Sustainability- CADS 2003

Wolfson Children’s Hospital recently launched a program aimed at reducing the number of pediatric patients undergoing sedation for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnostic scans.

It’s amazing to me that food grows literally everywhere, but we’ve become so out of touch with nature as a society that we’ve forgotten much of this information.

Purslane and wild amaranth growing between the parking lot and the sidewalk. Both have leaves that can be simply picked and eaten raw (young leaves are best), and amaranth seeds can be used as a grain.

I imagine when I finally get land to grow fruits and vegetables, the weeds will only get pulled because they’re going on the dinner table.

Remove as far as possible all opportunities for meaningful self-expression and service,. Instead , coerce people into dead-end labor just to pay the bills and service debts. Seduce others into living off such labor of others.

Cut people off from nature and from place. At most, let nature be a spectacle or venue for recreation, but remove any real intimacy with the land. Source food and medicine from thousands of miles away.

Move life - especially children’s lives - indoors. Let as many sounds as possible be manufactured sounds, and as many sights be virtual sights.

Destroy community bonds by casting people into a society of strangers, in which you don’t rely on and needn’t even know the people living around you.

Create constant survival anxiety by making survival depend on money, and then making money artificially scarce. Administer a money system in which there is always more debt than there is money.

Divide the world up into property, and confine people to spaces that they own or pay to occupy.

Replace the infinite variety of the natural and artisanal world, where every object is unique, with the sameness of commodity goods.

Reduce the intimate realm of social interaction to the nuclear family an put that family in a box. Destroy the tribe, the village, the clan and the extended family as a functioning social unit.

Make children stay indoors in age-segregated classrooms in a competitive environment where they are conditioned to perform tasks that they don’t really care about or want to do, for the sake of external rewards.

Destroy the local stories and relationships that build identity, and replace them with celebrity news, sports team identification, brand identification and world views imposed by authority.

Delegitimize or illegalize folk knowledge of how to heal and care for one another, and replace it with the paradigm of the “patient” dependent upon medical authorities for health.
