A warm year end greetings followers and friends!
Woof! It’s been almost a year since we started this podcast – I really had no idea it would evolve to a weekly thing (+ Frankly’s!). There is so much to do as society gradually – or suddenly -heads into The Great Simplification, it is sometimes hard to prioritize. I still fundamentally believe in the emergent human response to collective challenges – but to do that, more people need to see the systems synthesis of what we face – which was the initial thrust of this platform.
I learned a lot along the way – about the world, about my guests and about myself. This all is a journey without a clear destination – for now I am grateful to know there are so many humans – around the world – following – and extending this conversation. We can’t directly fight the Superorganism – the dynamic is too strong even for heads of state or the worlds richest -but changes are coming – what we can do -all of us – is change the initial conditions that future events will encounter. That’s the tiny contribution of this podcast and YouTube channel.
Here is a brief (15 minute) impromptu reflection, with a few predictions and some personal/podcast intentions. Much more to come in near future. Thanks for being part of this.
warmly,
Nate

Shane has been busy with the next generation on and off the farm too, visiting schools with a herd of Old Irish Goats. Once a common sight in the Irish countryside, this rare native breed is helping to revive a cultural heritage that has lessons to teach us today, on biodiversity, wildfire management, and the transmission of knowledge from one generation to the next.

A climate doctrine must integrate resource mobilization, agricultural modernization, energy diversification, and territorial planning within a coherent framework—one that anticipates rather than reacts, protects rather than repairs, and organizes rather than fragments.

Building an inclusionary common sense will take an understanding of the relationship between our social history, our experience of inclusionary social policies, and the opposing psychosocial dynamic that promotes a readiness to scuttle the gains those policies produced through a belonging based on fear and threat.
