I love biological systems, especially ones that serve my needs.
The main things preventing me from engaging in permaculture right now
- my desire to build a startup and not being able to afford time tradeoffs
- hating driving which goes hand and hand with remote living
- socialization which is more difficult if I'm living remotely
While this is true relative to modern agricultural practices, it's always going to be more work than shopping at a grocery store (even if it's more rewarding/nutritious/self-sufficient).
yes biological systems rule, we will never become something else than that if we don't understand it, once we understand it we can hack it.
- Everybody doesn't have to do everything, you can code my man, you can code god dammit. well , but yeah, I think it would totally be cool if more people engaged in benefiting other life than human life, cuz we depend on it. Other life is actually trying to help us all the time but we are only exploiting it in modern agriculture for now. Not in the poorer nations however, they still put seeds in the ground and it takes a freaking day to do it by hand c'mon. There we also tried to change it to our way of doing it so we could own their lands, but this is only cuz of cheap energy we can do what we do.
- Hey man, I think you get internet connection in the country side nowadays and it's awesome.
- It can also happen in the country side.
I know, the country side looks dead today. With all those one crop fields. However if you go to a poorer nation where they can't afford tractors you will find out that all the action is right on, I really mean RIGHT ON. They have their own local market places where they meet up, eat breakfast, dinner and drink home made beer in the evenings. Community. Real IRL community.
Conventional agriculture is flawed for such a simple reason that we put more energy in to it than we actually get out and it is killing us.
