Leading experiences in remote areas w/ uncommon access. Autonomy & decentralization in the natural world.

Lovely. Been a ghostly international fan for a long time, #[1]​. Thanks for bringing it here.

localfutures.org. They do great work!

#[3]​ I’m leading a small-group trip there in December from the 6-15th. Want to join us?

A little about me:

If I could pick “one thing” that motivates me and that I’m passionate about, it’s “sustainable systems”.

This includes (but is not limited to) economic sustainability (ex. Bitcoin, localized economies, small business), health sustainability (ex. plant-based, natural, organic, alkaline, “non-dogmatic” diet), environmental sustainability (ex. reduce, reuse, recycle…but “actually”, not just parading around with paper straws), efficiency & effectiveness in organizations, sustainable models of education, etc.

Where does Nostr fit in? Nostr preserves free speech. Without free speech, democratic values (read: values in accordance with natural law) cease to exist. Free speech must be preserved in order for freedom to exist. Simple.

In our modern social media based world, Nostr will be a key player in speech preservation.

The next step is ensure that education systems teach you what to DO with free speech, rather than shoveling narratives (of ANY kind, right or left). Just because someone says it and just because it SOUNDS convincing, doesn’t mean it’s true.

The primary goal of education should be teaching how to critically think. Without critical thinking skills, people simply fall for the most confident, well-spoken, gripping, entertaining speaker, whether or not their logic is truly correct. This is not sustainable and the easiest way to get politically rug pulled.

I don’t have THE answers, but big picture sustainability motivates me every single day. I am interested in new and better systems that help us get to a more sustainable world.

Love all of this. Are you familiar with the work of Local Futures?

Nice! Is that a crocus or a different wildflower? So fun to see what pops up in the forest this time of year.

So far we are working with communities in Thailand, Bhutan, Indonesia, Dominica, Greenland, & Albania. We’re in conversation w/ others in Papa New Guinea, Mongolia, & Canada as well with those to come later. I will share more details as I get into regular posts!

Thank you #[2]​! Super excited to be taking my nostr baby steps :)

#[2]​ it’s amazing what a week in the jungle highlands can do to reverse the aging process. ;)

#[2]​ thank you!

Thank you #[2]​ I am thrilled to be here and learning from you all.
