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.
Two short paragraphs on what really matters about the population and land ownership shift
Agrarianism—Indigenization—Agroecology City gentrification is interesting but less important than rural gentrification which is booming. Popular or trendy regions where development and land use policies are not intelligently designed ahead of time turn into a big mess. There are no intelligent land use policies in 2016 by the way. Even if industry is limited by development policies,… Continue reading Two short paragraphs on what really matters about the population and land ownership shift
The middle ground in highly polarized debate
This topic will be interesting to all as a uniquely well supported central position on a highly polarized subject: "I simply do not care about gun regulation, laws to regulate abortion, homosexuality, trans... debates, who marries who, or even this ridiculous charade of a presidential election as all of them are in our era. I care… Continue reading The middle ground in highly polarized debate
The systems are sick not the people…
"...there has never been anything wrong with humanity itself..." Roger Stellwagen said: "A friend ask me why I carry a gun, I replied, because a cop is too heavy." Though that is not me, I still get the point. This is an issue of trust in governance and or civilization. Trust is at a low… Continue reading The systems are sick not the people…
Idealism to Realism in the test-tube of globally interconnected capitalism
Is idealism a vice or a foundation and outflow of a properly functioning conscience and locally evolved culture? What is the functional and rational interplay of idealism and realism in view of an imploding environmental scenario? Is globally pervasive capitalism dynamically similar to locally driven market economy and how does it alternatively affect diverse local culture and the evolution of… Continue reading Idealism to Realism in the test-tube of globally interconnected capitalism
Conventional-Agriculture critiqued in the light of Agroecology: MORNING BRAINSTORM, nothing fancy…
"In agroecology we feed on the results of science as an organic farmer feeds on carrots as they are plucked from the ground. We do not prefer that someone else claiming rights and position pre-package the product of science with preservatives, pomp, collateral price tags, and irrelevant assumptions..." ___________________________________ Conventional agriculture often relies heavily on the use of… Continue reading Conventional-Agriculture critiqued in the light of Agroecology: MORNING BRAINSTORM, nothing fancy…
Wisdom – the multi-generational pact
We live in an interesting time. I am somewhere in the mid-point of what would be an average life expectancy now in 2016. When I was young I flocked to old people and gleaned every ounce of knowledge I could from their wise perspectives. I worked with them every chance I could, especially the country… Continue reading Wisdom – the multi-generational pact

Socialism, Capitalism, and any Combo There-of.. DEAD END ROAD or FULL SPEAD AHEAD?
Capitalism won over socialism and democratic capitalist socialism might well have won over pure capitalism or socialism. Yet, we still haven’t nailed it. Do we continue under the restraint of what has been done or is it time to move ahead to the future of greater capacity than past or present? Adaptive systems of diversity are… Continue reading Socialism, Capitalism, and any Combo There-of.. DEAD END ROAD or FULL SPEAD AHEAD?
