What is this? #asknostr #mushrooms

“Collapse now and avoid the rush” was my credo when we moved from the city to the countryside 8 years ago. In retrospect that approach has served my family well. We live extremely well on a small budget. And we have plenty of options. Now John Michael Greer, who coined the phrase, is calling for Brace for impact. We are ready. Are you?

Bracing for Impact

I think it was Lenin who said that there are decades in which nothing happens, and then there are months in which decades happen. It’s a useful r...

I love fire

Liberty confirmed in my territory 🗽🧢🍄🍄 Tried to “plant” this on a small stick. Guess it’s a good method for spreading the spores. Wouldn’t mind having it in my local pastures. I take it as an indicator of thriving grass and soil.

Allan Savory: “Human organizations / institutions are defined in Systems Science as “complex soft systems” – meaning they exhibit unpredictable emergent properties, including “wicked problems” (unavoidable & almost impossible to solve). They do not behave as a human would, are almost entirely incapable of commonsense & ability to admit error. And institutions will go against their very purpose to fund and protect the organization. We have only to look at the thousands of religious organizations going to war with one another for centuries where no sensible people or families would do so. Political parties are such organizations & they develop policies through many organizations (never with independent citizens) and we see such institutional stupidity now threatening all of mankind globally, where no one is to blame but no one is talking about of dealing with institutional stupidity such as we see once more here, in an otherwise intelligent caring nation of people. The report states “The extra costs of additives for feed would be a big expense for farmers…We were happy with the proposal for financial compensation for farmers to invest in methane-reducing feed additives in the report and we will support the government to turn this proposal into reality,’’ said Cora Taylor, business developer at land-based seaweed factory Volta Greentech, as Volta Greentech posted on Medium.” New Zealand is no better as we see with their government favouring a “fart” tax on cattle which no normal human, and especially no independent (not working for an institution) scientist would ever be stupid enough to even suggest. No nation is any better across the world from the US to China with agricultural policies causing biodiversity loss & desertification fueling climate change and being the most destructive industry ever known – not methane from grazing animals that in far greater numbers farted for billions of years.” https://www.ecowatch.com/cows-methane-emissions-seaweed.html

Another 120 l of cider brews. Scaling up year by year. Sugar level could be higher…

Greatest job @walker

On my way from the dirty fiat mines to my first bitcoin meet up. It’s such a strange phenomena that most of us bitcoiners are completely alone with our passion for bitcoin. For years I had nobody to share my thoughts with. Danish free thinkers are finding each other. Our numbers and power grows day by day. Soon we will meet bitcoiners in the wild on regular basis. Bitcoin is hope.

Reading A Neglected Factor in the Fall of Civilizations by John Michael Greer (JMG). It is definitely worth a read. Reminds me a lot about the Fiat Standard - but without emphasis on the money component. I would love to see a discussion with JMG and @Saifedean Ammous.

A Neglected Factor in the Fall of Civilizations

One of the many reasons I enjoy writing these weekly essays is that they give me the opportunity to look at the world in new ways. Too many writers...

Anybody else reading following JMG’s writing?

Seen in our cider apple orchard this morning. Kind of unusual. 💐💐🍎🍏

Moved the flock to a new plot today. A couple of thoughts: 1. Something that I’ve met in myself over the years: Observing animals grazing vigorously gives me a profound feeling of happiness. It really activates my reward centre. This suggests that we biologically hardwired to have animals and move them around to fresh pastures. Enjoy this video and try it on yourself :-) 2: They are having plenty of red clover this autumn. It’s said to inhibit sheep’s reproductive capacity due to oestrogen like substances. But I decided to make my own trials. Let’s see how bad it is.

Are any of you guys listening to Dark Horse podcast? I really like Bret’s take on big climate. It feels more and more like Covid-19 with simplistic science communication paving the way for tyrannical government regulation. 🤮 We need more independent and high integrity scientists auditing the “scientific consensus”. What is your take?

Morning in the orchard. Autumn is coming

Beautiful birds. #grownostr #geestr
