⚠️ AI: The greatest existential threat? Climate change, microplastics, deforestation—these are massive issues. But if you ask me, nothing poses a greater long-term threat than AI. Why? Because it’s evolving faster than we can comprehend.

A classic example of a permaculture orchard. Fruit trees with nitrogen-fixing trees in between, and pasture between the rows.

Notice the irrigation line - David doesn’t employ swales!

When you are stuck or overwhelmed, focus on the smallest possible thing that moves your project forward.

Where you live—what locality, what state, what country—has more impact on your well-being than any other factor. Where you live is one of the few things in your life you can choose and change.

🇩🇪 German farmer @AnthonyLeeLsvD tells me about the farmers’ uprising:

“We’re sick of the lies. We’ve been here for generations, we work 24/7, we’re the people who put food on your plates!

We are all united in getting rid of the politicians who are trying to get rid of us!” 🔥

[Permaculture Apprentice @permapprentice]

We haven’t got a chance in the world of making an easy energy transition.  None.  The reasons are many, but the core of the problem is we’ve put the wrong people in charge and allowed flawed narratives to take flight unchallenged. https://t.co/EeN1piC9Py

Critics of small-scale farming often say there's a lack of evidence it can feed people en masse compared to industrial food chains. Often they ignore evidence when it's presented then rinse & repeat

Diversion from the poor evidence base for industrial food chain sustainability?
