. Separate knowledge and wisdom far above the three. Religion and science seek out truth. Culture integrates it, and the result is societal knowledge and wisdom growing over time. This is a practice in humility and self sacrifice for the cause. The cause is knowledge and wisdom in society and empowerment of an ecologically symbiotic species.

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.
