(What a beautiful, eloquent, inviting name, and word, for a podcast 2.0 platform! https://fountain.fm/episode/zo8jTRKe57ikXVUCXB87 : : : : : : : This is a guarantee that i can NOT do justice to the eloquence, totality, comprehensiveness of the above podcast Good news about Iran, for once! Though not necessarily (directly) about politics. Iranians were very polite and happy. Why is it that no one wants to see good news about Iran. The (surprising) power (as in empowering) of a nation being sanctioned! Makes me curious about Iranian, Persian history. Let's reverse Saharasia--a simple, unofficial tribute to the late James DeMeo, author of Saharasia: The 4,000 BCE Origins of Child Abuse, Sex-Repression, Warfare and Social Violence in the Deserts of the Old World. We can do the reboot and regreen the Sahara and other (human-created) deserts. Deserts often follow civilizations. Deserts, rather than desserts, usually follow in the wake of developed man. Though we could make it abundant, like Geoff Lawton has shown with his Greening the Desert project in the Dead Sea. Then also check out the great work of Neal Spakman in Arabia with his El Bayda project. Link to Wilhelm Reich, who influenced DeMeo: amoung others, orgone energy.

Low Time Preference Football with Kieran Gibbs. Episode 128. of The Bitcoin Standard Podcast with host Saifedean Ammous. https://saifedean.com/podcast/128-low-time-preference-football-with-kieran-gibbs npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea Hat's off, and a shout out, to Guy Swann, and, of, the Bitcoin Audible, for his beautiful, inspiring, empowering, ongoing work and continuity in gifting us with, and sharing about, freedom tech and other "bright spots" (i didn't coin this phrase; rather it is an invent of certain brothers who i don't remember their name!) in this new, slightly foreign and enigmatic world of modernity! Guy, you are the tireless proponent, gifted reader, speaker and host of such a gem of a creation. I like the way he--"The guy who has read more about Bitcoin than anybody else you know!"--differentiates, "forks", creates edges in, categorizes,... his podcst into chats, reads and Guy's take. : : : : : : : Specifically, i would like to highlight the Wormhole app which i found out about in the below-referenced recent Bitcoin Audible podcast episode. BitcoinAudible "Guy’s Take104 – The User Doesn’t Care About Your Mission https://bitcoinaudible.com/guys-take_104-the-user-doesnt-care-about-your-mission/ Though my experience using the Wormhole app is limited so far, i am pretty impressed. The speediness, brevity of downloading files--since i am used to a rather low-bandwith/througput internet connection: patched in via mobile service hotspotting--is mind-boggling! Just as shattering, is that one can set this up withOUT requiring centralisation, permissioned systems, fiction, layers, masks--these last three being used a bit more in a fluid, playful, exploring, vague sense. One thing to get used to, or design around/for (limitations can be good and help define things better, as, amoung others probably, is an important element of permaculture--see the fine works of co-originators David Holmgre and the late Bill Mollison) is the (relatively) short time the files (which YOU upload) are stored there. You also specify the amount of downloads. : : : : : : : To sweeten the offerings, i would also draw your attention to a bunch of other powerful (as in empowering) tech stacks and resources listed in the shownotes of this same episode... with links. : : : : : : : I also liked the main thread running through the episode which showed the beacon or keystone direction which the design of software, products should go in that the user is first and does not (necessarily) care or should not be forced to know, comprehend, support or care about the technology. Instead the focus is that the user, pleb gets to do what they need done. Anyways it is explained more eloquently in this podcast which i think was a presentation at some Bitcoin event. : : : : : : : Just so you know dear Guy Swann: my late uncle, my cousin and the middle name of my son, ALL share your same name: Guy! : : : : : : : Thank you. Merci. Gracias. Danke schoen. (#AskNostr: How do i do special characters in Nostr like "umlaut"?) Grazie. (Spelled by sound rather than necessarily accurate spelling. NOT AI checked.) @nprofile…vvhl @nprofile…963f #AskNostr npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea I am wondering about the Nostr x RSS nexus. What is available in the Nostr world for RSS feeds? Would Fountain perform this function? What sparked this was crappy backup practices on my part: i did not have an updated, current, list of all my feeds. My keystone app for feeds--mostly audio, radio, podcast--was RSS Guard. When it automatically updated (i use Arch Linux OS) to v. 5.0.3, i lost everything. Well, maybe it would be possible to find it again, but i would be challenged by wondering where to look. This experience--of going down RSS shit's creek--reminds me to also follow the permaculture principle of making sure every important function be serviced or provided by various means: in this case having several iterations, file formats, backups, lists,... of my current version of feeds, my meta (not the corporation--the word corpse is keystone in the definition of corporation) feeds. Seems like i have travelled this similar path in the bookmark (for browsers) world. #AskNostr #RSS In case that (the hashtags) doesn't work: '#AskNostr' '#RSS' npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea Upon seeing your photograph, right away i thought of this: the "Your shit is our bread and butter" drawing on the back cover of the amazing book, "The Humanure Handbook", by Joseph Jenkins. Amoung many other black gold nuggets, there's also the much needed and appreciated element of humour peppered throughout this book which asks and delves into how one might better and more elegantly deal with their shit and integrate back into cycles of fertility in which one is more directly involved--both with decomposition and (re)composition. Powerful shit. And also, let the mycelium at it (our shit)!

