Nature doesnt bargain w/him to content hmslf. What she grants is proportional neither to his wants nor to contractual valuation of his labor. Its the physical result of the soils fertility & wisdom far more than laboriousness of the means w/which hes employed to render it fertile

@hutchinson You are such a fucking loser dude. I used to watch all your shit, all your videos with Nanners and the other guys. Really liked you. And you've shown yourself to be just a complete fucking ass.

Shame on you.

@aspiringpeasant its pretty easy to believe conspiracies in human politics. But when the bois start getting nutty with physical science, I just go back to basics

can't do that with an acquaintance, but with the bois, find the point of their misunderstanding and gently rib them

The people responding to anti-genocide protests with American flags and the star spangled banner and U.S. patriotism are indeed making a strong point. Just not the one they think they are.

I feel like it would be more normal for colleges to have nothing to do with arms manufacturers.

ie. fossil energy is routinely cited as "more efficient" sources than renewables in the traditional sense of energy density, while ignoring the environmental damage of those sources, maybe some post-hoc grappling as an afterthought

must walk before you can run I suppose

[🌸 ryolithica 🌻 @ryolithica]

good to see ppl thinking about & adding energy to aggregate production functions as an input to labor and capital and not an addition to them. But when will we see attempts to model the actual efficiency of fossil energy wrt environmental effects?

I really hate the term "food forest" because its too much like a buzzword but what else essentially captures the same practice? 'Productive hedge' is kinda referring to something different, more impermeable and wild. idk

every time I say it I feel like a bit hippy dippy

@PatrickHeizer on a smaller farm, I suppose ease of harvest is less important as you're using more human labor relative to machines, so trees would work even better

[🌸 ryolithica 🌻 @ryolithica]

if we want a Small Farm Future, are we vastly underestimating the amount of land we need to devote to grain production vs. vegetables, perennials & orchards, livestock, etc.?

2) in traditional Chinese agriculture:

- 90% of cropped land was planted with grains
- 5% sweet potatoes
- 2% fibers
- 1% vegetables
