That was tv-inspired, as I am an audio-visual kind of guy. Lately I came across another brilliant tv-series that reinvigorated puerile notions

Fossil2new Fuel

How're things moving with you? Still constrained by the yoke of FF (fossil fuel) dependency? Sure you are; we all are somewhere along our life's value-chain.

Perma-food-culture

"Classical" businesses are starting to talk more about the opportunity profit in "culture" over that of "cost accounting". 2blogs ago we looked at the idea of "true cost" calculation.[mfn]https://parkecovillagetrust.co.uk/2022/08/nuts-and-fruitcakes/[/mfn] Even the Park Ecovillage at Findhorn is studying the possibilities of larger scale food&energy production, in line with their enlightened "0carbon30"

Greater fool

In You We Trust: hope you had a happy USIndependence Day! Change. We're being bombarded with opportunities to so do because global millennial environments are proving to be utterly VUCA.

Elevate, in action

Why? Why? Why? Are we there yet? Recurrent travel themes for children and adults. Young&old live in a puzzle.

Hope of humankind

Which hope? "Community" or Hegel's "self as the will-to-power" in conflict with another's "will-to-power?" Individualism or communalism? A poignant discussion point in today's world: on the stages of the Ukraine & N.Korea, of ecovillages, family homes -- wherever individuals, desiring to gather together, choose to continue/slow down or even stop
