Julian Rose: When faced with the possible prospect of sudden global catastrophic change, how to embrace the paradox of opposing needs, for inner repose and outer action?

I’ve run a number of “peak oil, peak everything” posts that speak about the coming transition from non-renewable resource use on this finite planet as leading either to a “hard” or a “soft” landing. Regarding a hard landing, organic farmer and activist Julian Rose pinpoints a conundrum that I wrestle with in my own life, […]

Keith Farnish on Industrial Civilization: “How can something so connected be so disconnected?”

I no longer remember how I landed on this “underminers” website, but I sure do plan on reading this book. “Undermining is what we’re all going to have to take a part in, if we are once again to take control of our own destiny. . . if you want to take a house down, […]