If it is a proper analogy, it is an additive rather than subtractive technology in that you do not have to plow or snowblow the road you are riding on as is the case with most vehicles. As long as there is enough snow or ice, you have your road. It is also--within reason--possible to choose your own route: you are the cowboy or outlaw of the snowy, white 'wastes' in which you travel in a grey zone in and out of officialdom: going on the marked/allowed trails and forging your own path. The winter landscape is your pallette. npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea There are also some people who download it and listen to it OFFline on VLC or another media player. It would be nice if Fountain, @nprofile…zau3, or some other team could still allow people to listen OFFline while also leaving open the potential to earn sats from listening--maybe in a similar way to how Lightning works in that one can still do transactions without having to be online (as in connected to layer 1 Bitcoin). npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea Fuck you Walker. @nprofile…yza6 @nprofile…u840 https://www.fountain.fm/episode/fZAu5hKJ7vgcOhGIUeui @nprofile…lces provides a unique perspective given his bridging of Africa and UK and provides a glimpse of the power of federations with other tech stacks. #nevent1q…z8xd npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea A beautiful and amazing story full of courage and transformation. Ana was born twice into a monetary reset (once physically in the former Soviet Union as it collapsed/disintegrated, and then again when she moved to the USA at the time of the 2008 crash) which made her eventually, but more quickly than most (probably because of here own, her parents' and her grandparents' experience with currency evaporating in value overnight), see the value, premise behind, and need for, Bitcoin. Her story and journey reveals the importance of spirit and energy, and not dismissing it. As but one example, Anastasia cured herself of a growth on her arm by working through her issues and forgiving others through 7 days of writing it out, journaling using Susan Hay's method. I was pleasantly surprised and inspired of what can happen in the medical system of other countries, cultures and paradigms, like in this story where the nurse at the orphanage she was living at was the one who told her that the growth was a result of her anger, negativity or past trauma... and that it could be reversed and transformed. Probably more likely to happen via a nurse than a doctor wouldn't you say?! Ana turned out great with the help of an orphanage in Russia, where she spent about 12 years of her life--as this was a way she (and her sister) could be guaranteed food as well as other opporunities (e.g.: to walk around and see new things in the Siberian city in which the orphanage was located and to be able to use e-mail at a time when the internet was hardly available, at least to the public!). All of this was contrary--at least to me--to my preconceived ideas of what an orphanage is all about: my conception was that such a place and institution was largely negative. Opportunities and another exponential change occured when she was adopted by a family in the USA where her young brother--that she had only seen twice before--was already living and where she took on the great challenge of learning English. There seems to be a lot that can be learned of the degenerative and limiting experiences of people who lived during the former Soviet Union or other people who were under the boot of communism, socialism. There is much we can gain from the wisdom and the crappy experience of these folks so that we might be able to leap-frog or dampen our particular government's characteristics or desire to be like these communist systems. Efrat, thank you for setting up this beautiful interview, conversation, and for sharing it to the world. Born Into Monetary Reset: A Russian Orphan's Path - Anastasia Canonica You're The Voice (with Efrat Fenigson) Ep. 124 https://fountain.fm/episode/PdzqKV0wY2S8KinvDkjd @nprofile…8xhx npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea Do you have any documentation as to how your Nostr remote signer works? I would like to know the mechanics of how it works. How/Why should i trust Primal, or others in the growing field of signers, to not know my nsec? How do i NOT paste my nsec around the Nostr clients and other parts of this new, fascinating and hopeful world? This is an honest question and i am greatful that there are other options like your new addition. I recently had challenges accessing internet in my normal route and wondered about the fragility of relying on the Alby extension which is only (mostly) available in certain browsers. Also, a related question is, how can i be sure that my first revelation of my nsec--which happened through Primal--has not compromised the sovereignty of my Nostr life? Many thanks for all that you have done for the Nostr world, which will make this world more solid, and also thank you for having introduced this new and other way of signing Nostr events. npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea Is there a way to distinguish between reposts of mine or referencing others' works such as with BIBLIO or bibliographic links? I would like to be able to, when in my profile section of Primal, be able to get a listing of just my posts, notes to others which are NOT a response or reply to some other event?! Will there ever be a way to highlight in notes? I have asked one from the Project Alexandria team, maybe others may reply!? How does versioning work in Nostr. Laeserin never got my question or responded so i thought i would ask others of that team or those interested in the digging into the way communication happens and can be worked with when it is rather emergent, as in emergent design of the lady who wrote the book by that same name. #asknostr @nprofile…5zcy npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea The layers part Jeff keeps mentioning is fascinating and keystone. Regarding protocols, Bitcoin and Nostr. Layers. Build in layers. Keep the original, base, layer 1, primera. Build the socio-cultural diversity on top of. Do not threaten the essence. Build on the longest running no-nonsence mathematically checked or cryptographically verified and not conned. Seems similar to the keystone concept of edge and edge effect in permaculture, which, itself, i suppose is based on the ecological or biological "edge effect". There are various edges--from the bio-physical to the cultural--our cultivated ecologies or cultivated ecosystems we build and inhabit. David Bennett's "Bitcoin and..." lives generously somewhere along this fertile edge or continuum as he delves in that which is beyond Bitcoin, the and... portion of his podcast name and radio signature ID. It is like the "and Other Stuff" part of Nostr which is increasingly being explored and shared within the Nostr ecosystem, or would it be better called ecotone--maybe something the dear late Stephen Harrod Buhner may have left me in inspiration, glowing ember-like still in me to try and see differently, more amply. Thank you for this. npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea "a fully working Desktop Mode."

The issue may be because of my slow(er) internet connection. I 'patch' into the internet by using hotspot via mobile phone. npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea I don't believe so because i have never heard of that. BTW, would you mind explaining how you added, for example, @Efrat Fenigson to your notes. Mine does not seem to go through--it doesn't change to the red-purple colour.

