In 1991 eight people were sealed inside three acres of glass in the Arizona desert to prove that a carefully designed farm could feed humans without the outside world, and the design had almost no room in it for animals. Two years later the only thing inside that had reliably fed them was a handful of goats.

Biosphere 2 cost a hundred and fifty million dollars. A rainforest, an ocean, a savannah and a farm under one roof, with the door welded shut for two years and nothing allowed in or out. The farm was the heart of it, and the farm was built on the modern idea: crops first, grown intensively, with livestock as an afterthought at the edges. A few African pygmy goats for milk, a flock of chickens, and four small feral pigs chosen because they could live on scraps.

The pigs did not last the year. In a sealed box short of calories a pig is a competitor, and the crew killed and ate them. The chickens barely laid, because the glass cut the light and there was nothing to feed them that would make an egg. That left the goats, and for two years the goats were the only source of fat in a world designed around vegetables.

The accounts the crew wrote afterwards return to them again and again. The half glass of milk a day was the thing people lived for. When a kid was born it was eaten and the meal was written up like a feast. The men lost nearly a fifth of their body weight, the women a tenth, and the food they dreamed of was never the sweet potatoes they had in abundance. It was the animal they had been given too few of.

The plants were also taking the air. To make the crops grow the soil had been enriched with compost, and the microbes in that soil breathed oxygen faster than anyone had calculated. The level fell from twenty-one per cent to fourteen, the air of a high mountain, until the crew could not climb a staircase without resting and oxygen had to be trucked in from outside. The design that put plants first had removed the thing everyone needed most.

Nobody has ever run the experiment the other way, with a herd at the centre and the crops at the edge. It would not have needed a doctor to explain the results.

They were given three acres and told to feed themselves on plants. They ate the pigs, worshipped the goats, and suffocated.

Moonlight should’ve been that mainstream portal opener for black indie film watchers post 2010 but most niggas didn’t watch it unfortunately

[Ladé @LadePlatinum]

If Sinners is what made you start paying attention to black indie films you’re part of the problem

@Its_RianM @thunter86 This is actually a cope lol aside from the south the Midwest is the only other place where you can realistically achieve homeownership

[Backyard Theory @BYTUnfiltered]

@Kingheruuu @DiazAndytwelve1 @LightBearer1984 I do however believe every group has their own distinct struggles/challenges in the world and that’s ok because that’s what makes us all unique individually. However I ultimately believe humans should operate on what’s moral & right instead of petty tribal beefs.

[Backyard Theory @BYTUnfiltered]

@Kingheruuu @DiazAndytwelve1 @LightBearer1984 Unless youre from here, the starting point of modern racism/white supremacy, you cant assume no distinction between us and others not from here. Its not a hate thing but a difference in how we operate & view the world. We dont kiss the dominant societies ass vs immigrants here do

[BC @ABirdAround]

Your first problem is taking this to social media.

Your second problem is expecting any level of seriousness and meaningful change from Elon Musk’s Twitter.

@MichaelTownly65 @HalloPro235 Ask yourselves why didn’t Europeans didn’t leave the continent until the late 1400s?Lol

Not to mention Spain are the first whites to discover it bc they had heavy contact with Moors who told them Africans been over there & knew a route hence European Explorers tagging them along

[Backyard Theory @BYTUnfiltered]

@Kingheruuu @DiazAndytwelve1 @LightBearer1984 9 times outta 10 non black Americans always distinguish themselves from us

What we go through and live under here as descendants of freedman on US soil is vastly different from other diaspora members who immigrate here to be aligned with that dominant white society

[Backyard Theory @BYTUnfiltered]

@michelle_byoung @ShaadSmooth Ok honest question

What have black men or even black women received that’s actually forward moving & beneficial to the community despite consistently voting 85% Democrat since the 1930s?

[Backyard Theory @BYTUnfiltered]

Also most white middle class got to their level bc they were handed down mortgage free properties via parents and only pay property taxes & utilize HELOCs whereas black middle class have to pay mortgage + taxes more often than not bc they weren’t handed down paid off property

[Anthony @AnthonyGSupreme]

Mind you, most of them don't even know what wealth is lol. They think living in a house, having a car, and a decent job means wealth. There's a reason even the Black Middle Class gets hit harder than the White one when the economy fails.

Trump won Ohio by 646k votes

BM made up approximately 3% of Ohio voters and only 21% of the total BM votes from 2024

Nowadays some BM have realized that Republicans + Democrats dont give a shit about them or our people yet somehow niggas cant comprehend them withholding votes

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

Hundreds of thousands of Black men are sitting out elections in Ohio. Almost no one is asking them why. https://t.co/vnMPbUvMCn

@RAFAN432 @listenuphoess @sullensorrows @paldogansans Your people are the textbook definition of ZERO accountability

Perfect example just yesterday you guys started deflecting to how a black juror on the Lindsey Clancy case didn’t pay his rent because he thought a white woman who deleted her 3 children should go to prison lol

[Backyard Theory @BYTUnfiltered]

@listenuphoess @RAFAN432 @sullensorrows @paldogansans If I said he was raging like a violent man would that have been better? Or would you still be on here butthurt over minor semantics

[Backyard Theory @BYTUnfiltered]

@RAFAN432 @listenuphoess @sullensorrows @paldogansans What cops were walking through 5+ feet of water arresting people for looting valuables from vacant homes? For once cops were actually helping recover people and get them to safety

You aren’t even being realistic or making sense. You just want to argue like a scorned woman

[👼🏽 @paldogansans]

i'm crying didn’t y’all call black people violent for the BLM protests back in 2020

[Hacienda Nápoles Hippos @285Slim]

I just saw “Where have you seen a white gang?” and idk why yall don’t just block these disingenuous ass folks man lmaoo

[Backyard Theory @BYTUnfiltered]

Don’t put Malcolm & Martin in this.

This is between 2 non Black American niggas throwing word salad with a bisexual white supremacist rage baiter in the middle.

[The Black Delegation @UptownMir]

A coon educating a coon , Malcom and Martin didn’t die for this.
