@DbalesBales@GeorgeStoia@SoonerScoop It sure does trouble me! I love Brent the man, but Brent the coach is starting to leave quite a bit to be desired, and I hate that.
Topics I want to hear more about re: policy platforms:
-Decentralizing our food system.
-Making fresh food accessible through vertical farming (multi-trophic aquaculture as well), especially in urban areas.
-Protecting our water supply from foreign adversaries
-Decreasing the regulations that make it difficult to buy local meat (see PRIME Act)
-Establishing a US framework for sustainable open ocean aquaculture and stock fortification.
-Decreasing our reliance on foreign seafood (considering we have the most plentiful fisheries).
-Privatizing school food so kids aren't obese and sick (thereby reducing healthcare costs).
-Streamlining and restructuring the FDA.
-Eliminating farm subsidies for massive food corps.
-Incentivizing regenerative beef farming.
-Transfering power from USDA to states (cut the feds)
Obviously, I interact with countless academics and academic administrators. The level to which their minds are fully parasitized by idea pathogens is truly breathtaking. And I say this as the author of The Parasitic Mind. It is soul-crushing to see the extent to which we live in a Bizarro World. The qualities that should be admired in academia are those that are renounced. Up is down. Left is right. Men are women. Lies are "my truth." Violence is peace. Freedom of speech is evil. Islam is peaceful. Jews are genocidal. The erasure of reality is the ultimate form of intellectual terrorism.
