Society is made by developing systems to benefit what benefits people. It is repaired by tweaking or repairing those systems to achieve beneficial effect.In 2014 we finally seem to be coming back to the understanding that all of life on the planet is inexcusably linked, and we sink or swim as an ecosystem. We do… Continue reading How is society made and repaired (in 4 phases or less)
2014 Soil Science:
Precision Agriculture and Integrated Nutrient Management need to pull together with all the knowledge gained in the science and practice of organic agriculture as well as total soil nutrition to feed the vibrancy of the soil beyond what the 17 essential plant nutrients can do.The soil is nutritionally optimized by animal nutrition and then feeds… Continue reading 2014 Soil Science:
Through much energy and many words, we miss the point needed to find solutions
Very little of our discussion reaches the root of the problems we face. Our total societal effect is destructive to the world ecosystem. Obama and the entire politik support the continuance of destructive net effect while making silly little concessions because they are adamant about "constant economic growth as a mantra for success. Whose success… Continue reading Through much energy and many words, we miss the point needed to find solutions
Ecology: A Footprint Re-think
BY SYMBIOTICFUTUREImpact? big question...big answers!Footprint thinking needs to be converted to something less ambiguous. What we need to have is a net positive impact on our ecosystem. This is very possible in smaller towns and communities with the scale of knowledge and technology we have to work with if we can wrap our minds around… Continue reading Ecology: A Footprint Re-think
Freedom and Unalienable rights
BY SYMBIOTICFUTUREIt is most certainly correct and self evident even to the non-spiritual that we do not own the earth or its resources or its creatures, but we do own our systems and certain rights in our person. With ownership comes responsibility. Usurping such responsibility is reprehensible, however, we cannot force belief and action on anyone.… Continue reading Freedom and Unalienable rights
Organic Agriculture: A model to re-green the planet
BY SYMBIOTICFUTUREThe knowledge gained in organic agriculture regarding the fact that 1.) agriculture does not need synthetic chemicals and 2.) the knowledge of how to optimize and supercharge soil health can save our planet and get us out of this CO2 imbalance mess.Agriculture alone cannot do this. Applying the principles to the marginal lands of… Continue reading Organic Agriculture: A model to re-green the planet
3-Balance of increase-occupy utopia
BY SYMBIOTICFUTUREThe current cycle of life has divided age-groups and successively leaves every generation with an earth ecosystem/resource-base less than that of the parents. How do we break the cycle?We are currently pushing a "bottom-line" foundation to the core of society and all our systems. The bottom-line of today is economic wealth and financial prosperity.… Continue reading 3-Balance of increase-occupy utopia
Origins: where we really stand in 2014:
BY SYMBIOTICFUTUREScience generally needs to start with an improvable presumption. The study of origins is not as important as the honest portrayal of the current level of known science on the subject. The oft quoted “Most likely theory” is far too subjective for such a ‘culturally charged’ subject. What is the most logical improvable assumption… Continue reading Origins: where we really stand in 2014:
Utopia-more than a dream
Tom Slabe wrote: “It’s time to start “farming” energy. We capture energy from the sun in a manner in which plants capture energy.” Right-on Tom, now you got me going! We are running on old fossil stored sunlight. The future is real time. The sun starts a sequence of energy flow events on the planet… Continue reading Utopia-more than a dream
The Bison
What is our future? Can we use the tools of our existence to re-establish a biological stewardship based world society from the current consumer one? The world minority is gravitating that way, back to nature as our guide in this time of trouble. That is our firm position. The majority is under the spell of the… Continue reading The Bison