Though having to hold the security button is an extra hassle. I also wonder how they fare in cold season. If there are any parallels between battery-powered chainsaws and battery powered cars,... beware the hype and realities of how cold influences things The gas-powered chainsaw in my experience has more power and lasts longer. I would probably rather use a gas-powered saw when felling trees. It is also probably more apt for serious (wide diameter logs) and longer sessions of bucking logs--for firewwod. Beyond the dillemnas and questions around battery-powered vs. petroleum-based chainsaws, enjoy the fire (fire television), forestry and the potential of regenerative forestry systems (including, agroforestry, coppice (see the work, including book, by Mark Krawczyk in the actually long-historied culture of coppicing in Europe, the Americas and beyond) and the general abundance and endless giving of a forestr or a stand of trees in that one can continually harvest something from the forest or stand while also improving the productivity and biodiversity, ecological health of the forest. Amoung others, see the in the field-forest work of Merv Wilkinson based somewhere on Vancouver Island and his spectacular work and observations of regen forestry. I enjoying trying out a friend's and country neighbour's battery-powered chainsaw. Also, if you think of the amount of slavery and energy (embedded energy) that goes into the manufacture of the battery-powered saws is greater than all the work that will ever come out of the saw during it lifetime. Though it could be useful if you have consistent power (electricity) whether from the centralized grid or off grid, it is kind of nice to think that you can always run a saw. npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea Conoces Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, de Ledn??? ledn.io Uno chango de tu mismo pago.

I don't yet know when she died. : : : : : : : I read it in Didi Pershouse's most recent e-mailout. (Find her on Substack). "Climate on the planet is influenced by many living processes in land, sea, and sky. Humans have influenced nearly all of these processes, as you know from my previous posts. However, certain regions have been changed so radically by human projects, that the effects are compounding and cascading. If we focus our efforts on these places as “trigger points” (or what the late Carol Sanford called “nodal interventions,”) we could have a far greater effect, as we work to restore a living climate." —Didi Pershouse : : : : : : : Author, teacher, contrarian, entrepreneur, corporate/business leader. https://carolsanford.com/ https://substack.com/@carolsanford : : : : : : : I remember the late Dan Palmer, host of Making Permaculture Stronger podcast, having interviewed Carol numerous times. That may well be how i first came upon her. They got into the material quite deeply and it showed how ingrained into the culture the separation, objective and degenerative programming goes, how successful the mechanistic, quantitative world view has been delivered by the psychological operations. If anybody wants to explore the Carol Sanford x Making Permaculture Stronger nexus see: https://makingpermaculturestronger.net/?s=Carol+Sanford : : : : : : : A few keystones of Carol Sanford's i remember--partially presented as a beginning index--are the following: imaging, vs. imagining : : : : : : : feedback, the fallacy of only for machines it assumes a linear, reductionist, world-as-machine paradigm life, people, culture is much more "messy", complex, emergent Writing may not be part of one's job, but writing can improve thinking. Sanford writes about feedback much more deeply & eloquently in her book "No More Feedback". : : : : : : : When communicating, use "Earth", instead of "the earth". Problems with objectification. Again, this is very brute and butchered, read or hear her explain it. She is part Cherokee. : : : : : : : Questioning biomimicry. It's fallacy. I seem to remember part of it might be because we are already living, life, bio. : : : : : : : Fallacy of watershed. Sanford suggests lifeshed instead. It is problematic when you separate things. She breaks down the simplicity and fallacy of the parts and the whole mindset. As Bill Mollison (co-originator of permaculture) states below, it takes a real genius to comprehend where something--like a tree--begins and where it ends! "A tree is, broadly speaking, many biomass zones. These are the stem and crown (the visible tree), the detritus and humus (the tree at the soil surface boundary) and the roots and root associates (the underground tree). Like all living things, a tree has shed its weight many times over to earth and air, and has built much of the soil it stands in. Not only the crown, but also the roots, die and shed their wastes to earth. The living tree stands in a zone of decomposition, much of it transferred, reborn, transported, or reincarnated into grasses, bacteria, fungus, insect life, birds, and mammals. Many of these tree-lives 'belong with' the tree, and still function as part of it. When a blue jay, currawong, or squirrel buries an acorn (and usually recovers only 80% as a result of divine forgetfulness), it acts as the agent of the oak. When the squirrel or wallaby digs up the columella of the fungal tree root associates, guided to these by a garlic-like smell, they swallow the spores, activate them enzymatically, and deposit them again to invest the roots of another tree or sapling with its energy translator. The root fungi intercede with water, soil, and atmosphere to manufacture cell nutrients for the tree, while myriad insects carry out summer prunning, decompose the surplus leaves, and activate essential soil bacteria for the tree to use for nutrient flow. The rain of insect faeces may be crucial to forest and prairie health. What part of this assembly is the tree? Which is the body or entity of the system, and which the part? An Australian Aborigine might give them all the same 'skin name', so that a certain shrub, the fire that germinates the shrub, and the wallaby that feeds off it are all called waru, although each part also has its name. The Hawaiians name each part of the taro plant differently, from its child or shoot, to its nodes and 'umbilicus'. It is a clever person indeed who can separate the total body of the tree into mineral, plant, animal, detritus, and life! This separation is for simple minds; the tree can be understood only as its total entity which, like ours, reaches out into all things. Animals are the messengers of the tree, and trees the gardens of animals. Life depends upon life. All forces, all elements, all life forms are the biomass of the tree." —Bill Mollison Permaculture: A Designer's Manual, pp.138-139. : : : : : : : #CarolSanford #feedback #watershed #BillMollison #MakingPermacultureStronger #DanPalmer #permaculture #DidiPershouse #biomimicry #trees npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea Do yourself a favour and look into the fallacy of the germ theory--which has never been proven yet. npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea Re antimicrobial: look into the germ theory. npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea Don't go the germ theory way. npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea https://npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr.blossom.band/dbf666f1dd1f29c829ee779984f1776840dd16b579afd16c9598c020ec7fa87d.jpg GN Getting ready for, and looking forward to, the season of the "Long Shadow".

