"Failure is a crucible that refines us" is beautiful, the wording in your videos is always so precise and metaphor-heavy, that's such a good writing style for advocacy work. I hope the visibility of your work increases.
many of us were spending a great deal of emotional labor on people in our lives who don't respect our fundamental human rights and many of us are redirecting our time and attention to those who are proactive about supporting our rights and working together to create egalitarian social groups. My family will be building a permaculture eco-village with an off grid B&B to invite those who want to try out eco-village life a weekend at a time. Our village will be more "exclusive" than some as we are going for neurospicy and lgbtq friendly spaces. We ARE the ones society decided were trash, so we'll group up and build our own place to live, play, and celebrate.
I was thinking of doing the same thing.... creating an intentional community for good folks wrongly deemed "trash" (like disabled people) which involves mutual aid and respect. I don't have the resources or the know-how, so I am in my intensive research era.
Yes, ma’am. MORE of this, please. I’m looking for solutions from the failure of 2024. I know that 99% of us are struggling with the current destructive status quo. As we have all observed from recent events, the destructive status quo isn’t about left or right. It’s about up versus down.
I love the concepts you're putting forth. Also, the lack of dividing lines between those of the right who are seeing the true colors of those they thought were on their side. Realizing that the issue is with the people in charge, who just don't care, and aren't thinking about anything other than themselves. It damning the entire country. The fear of failure that anxiety brings. Coupled with the anxiety brought on by being alone, and the fear of rejection. Forces people to build boogeymen, when in reality they just actually needed to meet more people.
I love the idea that 'the problem is the solution.' Here's the problem: the current political situation is a problem of an intraspecies predator/prey oscillation, wherethere is a cycle of partners being predominant, switching to sociopath predominating, then back again, over and over. My question is, how do we break the cycle to keep sociopathic harms to a controlled minimum? I'd love to hear brainstorming on this.
There was a book that spoke of a "vicious cycle" that reinforced harms in a society versus a "virtuous cycle" that reinforced stability and prosperity. .... and if you are into Star Trek there is a ST:TNG episode called "The Drumhead" that addresses that topic
@@RowenaSnow-px3jg I don't know of any official think- tank on this topic. We're it so far! And the Star Trek episode you mention, what series of Trek was that from?
So... a problem that could be the solution: Problem: Billionaires own the vast majority of global wealth and assets while many have housing insecurity and food insecurity and lack of Healthcare. Solution: Confiscate the hoarded wealth and distribute to the lower classes for societal needs
Funny thing about everything is a resource: In ancient times, a broken pot was a resource. Grind it to powder to make new pots, use it to write on, put it in the foundation timbers of your hut. These aren't new principles, they're just resource efficiency!
I have recently found your videos, and have started thinking about how to incorporate them. I realize this is not really "good" environmentally. In my house, we've started washing and re-using the takeaway coffee cups that always find their way home here in the Pacific NW. I will send them out with fresh coffee with my housemate. I know that disposable coffee cups aren't great, but I figure 2-4 uses of a disposable cup is still better than 1 use.
@@kevinhope7504 It's a process! It's basically relearning a whole other way of being and functioning, so give yourself grace. The main thing is that you're trying to find ways to look at what you can change and doing it. Small and slow is way more sustainable than trying to make drastic changes all at once. The latter usually leads to giving up. Just keep finding small things you can change and build those habits, then keep adding more as you learn. They add up.
@@kevinhope7504 it is a new skill and a new way of thinking about things. The moral failing would be seeing and not acting. Little changes add up. Reusing something 4 times is a 75% reduction in materials. Keep going! 😁

How much old content has good information that we do not see in our social media / broadcast promotion and surfing of the new? How many people who aren’t young or posting within the last few days have solutions?
OK, so what if the solution to the problem is not something we can personally do. Like I literally cannot keep ducks, but i have a slug and snail problem! (same goes for chickens, i can't keep any livestock and it's not because of local rules) sometimes finding a solution that works for you isn't so easy. I'm trying to be more solution-minded, but sometimes the solution either eludes me or just isn't something i can do. I had zero beans this year, and all but my first sowings of lettuce also disappeared overnight into fat slugs!
We grow our lettuce in a raised bed we made out of a shipping crate and I built a cage out of wood and mesh to fit over top to keep out bugs and squirrels that dig up and/or nibble everything in my area. Every year is different, last year was great for squash and hot peppers but not good for beans, peas, etc. I grow a wide variety in my small urban backyard (think food forest) so will always have at least some successes.
If you're not against using store bought help, Sluggo is non toxic to pets, kids, fish, etc. Slugs eat it and think they're full. Leftover pellets turn into fertilizer so it's a win-win to me. Don't store it where rodents can get at it because they will eat the whole bottle.
It's not that simple. There are different kinds of capitalism and degrees of socialism. Believing one thing is good therfore the other is bad is an antiquated ideology. For example- Universal Healthcare is in practice in every first world country except America and quite successfully implemented in many countries, cheaper than for profit healthcare and wildly popular yet capitalists scream socialism/communism like it's some evil...no, for profit healthcare is just highly profitable and has big money lobbyists. A little bit of socialism would significantly improve American's health and quality of life but it's a boogeyman to frighten and keep the money rolling in.
Americans have been indoctrinated to be so terrified of socialism. When the most stable, prosperous countries with the highest happiness index are all democratic socialist countries. Capitalism is squeezing the life out of us.
I guess that means Mr. Tangerine man is a socialist. Who would have known? I also guess you wouldn't love capitalism so much if you were working in, say, a sweat shop in Bangladesh to sew cheap clothing for Americans in 14-hour shifts for a few cents the hour.

Corporate greed go against most of these principles…
I first learned of Permaculture from Surivalist/ Prepper podcasts, with a more self sustainability angle. Your expansion is, thought provoking.
I did too but the Trumpist thread running thru these due to the conservative Christian preppers was a headache.
I have no idea what permaculture is but now I wanna find out. Good stuff!
Learn not to vote for billionaires is my Step One.
Or, learn that voting for illegitimate Representation is the failure of Democracy, not its salvation.
Absolutely adore your channel. So happy I found it. ❤

Is your lettuce in a place where you can put copper around them? They sell copper tape for that purpose.
We grow our lettuce in a raised bed we made out of a shipping crate and I built a cage out of wood and mesh to fit over top to keep out bugs and squirrels that dig up and/or nibble everything in my area. Every year is different, last year was great for squash and hot peppers but not good for beans, peas, etc. I grow a wide variety in my small urban backyard (think food forest) so will always have at least some successes.

Drunk slugs, bowl of beer for them to drown in ..um to become ...drunk birds ?
Birds ate both sowing of my lettuce...

Im sorry th message is great but those earrings are giving me life
What good is it for you to be doing this when corporations are polluting so much there won't be a planet left in a decade?
I love Capitalism. It's Socialism that is the problem. Socialism leads to fascism.

Yes, the elites have turned “socialism” into the boogeyman.
