permaculture

[Sean Maley <semaley@yahoo.com>]

I don't like to look at the conflict as "Corporate" in nature.  I'm seeing 
the same paradigm as practiced for 10,000 years, before corporations and 
before we knew we lived on a globe.  When we wear our blinders and see the 
world as top-down controllable, we become a part of that vision.  Unless we 
take these blinders off to see the folly, it will be hard to see the truth.  
We will just keep sitting there on the run-a-way train and wonder about the 
nerve of others jumping out the windows.

"We forgot that we're only a single culture and came to think of ourselves as 
humanity itself."

Tribal lands have only been taken in the past under certain conditions.  
Sometimes the tribes become stressed from cities justifying a need for more 
agricultural land as city populations overshoot.  Such tribes become 
demonized for the cannibalism that they become forced into (though more 
common in cities, thus a demon); become the slave labor force for an 
extremely inefficient and unreliable means of providing food; or are 
perceived as poor homeless savages that need to be "saved" and given 
"purpose" (slavery).  Otherwise, tribes become coerced by the thought of 
"land ownership" and become cities themselves.

"More land, more food production, more population growth.
...
With more people, we need more food.  With more food available, we soon have 
more people
...
With more people, we need more food. With more food, we soon have more 
people. With more people, we need more food. With more food, we soon have 
more people."

Now is the time to use the rules of city against itself, as we have no 
further that we can expand.  We don't have to be stuck in the vision of 
hierarchy.  I suggest using the rules of land ownership and corporations in 
ways that exist outside such a vision.  So long as we draw more energy from 
the global market than it draws from us, we win in the end.  However, we must 
comply in specific ways to avoid military conquest.  Use the system in a way 
that is not intended, otherwise known as hacking.

Get a life boat and be ready to pick up refugees.  We won't be able to save 
everyone, but we can try our best to get as many life boats together as we 
can manage.  Just get off the train before it's too late.

How it happens:

"It can happen that circumstances may shatter a culture's vision of its place 
in the scheme of things, may render its mythology meaningless, may strangle 
its song."..."Order and purpose are replaced by chaos and bewilderment."

How are we the same?  How are we a new vision?

irresponsible in the pure sense of the word - are likely to increase economic 
disproportion and the conflict it causes."