Strike, a Bitcoin payments company, now partners with BitKey (Block's hardware wallet product) allowing users to automatically sweep their Bitcoin purchases to self-custody. Cash App, another Block product, relies on mempool.space for blockchain analytics. These aren't isolated cases of cooperation; they represent a fundamental shift in how Bitcoin companies operate. "It's like as if everything that I do, you do, Andrew does, invites the fact that we're all going to win because of it." - Jonathan Kirkwood This "co-opetition" model, as Jonathan described it, creates positive-sum outcomes where the work of one participant strengthens the entire network. When Strike integrates with BitKey or Cash App uses mempool.space infrastructure, both companies benefit from enhanced user experiences and reduced development costs. The collaborative approach signals that Bitcoin ecosystem participants recognize a shared mission: growing the pie rather than fighting over slices. Every integration, every partnership, every shared tool compounds the advantage of the entire Bitcoin economy.

After a year or so, the newest edition of Permaculture Design magazine (PDM) has surfaced. There is now a new publisher and editor and that is what the delay was (mostly/probalby) about. Below, please find the link to the current editorial page or publisher's message, called "Editor's Edge". Edge as in the concept in ecology, called edge effect, in which two or more systems come together and at which point there is a greater diversity of life and distinct conditions/species found there. New, and different, compared to each of the two (or more) original systems coming together at this nexus--like a Venn diagram. Edge is a keystone part of permaculture. Remember that one can inhabit many parts along this rich edge continuum--from the ecological/biological to the cultural. Regarding that rather long wait between editions, releases, it seems there was an error or a joke made in the most recent printing. Given that the magazine has transitioned to a new editor/publisher, maybe this is why date on the latest edition reads August 2024 even though it arrived in August of this year! (Look carefully at the cover photograph or Toc.) Seems like it's a joke just as much as it could be an error. By joke i mean in the same style as black, English, humour or as an April fool's joke. https://www.permaculturedesignmagazine.com/post/editor-s-edge : : : : : : : Subscriptions can be had, including lifetime, with the choice to get print or/and digital format. They also encourage the organization of a local guild for the purpose of obtaining and distributing larger volumes of the magazine or for a group of plebs. Probably discounted price. I gift several copies of each edition to local libraries in part so there may be greater traction or eyeballs looking at this stuff. The library as fulcrum seems to provide great(er) distribution and potential. With a subscriptions, even just paper, you may have access to the entire historic digital collection, manifested as both iterations of the magazine--Permaculture Activist (PCA) and Permaculture Design (PDM). : : : : : : : The following are some other 'offerings' of Permaculture Design magazine even though they MAY only be available through a subscription... * Historic editions, volumes and numbers available in digital or paper format, though the availability of the "in-your-hands", fibre, palpable, sheet++, anologue,... back issues depends on whether they still hold inventory of the legacy printing. Don't know if they do on-demand type printing for their historic editions. * Index of the themes, subjects,... covered in BOTH iterations of the magazine. They have both a general index and a species index. I believe the index is, or was, being released in parts. Have not requested any such files lately, so don't know where they are at with that project. The digitizing of indeces at that time was INcomplete in sofar as having the information for all their editions. They were still in the process of being digitized. [Do you think this kind of information (indeces of the magazine) would be great to publish on Nostr?!] ++ Regarding the word sheet (above paragraph), see the interview of John Waters for his thinking and appreciation of the sheet of paper, newsprint--incuding it's multifaceted nature and uses.

