I think I understand where you are coming from and often share your frustration.

That’s why I like the expression “the butterfly only remembers its time as a butterfly, never as the caterpillar”.

Give people time. Most will sadly likely never come to the same conclusions as you. But some will. You were also wrong at some point about something and had to have the time and space to figure it out. Give others the same courtesy and be helpful when/if the opportunity presents itself.

The thing that can really never be overstated though is always leave room for error in your most core beliefs.

If the thought of being proven wrong about a core belief fills you with anything other than sheer excitement, you may still have a ways to go yourself.

This is great advice. Thank you for your perspective. I definitely have a ways to go and may really never understand it all. They say To teach a subject is how you know you have true mastery of the topic. It’s exiting in the terms of figuring out some of the key answers and makes me want to expedite the onboarding of others. Maybe as I become a master of the subject it will become easier to educate and teach. I am thirsty though and I will keep drinking from the gauntlet of knowledge so long as it remains full.

Thank you for a nice reply. :)

I can’t remember where I read it but I like the idea of there not being singular “correct” answers to human problems. Instead I like to imagine a whole bunch of possible solutions or approaches, each with their own imperfections. Intelligence or wisdom in this model becomes about learning the “wrongness” in as many approaches as possible, instead of only learning the “rightness” of one.

It’s funny you say that. As I read through Bill Mollison’s Permaculture Design Manual he talks about design approaches in which one model that resinated with me was the concept of DESIGN AS A SELECTION OF OPTIONS OR PATHWAYS BASED ON DECISIONS. Not one option/ decision is the goal, rather multiple approaches can lead to multiple beneficial outcomes. This concept can be used not only in permaculture design but life design. Funny how things correlate and come together at specific times in your life.
