once you accept that you are part of a giant time-binding hyperorganism called "society" or whatever, you can align yourself with the processes around you. instead of living dependent on yet hostile to the hive, convincing yourself that it's Chaotic Good because Society is Evil
example: i didn't want to go into Tech in the late oughts because i liked eating mushrooms too much. and i thought Silicon Valley would be all squares, and that all corporations would drug test you like Burger King does but time has proven that narrative wrong

this is a good question https://twitter.com/VividVoid_/status/1403398398258995205?s=20 …
we didn't have enough water power for this. it took over a mile of pipe run downhill to get enough pressure for the Pelton wheel and we still couldn't run power tools
oh, and the water started to dry up in 2013

some guys did get an Alaskan mill and start making boards. (that's basically a frame that you put on the log to make your chainsaw go in right angles). two or three of them would run it all day and make like... ten boards? fifteen? idk cuz they were my enemies and i didn't help
work is HARD WORK. doing things yourself, the long way, is a pain in the ass. i think it is GOOD to do it, and i would like it if there were a program you could go instead of college where you just go do hard work and live a low-energy life so you appreciate the GOD DAMN CITY
i live in the city now because it's like a ten minute walk to the food store where somebody has already made food supplies that i can literally buy with money i worked for at something i'm good at and enjoy. people do cities for a reason. LARPers know this but don't admit
but! 7) modern agriculture is pretty fucked up, as are cities. we should make them all ecological. and we should rewild the suburbs because nothing hurts like the suburbs, once you've been in the wilderness a while

correcting this, I was misremembering "5 to 10 acres per family". which is maybe four people? I don't know. I made all these calculations in like 2015, based on pessimistic view where I was trying to find reasons to leave. That's my biashttps://twitter.com/deepfates/status/1403393813335400449?s=19 …

i’ve heard a figure as low as 1 acre per person with a draft animal (horse?) and 1/2 acre for a hardscrabble existence without horses, on an island off scotland with population stats

Areal bioproductivity (primary producers) is the real limit. In a decade, switching to efficient phytoplankton cultivation (>40g dry weight/d.m^2) & cellularAg would let us rewild so much agricultural land… 10Gt biomass dw/yr could likely more than feed everyone; 1/https://twitter.com/radsci/status/1365172452725198849 …
Ely Rabani added,
That will produce 100Gt per year using <2% ocean area.