Made of newsprint; B&W (well black and beige). Simple in its presentation, design; yet "enough". Not much, or fancy, colour except for the front and back covers (inside and out).There used to be a midway or spine colour insert which listed books for sale. Don't know if that made it more costly to print or if it was more because the sale of books was not paying!? The simplicity, essence of the analog, print, paper, fiber version reminds me of "Stay humble and stack." Permaculture Design is a long-running North American-based permaculture magazine whose focus tends toward, though not exclusively, North America-based themes, projects, groups, people, climates, courses, activities, advertisements, book(s) (reviews) and questions. I was introduced to the Permaculture Activist magazine in 1998 when i first got my hands on a physical copy. It was while doing the first leg of my WWOOFing experience westbond across the varied landscapes and climates of Kanada. I found it at the Kootenay Coop in Nelson, BC (in the Kootenay Mountains in British Columbia, Canada). In those days, the acronym WWOOF stood for Willing Workers on Organic Farms, not the current, PC, World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. They had to remove the word work; did not want to encourage or associate (with) work! Anyways, WWOOFing was a beautiful experience and a highly foundational time in my life, including that i embarked on this journey before completing the remaining credits/course left in order to complete/fulfill my BA (i nearly did not want to go back to finish my BA because this was so much more fulfilling and connecting. I loved WOOFing and it transformed me. It was the combination of hand, heart and mind which i so loved. And needed. It was highly motivating, inspiring, fascinating and connecting. WWOOFing was a beautifu mix of things, ways of being and seeing, landscapes, cultivated ecologies, climates, particular cultures. I could always associate with the quote "Fascination Relieves the Mind", which, not-surprisingly, i also encountered in a particular edition of Permaculture Activist! : : : : : : : I have to say that lately Permaculture Design magazine has been a little disappointing in some axes, like spouting to much, or not having examined enough, the idea of climate change, the mainstream narrative--with it's histerico-lazer-miopic focus on carbon (dioxide). How and why would permaculture want to go/be carbon-free?! Are we, and our God technologies, not carbon beings?! Permaculture is NOT about adopting a simplistic, mechanistic, monoculture, "consensus-based science" (when that happens there is no science; take a look at how modern "peer-reviewed" science/publishing actally operates!), linear and highly political take on climate science, science or in general. This unquestioned and blind supporting of the climate lie actually does injustice, a disservice, to permaculture, its foundational principles and is forwarding--even though permaculture is such a general or vague word. A suggested approach instead of being a "permaculturist" (wouldn't that just be another "ism"?) is to do whatever you are already doing or talented/skilled/gifted at, and use the permaculture toolbox or navigate through the lens of permaculture to do that! Instead, they might want to check out something like Cathedral Project as but one example, and a reminder, about how things can look when a non-linear, emergent design and non-mechanistic approach is taken! https://www.bitcoinandshow.com/tag/cathedral/ : : : : : : : Best of luck Thom Illingworth in your keystone place as new editor and publisher! May there be many, many more years to come for this fine publication--despite whatever challenges or chaos MIGHT surface! Maybe PDM needs to be capitalised, funded, encouraged and further built with the long/slow time preference of Bitcoin-amoung others of the 8 Forms of Capital (see the work of Ethan Roland-Soloviev and Gregory Landua). : : : : : : : N.B.: I want to learn how to take better quality of the type of photographs included herein. Make do with the quality i have provided. Anyways, the main thing is to, if interested, see some details, or the vibe, of PDM and consider subscribing. No, i do not represent any financial interest in this bare bones publication.

Though the particulars will tend to focus on that which came up in Cathedral IV. : : : : : : : You have beautifully and eloquently summarized the Bitcoin x fiat x soil x... relationship of Cathedral Project in few words while also providing an example, with the keystone particulars of this story, of how regenerative spirals might work or look. God technologies is right! : : : : : : : Communications. I appreciate seeing the ways you use Nostr. Like how you regularly remind, introduce and invite people to (explore) your Cathedral Project even though you are not necessarily posting new content. It exemplifies well what came up in your read of liminal's article, "Understanding Knowlede", or your later podcast conversation: (it is possible to) use a Nostr note in a multitude of ways. I don't know what all your reasons for making, or ways of using, the "lowly" note are. Some of them MIGHT be for/as: summary; promotion of Cathedral and the themes therein; informal index; regular, repeating reminder (and log) of Cathedral and its development; invitation for listener-reader feedback~~ ; episode plan, "ToC" or slideshow notes; notice of episode release (text/article or podcast); taster; tester; provide snippets from a particular part in the series/project; short spurt of details, particulars or quotes; best choice of hashtags+++ ~~ Author, business leader and teacher Carol Sanford says feedback inhabits "world-as-machine" worldview, the mechanistic, linear and reductionist paradigm which is not useful for, or representative of, living systems and so we might be mindful of our use of the word, or what it really means. +++ BTW, i (Pangaea) am still looking for the syntax on such things as creating hashtags--i mostly publish to Nostr from within Primal though i usually do the longer, more involved communications, within LibreOffice first. I learned that you need to put single quotes around the Nostr user name to have it show up as @Pangaea in your note. You might do that if you aren't following that person. Is this the kind of thing that would be made easier with Primal Studio. I saw somebody had a screenshot of what looked like a fancier dashboard or workspace in some Primal world/product and maybe this was that! : : : : : : : Grass, Legume 'n' Forb. I appreciated the detail you got into about the particularities of grasses, legumes and forbs and how much they should be eaten down relative to below-ground effects of this grazing. Fascinating. Also about the plants' effects on fertility or how they provide some kind of picture of existing conditions of the soil, land. : : : : : : : Corresponding Below-Ground Effects of Above-Ground Disturbance. After hearing about the particularities for the forb and grass world (once again from Episode IV), I wondered about the BELOW ground effects of: chopping down, prunning, coppicing, thinning, felling, pollarding, beaver activity,.... Particularly for/of bushes, trees, ?vines?, more lignin-containing plants, woody plants. Perennials of the NON-forb, -grass type. What happens in the subterranean world after chop 'n' drop? I had heard of the release of N (nitrogen) by