Blogroll
- AGAINST DEMOCRACY (CAN YOU FEEL IT?) (David Ker Thomson)-> Strangely brilliant; hilarious; poetic … puts some life back into Zerzan’s critique of symbolic thought for me.
- BIOMIMICRY: ARE HUMANS SMARTER THAN SEA SPONGES? (Big Gav) -> become a biomimic; become as smart as a sea sponge
- CIVILIZATION IS A PYRAMID SCHEME (Ronald White) -> or a Ponzi scheme.
- GREENING THE DESERT (Masanobu Fukuoka / Robert & Diane Gilman) -> interview in which the man himself begins “I am a small man, as you can see, but I came to the States with a very big intention…”
- HOW THE CITY HURTS YOUR BRAIN (Jonah Lehrer) -> serious religions begin when people go out into the wilderness, away from the city. this is not a coincidence.
- IS THE DESIRE TO RELOCALIZE MERELY AESTHETIC? (Lakis Polycarpou) -> ecologically functional description of aesthetic perception. brings christopher alexander to the table, who never leaves it at home.
- LET IT DIE (Douglas Rushkoff) -> Rushkoff, on corparitism & the economy; favorite line: “Using future tax dollars to give banks more money to lend out at interest is robbing from the poor to pay the rich to rob from the poor.”
- ON CHOOSING – A HYPERLOCAVORE RESPONDS TO CATASTROPHE (Liz McClellan) -> Something radiant in this backyard lies…
- OUR PANARCHIC FUTURE (Thomas Homer-Dixon) -> panarchy theory basically explains everything. the cycle growth-collapse-regeneration-growth is happening everywhere.
- PERMACULTURE, A QUIET REVOLUTION (Bill Mollison / Scott London) -> permaculture is subversive, and peaceful.
- TERRIBLISMA (Alex Steffen) -> that is, the “strange, gratified awe one feels when beholding dreadful disasters and acts of God from afar.”
- THE ABOLITION OF WORK (Bob Black) -> instead of work, Black calls for “collective adventure in generalized joy and freely interdependent exuberance.”
- THE GIFT ECONOMY (Dave Pollard) -> Dave is brilliant, and a great guy; he is rightly passionate about the gift economy, which must be the economy of the future.
- THE MEADOW ACROSS THE CREEK (Thomas Berry) -> Berry sets forth a paradigm-shifting vision of man’s proper role in the cosmos. I was shocked.
- THEOPOETICS: THAT THE DEAD MAY BECOME GARDENERS AGAIN (Matt Guyn): Theopoetics is where deep religion is heading in the future. I am trying to engage it in my novel.
- TOWARD AN IGNORANCE-BASED WORLDVIEW (Wes Jackson) -> including these excellent two sentences “Having studied the exits, their imaginations are less narrow. Darting eyes have the potential to see more. “
- WATERSHED WISDOM OF THE BEAVER (Toby Hemenway) -> a stunning metaphor for what it is that permaculturists are doing in the universe
- WHAT IS THE MONKEYSHERE? (David Wong) -> humans should work in groups of <150, not 300 million
