Another great one PE! Can one call this a pastiche, of old farm talk, and speculative future fiction? And, amigo, have you lived on a farm, or were you raised by serious gardeners? If not, congrats on nailing the priorities of the occupation so well, that you could pass with ease. I hope the voice chooses to behave itself and refrain from giving you further concerns. I’ve never written so many fan letters/comments to anyone. I just keep finding myself driven to say thank you, repeatedly, for the insight and entertainment that you provide. You are totally The Man!
Thanks, Tom! Glad you're enjoying so many of the stories. If my characters can pass for farmers, it's due in no small part to a few of my colleagues with whom I worked to help develop writing pedagogy for a college-level Ag program. Learned a lot about scientific thinking and farming from them! Now I grow potatoes 🤠
What begat civilisations was farming ,so it could be mooted that farmers were the fathers of civilisation, so who better to cultivate its growth than another farmer? An insightful story on so many levels!
Having been a logistics engineer, the detail of logistics and relivent markets is really good. Thanks for simplifying the details of such so well. I'm going to use it.
Mr. Rowe: I grew up on a family farm. In many ways we were still living in the 1930’s mentality. A place in Ohio called the Black Swamp. I wound up building my home in San Diego, California years later. I can relate to this story.
Cheers, Michael! Glad to hear it 🤠 I did not grow up on a farm but taught a lot of college students who did. It was a great privilege to learn from them.
As always, listening in the silent dark becomes mezmerising. Your description of those peas rising for one 8 year old boy, with just the hope and concernn of his father as witness, transformed into that gigantic industrial and financial endeavor had me spellbound. My father was a surveyor for the roads department starting in the 1950s, so as I grew, I watched the network of highways and bridges cross the province with a romantic sense of familial propriety. My grandmother grew every shrub, perennial, fruit and vegetable the climate would allow, which means you had me at "pouch of seeds". This listener is a very contented pea.
Well, to be fair, there aren't any famous voice actors clamoring at my door to take that job off my hands yet 🤣 So I guess I'll keep reading them as long as my voice cooperates.
Thanks, Roger! To be fair, much of the credit for the active support concept goes to Isaac Arthur, who has long been a strong proponent. I haven't ever heard the construction process described in detail, so Julian had to whisper it in my ear from the future 😃
More than delightful. Your artful transposition of farming skills and seemingly unrelated frontiering skills was well woven. Typing as a tired, old, diversified small farmer, I can guarantee you that the majority of the populace has no real grasp of what producing food at even just a financially sustainable level entails...never mind profit. I'm getting some new hands in, and this story will be required listening somewhere in their first week here. ❤
Enjoyed the story per always, may your prep and hard work cultivate in exospheric rewards Hope your voice hangs in there you are a superb narrator. It is almost as great an asset as your writing skill.
@@MrIzzyDizzy 🤣🤣 Oh, man! If I get sick I may have to steal that idea! I think it would have to be a comedy, though--maybe a sequel to Top Sushi where everyone catches a cricket-borne illness 😂
@@RoweLit Also I have a new community story poll idea. Dark Oxygen! it a new discovery at the bottom of the Oceans. Oxygen not caused by photosynthesis. It is caused by several metallic precipitates. which form trillions of golf ball size mineral balls like nickel, cobalt ,magnesium , and others. They are like mini batteries under high pressure salinity and ph and they have an electrolysis effect that produces oxygen and hydrogen. The thing is there is a big push to mine them with remote giant golf ball picker vacuums . There is some push back from scientist to not do it. Also there are implication of how much the planet was oxygenated by early plants. A couple story ideas. arise from these implications. - did we destroy our Dark Oxygen by mining up the minerals before we understood it, or can we use this form of low level electrolysis to terra form new planets with oceans? . I think this has a chance to be the 1st Dark Oxygen scifi story as well.
Thanks, SC. Working at it! I love that way of putting it, as I hope that's how a flourishing future space race looks at these crazy days we're in--the just starting out days.
@@RoweLit I think we are just in a hiccup in history. Those living in the 1930s must have felt like the world would never recover. Humanity entered the atomic age less than a decade after the great depression. Furthermore, the moon landings were only 30 years after the great depression ended. It isn't hope its logic to say that we will crawl off of earth one day. I love that your stories still have war. Without aliens humanity will continue to fight amongst ourselves. Unlike some over hyped SciFi we are not a utopian society. Someone always has to do the dirty jobs. Have you thought about going down the line of the research into living in space? Before humanity leaves sol I mean. I have always loved the idea of a military lead biodome project. Submariners and SOF guys are the only types I think could truly lead a project like that. There is no room for partisan sub groups. I think squids and SF are the type that could train people to live together in space.
Funny you should mention early colonization, SC! I've got something on the horizon ... Some interesting and fun stuff upcoming near the 100 episode mark, which is approaching fast!!! It is crazy how history seems to stretch and accelerate beyond our perceptions. I have a friend who's an elementary school teacher about my age. And he mentioned to me that he had a mind blowing moment when he realized Sept. 11 was further in the past for his students than MLK was for us when we were kids. Part of that, too, might have been poor early TV tech making it seem like the sixties was so long ago to us when we were kids, but it seemed like ancient history.
@@RoweLit Maybe looking into the past has a similar effect to what Arthur C Clarke's 3rd law says. However, instead of looking at advanced tec seeing magic. We see something closer to barbarism in the past. My kids can't imagine what the world was like pre cell phones and smart tvs. Just like traveling across the ocean via boat is hard for us. Culturally I can't imagine our time will ever be interesting enough to emulate in the future. Let alone anyone will fund an experimental archaeology project looking into the 2020s. Going back to Clark's laws though. His first law and lesser known one "When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong." So, keep your spirits up. There are people alive today that were living when it was believed imposible to break the sound barrier in level flight. Have a great day.
Now that is truly a magical beanstalk story! I think Carl Sagan will forgive the reference involving an elephant 😆 Brilliant story and can so vividly imagine the view from the tower!👍
Cheers, Justin! To add fuel to that fire, I didn't have an order in mind when I started, except for the passage of time. The Hartsock stories do bounce around to different periods in his life. Tough call, though 😃