the roots after above-ground cutting, as well as some sloughing or leaving behind of organic material. Feed, sponge, aerate, fertilize,... from BELOW with the gift of these organic material ecojewels. I remember Peter Bane (previous editor/publisher of Permaculture Design magazine--formally called Permacultre Activist magazine) writing about the upward and downward pattern (of soil improvement, soil fertility, water, nutrients,...) possibly resulting from our management or cultural practices such as how keyline is done top-down or from the top (allowing water to drain in, organic matter to fall in, allow a pathway for roots to get a good momentum from, entrance of air,... while the results of seeding, planting applying liquid sprays or injections can move upwards and in man other directions (to improve the soil,...) with the plant roots moving minerals, water, nutrients up or to needed parties; as well as the microorganisms that shuttle and share things and information around given that it is, by default, a world based on overflowing abundance. [I later heard this in Cathedral V.] : : : : : : : Geology. I was not aware that the majority of rocks are made of, or originate in/from, carbon! I appreciate this geology snippet since geology, the land, topography has often (when i remember) been a solace for me as to putting things into perspective and remembering my essence. My petty, relative, supposed problems were rather insignificant or when i imagined the intensity of several kilometers thick ice having grinded by over the land where i now stood and to think the current little hills of the highlands here were once as tall as the Himilayas are today! "Geology as god" i remember some kid from another high school telling me this and that geology was his god. We certainly wouldn't have heard that at our Catholic school where we had to, amoung other relative horrors, wear uniforms daily. : : : : : : : Brilliant Synthesization and Emergence of/as Cathedral Project. In general within this Cathedral great work, i am greatful for your hard work in synthesizing and pulling together from all of the diverese materials you have read, experienced and learned about in the fields (pun intended) of soil, grazing, plants, systems thinking, grasslands, and on and on... A rich nexus forms here and exemplifies emergent design--also the kind of emergence of linking and creativity which occur in the sense of liminal's "Understanding Knowledge". : : : : : : : Boat, Liferaft. The boat analogy is also brilliant in helping to describe the process of the 'flowing', synergistic silvo-pastoral system. I could "see" the boat with its different parts--like the wake--increasingly so as you gave examples or explained which part was what: how the boat/lifeboat translated to what's happening in the field with animals, trees, followers (as in lead and follow grazing systems--may not be the official word), microorganism, sectoral flows,... As well, it is interesting how the boat can be explained and used in a variety of ways, yet still keep the analogy afloat. For example, how one can choose whether biochar & microorganism-charged liquids sprays* or drenches ** can be given to the plants, land(scape)(s) before OR/AND after the passing of herbivores, browsers, grazers. Depending how the mix, bio-stimulants, elixir treats them. * So as to ideally reach as much of the plants' phyllosphere as possible! Consider surface area and style/pattern language of leaf surface, stomata, leaf-whole tree surface area. This also reminds me how people design clay-based sprays for apples so as to keep certain bugs away and possibly also for the seperate function/reason of feeding via the stomata. ** ?Usually? applied to soil, mulch rather than to plant surfaces. : : : : : : : John Kempf. Yes, i also appreciate John Kempf and the great work he is doing. There has been much mind-blowing, illusion shattering stuff revealed to me by John (mostly his podcast or interviews of him). He was recently interviewed (see towards the beginning of the interview at the link below) by Matt Powers and they get into the power (as in to empower; pun intended: Matt's surname) of writing, physically writing with pen(cil) and paper. To use paper in general. Analog life. Author Matt Powers released his physical books first, then the e-books and maybe also audio books. Hold the newspaper in your hands. Something palpable. (Start a fire with it after; or use it to catch or mop up messy work; or as insulation; stuffing). The power of writing, or other communication ways, in that it moves the idea, project, inspiration, vibe, dream, step,... further along. Iteration. Matt uses a refillable pen. I seem to remember he spends plenty of time every day writing (by hand). I am not dissing digital or saying only analogue world. The two can co-exist and are actually on a continuum. In this case, i am describing these analog(ue) tech stacks--as many are forgotten, in disuse or have fallen because of the logical fallacy of new(er) is better, appeal to novelty (argumentum novitatis).

The late Stephen Harrod Buhner, prolific author of ~20 books, writes eloquently about the dynamic nature of life and the mind-blowing capability of plants as (bio)chemists and how they continuously adapt to changing conditions given their stationary character--especially in shorter time periods. For a start, see his book (one of a quadrilogy--series of 4) titled "The Lost Language of Plants: The Ecological Importance of Plant Medicines to Life on Earth". “Trees are, for the earth, the ultimate translators and moderators of incoming energy. At the crown of the forest, and within its canopy, the vast energies of sunlight, wind, and precipitation are being modified for life and growth. Trees not only build but conserve soils, shielding them from the impact of raindrops and the desiccation of the wind and sun. If we could only understand what a tree does for us, how beneficial it is to life on earth, we would (as many tribes have done) revere all trees as brothers and sisters.” —Bill Mollison To further delve into the advantages and disadvantages of hilly country, see the brilliant written piece by Rob Rylander titled "Mountainside Gardening", from 2005, copied at the foot of this note. : : : : : : : Mountainside Gardening Rod Rylander May 18, 2005 I often hear people say, “Bottomland — flat bottomland — is what I want for farming.” Mention mountainsides and the quick reply is, “No, it’s marginal land and too expensive to farm.” But mountainside gardening or farming does have its advantages: 1. An acre is measured on the horizontal, so there’s more surface area in an acre of mountainside than in an acre of flatland. 2. Mountainside trees have more leaf-surface area exposed to the sun; on flatland, solar energy is delivered mainly to the tops of trees. 3. Mountain acreage usually costs less. 4. A south-facing mountain slope receives more hours of direct sunlight each day (hence, more solar energy) than mountain valleys do. 5. The growing season is longer on south-facing slopes, since cold air sinks into the valleys and longer days mean more heat is stored in the soil. In Western North Carolina, it’s not unusual to gain two frost-free months at higher elevations. 6. The side of a mountain has good airflow compared to the stagnant, flat bottomlands. 7. Gravity can help move water between beds. Of course, there are disadvantages too: 1. It takes more energy to go up the mountainside (though it is good exercise). 