Will science save us? Often we are told that nature is science. In fact that is untrue. Math is numbers and a methodology for analysis, interpretation, and prediction. Numbers were created for math as a methodology and numbers are math. Nature was here before science, which is a methodology to understand, interpret and discover what simply is. What is discovered does not belong to science. It is not science for it continues to be authored, defined, and empowered by nature. Science is nature’s portrait; if done well, its likeness, but never its actual reality.
Nature, there before science, is us as well, and if we all vanished with our science it would be there afterword. Science, like any language—methodology for human to human communication—can be lost and rediscovered in a new form while its subject of interest remains as is.
Thus, the first step toward the new paradigm is scientific humility. Science remains as “dung” without the humanities to turn it into soil.

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.
