We do not have a topic selected for our meeting on Thursday, November 10, so I am starting this thread to get your suggestions. Here are two ideas: 1. New...
After the New Renaissance presentation on Saturday, Jim asked me about the Afterculture pictures we used. For everyone's benefit, here's the link to Michael...
Yes, I am extremely curious what others thought of this essay. Was it so realistic that it's freaked us out? Did it make you wonder if you're a bit too...
I didn't respond because I disagree with some of his tenets. Civilization Is Going To Crash -- I'm sure people said that during the Bubonic Plague, WWI, the...
1. Civilization is going to crash, regardless of what we do. Also, it will probably be a messy affair. Depends on how many "we's" there are doing what and how...
Todd - I couldn't agree with you more about the cities... well said. It would be better to keep humans concentrated in sustainable cities and let the rest of...
I respectfully disagree with Todd's contention that the perfect arrangement for humanity is for all of us to live in cities, and the rest of the community of...
Hey, I am new here. Up in Pickens SC. Yeah, I agree that there is going to be a big crash. And if the rulers figure out how to make robots to do all the work,...
Thank you David! Well said and better than I would have done trying to explain the same points. I was getting upset until I came upon your email. Your last...
It's great to see how much discussion Derrick Jensen's essay has stimulated. Why don't we incorporate it into our discussion topic for our meeting on Thursday,...
Hi David, I don't think it's black or white, i.e., cities vs. not. The tension between "country" and city has been going on for thousands of years - see...
I think that cities are only viable by robbing everybody else to support them... rural areas end up paying taxes but get very few services, while a lot of it...
i see secession as a version of walking away from the dominant culture. this secessionists in Vermont are trying to make it official. makes me wonder if Native...
I've been out of pocket recently but I'd like to weight in briefly. I think David and Todd are both right. We are not naturally city monkeys, but it is a good...
There's also the Free State movement and the Buffalo Commons movement. The Free Staters are trying to get about 20,000 people to come to New Hampshire and...
ATLeavers, A few of us have made arrangements for an ATLeavers trip to the Hostel in the Forest <http://www.foresthostel.org/> (www.foresthostel.org) and ...
I agree. This secession movement is a walk away toward a better way of life. James Howard Kunstler posted on his web site the speech he gave to this group of...
But really, Alan: I don't think we Neo-Tribalists will be sitting in our cozy eco-villages watching the people in the cities eating one another. This does,...
Todd, thank you for writing so eloquently. I think people do not do the political stuff any more because they know, deep down, that it does not work. Any...
Todd, sorry, missed this one. ... to build, then what are we building? Do we wish continued existence and evolution so that we can colonize the Universe or use...
Wow - Todd, you hit the nail on the head on every point and asked questions I have been asking myself for as long as I can remember. My psychic sense has ...