2. Motor-driven machines can’t operate as well on steep slopes (on the other hand, fuel scarcity may soon limit their use anyway). 3. Terraces can be difficult and expensive to build. Converting a mountainside into a viable agricultural system doesn’t have to entail a big investment, however. The reduced use of mechanical equipment can actually offset some of the costs of terracing. And if there’s timber, it can be harvested for construction or sale. But trees hold 80 percent of a forest’s carbon, so when you log, you remove most of the system’s growing capacity. That makes soil-building and terracing (to prevent erosion) urgent. When I cleared my mountainside of timber, I wanted to be sure that I caused no erosion — I needed every bit of dirt for my plants! The forest floor had about two inches of soil packed with small rootlets. I knew that as soon as I cut through this layer, it would open the door to erosion. So before planting, I raked the leaves into contours and scattered grass, wild lettuce, clover and other seeds, plus fertilizer, several times. It worked! Many of the seeds sprouted, creating a cover crop of legumes before any erosion took place. After clearing the land, I had a huge pile of small limbs left over. I used them to create rows on the contour, helping form terraces. I also arranged some big logs along the terraces, secured with stakes made of highly rot-resistant black locust. If the goal is to create an orchard, each tree or shrub requires only a small swale behind a short log. Essentially, you’re creating a series of separate raised beds. There are several ways to make terraces. The conventional — and expensive — approach is to hire someone with a bulldozer. But for some of my terraces, I erected small, 7-foot-long logs vertically in a 2-foot-deep ditch to create a temporary terrace wall. I will now use old automobile tires (filled with dirt and stacked on top of one another, slanting into the mountainside) to construct a retaining wall in front of the log wall. It will be a race between my tire collection and fungus. Hopefully the logs’ decomposition will be slow enough for me to finish the tire wall first. Because trees contain so much of a forest’s nutrients, burying logs is actually one of the most efficient ways to build soil. Masanobu Fukuoka, a Japanese agronomist and philosopher who’s considered one of the founders of permaculture, proved this through extensive experiments in the mid-20th century (see The One-Straw Revolution, Rodale Press, 1978). In Colonial times, farmers would put corn into stumps and let the hogs tear the stumps to pieces in pursuit of the corn. I plan to modify this method slightly, putting corn in holes in the ground above terrace walls to entice the hogs to help level the dirt. Last year I tried the Fukuoka method of gardening, cutting small areas out of the cover crop for planting vegetables, and I’m now an ardent follower. The legumes keep growing, providing a continuous supply of nitrogen to the plants. When we get too much rain, the cover crop absorbs the excess; and during dry times, it shades the soil, reducing evaporation and drying. To manage a sustainable farm or garden, soil health must be improved each year. Forest soils in this region are usually acidic; most vegetables, however, grow better in neutral or basic soils. The common solution is to add agricultural lime, but it’s been shown that as the amount of organic matter in soil increases, the soil’s pH has less effect on the plants in it. At this point, let me confess that I am not a fan of composting — I guess I’m just lazy! More importantly, when plants are composted, the aerobic breakdown releases nitrogen into the air. But when animals eat plants, the nitrogen is captured and made available to fertilize new plants. So a rotation of plants and animals seems to be the natural way of sustaining an agricultural system. (Of course, some residential areas prohibit keeping animals, forcing suburban farmers to rely on worms or hidden rabbits.) And because mountainside farming eliminates the costs of buying, operating and maintaining equipment, more of the income is potential profit. Or, put another way, you can earn less and keep the same amount. And if you choose crops that require more attention and hand labor, you may be able to compete with mechanized producers. Also, by using Fukuoka’s (or someone else’s) organic methods to grow food, you can get a premium price selling to the burgeoning organic market. Crops to consider include strawberries, berry bushes, fruit trees, asparagus, herbs and any vegetables you want to eat. North-facing mountain slopes may be suitable for growing ginseng, goldenseal and shiitake mushrooms. Insect pests can be less of a problem on mountainsides too, due to the enhanced airflow and elevation changes. In addition, I built a long bat house on the front of my house that can accommodate up to 500 bats. I also put platforms underneath the eaves for phoebes and swallows — insectivores that happily nest near human habitations. I’ve also had good results with a combination of Muscovy and Indian runner ducks (the latter, I’ve found, will even eliminate fire ants). On my rooftop, I have a cover crop where the ducks can graze, and I keep my vegetable crops in cages, so the ducks can’t eat the plants while they’re consuming any insects trying to get into the cages. As a bonus, you get eggs: Indian runner ducks outlay the best chickens, and they don’t scratch up the place. So don’t be afraid to turn a south-facing mountainside into your agricultural dream.

Part 2" (I checked the TGfN podcast on both Primal and Coracle), i am writing here. https://fountain.fm/episode/yHXr8jZnTg3xNv0gyijc : : : : : : : Thank you very much for this episode. There are so many empowering tools and different ways of seeing, using, finding and displaying Nostr. Mind-blowing to say the least. I am getting very inspired to inhabit the new Nostr world much more frquently as i can palpably see its driving focus of being generative, open and supporting the people in the Nostr network (rather than the typical closed, permission-giving, profiteering, controlling centralized model of sociall media or tech in general) and in generally allowing for emergent properties to bubble up and be tapped into. There is also something rewarding and inviting about the (sometimes) crude, inconsistent, exploratory, messy nature of the Nostr early days. : : : : : : : I also really appreciate the multifaceted conversations and topics you weave together. : : : : : : : One slight technical question i have--though this might have come up in part 1 of this intro series--follows. When i heard that Nostr is a suite of protocols, i became even more intrigued. Is Nostr fundamentally linked to Bitcoin or can other compensation pathways exist? Specifically the Qort coin of Qortal, which is a PoT (Proof of Time) based blockchain. I am not aware of any other blockchain/crypto that operate this way. The rest are PoW (Proof of Work) and PoS (Proof of Stake). Not necessarily the "official" acronyms--just flying by the seat of my Nosta' pants! And also more generally, which of the protocols or NIPs are mandatory? Might be hard to explain to a non-programmer/-developer. : : : : : : : npub1dd5jxvh5ll7lc2q7yqpmmtmtsrhyhreznegdqlrphteed6ehqw7s7hhkcr Pangaea Source of what?

