1/ I've read tons of permaculture stuff, and I'm quite suspicious of half of it. It's often driven ideologically, not pragmatically, and the books usually don't balance...in very specific ways, and lots of costs (both material and labor) are glossed over e.g. in this article >https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1329167235542290433 …

12/ Permaculture folks often have decent insights, but they ignore trade offs. "Soil mycology is good, tilth is important" My dude, farmers have known this for thousands of years. "Therefore you shouldn't till" but then seeds don't contact soil ?https://twitter.com/teodesian/status/1329180206331031553 …

13/ "ok, yes, so what I mean when I say 'no till' is till just a little bit, so that seeds can contact the soil" ah...so it's like "defund the police doesn't actually MEAN defund the police?" <angry silence>

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Saladin's techniques are reported to produce significantly-higher yields than more conventional methods. See also Allen Savory's use of similar techniques to revive deserts.
