The inspiration that lead me to this 'place'...

It was my recent The Vortex :: American Workaholics DFILM that instigated this. I figured most of you just delete my emails anyway without reading them. Lord knows you wouldn't want your employer catching you reading some of my rebellious rants. ;^) Come (or don't come) as often as you like, when you like and when you can get away with slacking off. Praise Bob!

PREPARE. RESPOND. ADAPT.

I speak of the Hohokam in AZ in 3BC who, in spite of not raising domesticated animals and only used wood modestly, a life 'apparently' based on sustainability, with the increase in population food became scarce, environmental changes, imposition of irrigation strategies/over-farming and social responses, er 'ceremonial activities' weakened their system's resilience and made their system vulnerable to the climate extremes. And the Norse society in Greenland in the 1720s sticking to established patterns, elaborating on its churches and 'ideological conditioning' of the population instead of its hunting skills. And so it goes today... After my mid-20s, I didn't subscribe to this societal nonsensical crap that's dished-out on the eeidiot boxes.