The same themes and great ideas and inspiration has also surfaced in those podcast episodes of yours in which Obsidian is discussed. So much to think about. There is so much nuance and so many rich edges in the new landscape being opened up for us in Nostr and similar tech stacks. I appreciate the hard work you have done in putting a dent into revealing the power (as in empowering) and characteristics of Nostr and it's exponential potential to reboot our world and time. : : : : : : : I have always found it a challenge to file my notes, writings, drawings in the "correct" folder, file or pile since they NEVER usually just lived in one theme, topic, project, folder, file... I think that the tools and way of doing/looking at things which you remind me of, or have introduced me to, will greatly facilitate in organizing, editing, reworking and revealing surprising connections in my pile of writings and drawings which i have amassed over the decades and am now trying to move and group/package to fruitful ends. Since i am not amassing so many more new writings now and am, instead, in the distilling and organizing phase, i am looking forward to what can come out of using a tool like Nostr to facilitate that proces. The challenge is also how to best work all this together given that i swim in both the analogue (paper, pen(cil), drawing, printed) and digital, internet, online world. : : : : : : : Getting some more snippets of the technical details of Nostr's many different kinds, events, media type and what requirements or elements make up an event/note/type was useful and invites me to want to delve further into this juicy world. I am still trying to grasp and catch up with the Nostr lingo, though i am confident in what i have and can already do and sometimes even see the golden thread linking back to the fundamentals, founding principles of IT, computers and of the freedom and simple power of the internet in its earlier manifestations. : : : : : : : Perhaps a nice simple statement about Nostr--from the perspective of a very early beginner--is that there appear to be much fewer (or no) layers--e.g./i.e.: technology, permissions, trust, deceit, control, manipulation) between oneself and the Nostr network/technology. It was fascinating to learn in John Michael Greer's book, "The Retro Future: Looking to the Past to Reinvent the Future", about how one can choose, mix, match, customize, design, integrate,... the tools, technologies, worldviews, ways of living, (sub)cultures,... desired. These can include: the same or different cultural norms; the characteristics and what is done by in your particular cultural-geographic place; or from a particular time in history to be mimicked or or pulled from. Nostr would be one of those options or tech stacks in my particular lifestyle design* palette, table of contents, quiver or menu. Anyways, the author explains it way more eloquently than i. If you would like to hear the author interviewed about this book, where he does speak about this conscious choosing and designing of one's life, then check this episode of the Legalize Freedom podcast: https://legalise-freedom.com/shows/john-michael-greer-the-retro-future-looking-to-the-past-to-reinvent-the-future/ * I first heard the term lifestyle design through Jack Spirko host of the Bitcoin Breakout and the Survival Podcast.Hear an interview of him on the Legalize Freedom podcast: : : : : : : : I love how you challenge the "superiority" of the mainstream, centralized, walled gardens of the large social medias and show that they are really infantile attempts and highly manipulated compared to the open, exploring, emergent of Nostr--even though temporaly and as far as network effect, Nostr is in its infancy. The non-liinearity and emergent characteristics of such systems as Nostr and the new flow of information is hugely attractive, mind shattering with its unexpected connections and revelations. Thank you for providing and explaining the various tools and pattern language of this creating, sharing and emergence of media--including to remind us that the hierarchical and logical flow and set up of documents/media can be just as important as the non-linear. In continuing my notes for this episode, i am trying to fathom the final version of, including the extensive index of concepts you have introduced or enumerated. I noticed that index came up in the podcast. I have found it quite empowering over the years to create my own indeces as this presents information in a multifaceted, searchable, organized and powerful way; though i could see it also working in non-linear ways or where unexpecteds arise. : : : : : : : Also, i really like the "Thinking Day" (versus your "News Day") genre or category format of your podcast and that you differentiate in this way. If you have heard of teacher, author and business woman Carol Sanford, she has some interesting things to say about diferentiation and how this links to entrepreneurship. : : : : : : : I appreciate also that you eloquently weave in the Bitcoin and Nostr conversation with permaculture, natural patterns and the like. It is important that both the permaculture ~ regen community learns more from the Bitcoin ~ Nostr community and vice versa although there surely is not line seperating the two. : : : : : : : Maybe you or others might find the Thank God for Nostr Podcast series on McLuhan of interest--including the third and last in the series in which the podcast hosts interview the 3rd and living generation in the McLuhan line continuing to carry the legacy torch--since the conversations cover similar themes as covered in this episode of Bitcoin and..., invite us to think about media as well as offering some tools on how to possibly go about that questioning, exploring & comprehension of media and our technologies in general. You might have hear the quote by Marshall McLuhan?: "The medium is the message." Thank God for Nostr (TGfN) podcast series on McLuhan: TGfN.

See photograph. Also, how do you post your own notes, as opposed to as a comment, or repost, on/of somebody else's 'profile', 'identity'--i am struggling to find words to describe things on this other social, technological, paradigm (Nostr) very foreign to me. Finally, how do you get those posts to go to a certain hashtag, like #nostr, #bitcoin, #permaculture, #coppicing,...? Thank you. Merci. Gracias. Dankeschön. Grazie. https://m.primal.net/LNof.jpg