These stories are always so well constructed-like, for example, a space tower or a field full of crops 😉 Have you read Paper Menagerie by Ken Lui? It has some fantastic science fiction shorts.
Awesome story! Really happy I stumbled upon your channel, I love the way you design your characters. Keep up the great work! I especially enjoy everything you write about Julian Hartsock. Is there somewhere a playlist of all stories about Julian combined? Would love to relisten to them all together. Greetings from germany
Thanks, Baleygyr! I'm glad you stumbled here as well 😃 Thanks for the question: the Hartsock stories are all on the Lifeboat playlist, but soon they're going to need their own ... maybe even with their own cover art and perhaps even on paper! 🤔
Yes, try to be a farmer. One of the most fulfilling jobs but damn you have to be careful when and how you use your time/money. And if you don’t go big, well you’re going to have only peas.
Thanks, Mario! Yes, I am learning with my potatoes these past couple years 🤠 I'm far enough along that I can grow a decent percentage of my food, but scaling that to the point that it not only feeds the household but pays for it? Much respect to those who can.
Your writing is so good that even if read by Gilbert Godfrey, the brilliance would be undiminished. Train an AI to do you? Anyway, just keep writing. I will get some better glasses if I have to read it myself (in your voice of course). Thank you for another stirring story, P.
Thanks, Karl! I think Gilbert would do a great job with the comic stories, though he might not be the best choice for Julian 🤣 I'm pretty sure there's enough audio of me out there to train AIs on me, probably well enough if you ever get a call from me selling insurance or asking you to join a class action law suit, you should assume it's a scam. The real question is which character calls--Burch, Julian, Clem Aballi, Maicon?
Also I have a new community story poll idea. Dark Oxygen! it is a new discovery at the bottom of the Oceans. Oxygen not caused by photosynthesis. It is caused by several metallic precipitates. which form trillions of golf ball size mineral balls like nickel, cobalt ,magnesium , and others. They are like mini batteries under high pressure salinity and ph and they have an electrolysis effect that produces oxygen and hydrogen. The thing is there is a big push to mine them with remote giant golf ball picker vacuums . There is some push back from scientist to not do it.

I think this has a chance to be the 1st Dark Oxygen scifi story as well. Another story might be how we can mine ocean planets for metallic precipitates that might make more sense because it might be that metallic precipitates might not have much effect on total oxygen ( we aren't sure yet) and they may already be in off world oceans already.
That is kinda mind blowing! My vote would be not to start messing with those golf ball until we're 100% sure the creatures from The Abyss don't live down there. It's probably a better first contact than accidentally dropping a nuke-laden submersible down their trench, but stealing their dark oxygen is probably a close second 😂 Hang onto that idea for me please, MrIzzy, because it's probably going to be a while before I put another poll up. I've got my schedule set for almost a couple months now with the 100th episode approaching, but if you remember it when I start shouting out the next poll, I'll definitely add it! Thanks!
@@RoweLit my pleasure. and i agree it is not wise to go messing up their environment when we still don't know much about the ocean floor what lives there , what part Dark oxygen plays, how it affects the food chain et al. But $$$$$$ has a way of taking priority.
@@RoweLit i have thought of a twist on the dark oxygen discovery. related to this space elevator story! Farm it! Allow harvesting of the precipitates if some seeded objects and/or catalyst could increase the rate of precipitation. Which is estimated to be only a cm per million years right now . I'm not saying we could figure like this out anytime soon. but that is sci-fi ideation gold. . Lets say we do figure out that slow release manganese mixed with iron filings with small magnets and oyster shell calcium tablets could make that precipitate at a cm per 20 years( not saying that would work but something might.). Then perhaps we could safely have metallic precipitates operate like tree farms. We could use such tech. both for ,mining minerals and metals, and for generating more oxygen for terraforming planets with water oceans. maybe every square. mile we harvest we plant 20sqr miles of accelerated precipitate farms, making it sustainable. Maybe we could even kill another bird with that stone. Have part of the catalyst also extract and use micro plastics in the water.
@@RoweLit sorry to be a pest batteries are becoming so efficient - maybe we could just use green energy to oxygenate. maybe ocean current generated electricity. here is a video by one of my favorite youtube green energy thinkers. Not about dark oxygen though he was my first contact with that discovery, it is everywhere now. though no links allowed , the title search should be enough. and it is very short not too technical. - Battery powered flights from Washington DC to LA.

Also I have a new community story poll idea. Dark Oxygen! it is a new discovery at the bottom of the Oceans. Oxygen not caused by photosynthesis. It is caused by several metallic precipitates. which form trillions of golf ball size mineral balls like nickel, cobalt ,magnesium , and others. They are like mini batteries under high pressure salinity and ph and they have an electrolysis effect that produces oxygen and hydrogen. The thing is there is a big push to mine them with remote giant golf ball picker vacuums . There is some push back from scientist to not do it. Also there are implication of how much the planet was oxygenated by early plants. A couple story ideas. arise from these implications. - did we destroy our Dark Oxygen by mining up the minerals before we understood it, or can we use this form of low level electrolysis to terra form new planets with oceans? .
