Idea Capture

Everything is hurting around me and not going smoothly. This is highly frustrating.

Parallel Economies

Everything has been pointing me in this direction (sustainable ag/tech, intermediate technology). Why am I resisting it? I have to embrace it. I'm not too smart for this as Salatin says. Honestly if anything I'm too dumb. My gifts would NOT be wasted by going into that space. And yes the best time to plant a tree was years ago, but the next-best time is now. Does doubling down on conventional ag/tech help us any? We need restoration.
