I used to own it! Lost it in one of my many moves…

I didn't realize you were into this sort of thing. How long have you been interested in permaculture?
Does this interest go into agriculture in general or did it come from a background in ag?

Oliver lives on 90 acres in an "off grid" style. Once all the commotion dies down I want to get him on the podcast to tease out Ag, permaculture, off grid, bitcoin, Wavlake and new models for artists to make revenue without Sony/BMI leeching off of them.
Yeah, there was a period in 2010-11 where I was really into permaculture. I remember reading a lot about it and watching all kinds of videos. I also visited a permaculture kind of a farm in Ecuador once. And I was, yeah, just making distant plans of implementing some of these principles myself. In the last few years, I've lost a little bit of interest in it. Not in the fundamental principles, but more because I eat more of a carnivore diet, and so the kind of changes that you have to make to a landscape to allow for ruminants to graze and stuff, they aren't so drastic compared to, you know, if you want to grow crops in a permaculture kind of way. But I still love the idea of, like, there are ideas around forests and forestry and yeah, actually seeing your post makes me curious to rethink some of these ideas and see how they apply to Texas. So thanks for the reminder. (Transcribed from speech with ChatGPT’s whisper)
Permaculture still plays a major role for many people who primarily raise ruminants.
Maybe they have food for now,, but can they feed their stock in a drought?
Maybe they have reliable stock ponds, but where does their personal drinking water come from?
Maybe they have hardy animals that do not require shelter, but what do they build their own house out of?
Maybe they will be left alone by their neighbors and the local government. If not, do they have the social principles from permaculture to determine their decisions in how to best interact with that social edge? Or better yet, are they able to prevent the conflict in the first placed?
