people need to be comforted before they need to be energized

open message to a liberal vegan friend: "i had this thought this afternoon: i was reflecting on my experience with cities and travel and car camping, and my time working in San Francisco. one thing I noticed about the homeless crisis is that few or no homeless deranged (largely because of drugs, sadly) people would be up in the hills. they'd always be near the main central avenues like Market St or Mission St especially by the subway stations , i.e. where it was easy to come in contact with passersby with money seemingly unrelatedly but in my new view maybe actually similar, places with great weather like San Francisco and L.A. inspire a lot of virtuous people to move there for their own self-care and for all the opportunities. but these places also attract vultures and hedonists and debased selfish actors who are just exploitive of the sunlight i've been reflecting a lot on how cool it is that you've elected to stay close near where you grew up in Oklahoma and near your family. it obviously comes with major trade offs and sacrifices but it just shows so much love in your heart. I was thinking about how there so many good-spirited vegans in the Pacific Northwest, where Oregon and Washington are even more liberal than California at the virtuous end of the bell curve. I was just connecting all these ideas and imagining the likely possibilities that there are lots of young people like us who grew up there, who maybe possibly also came from imperfect family environments, and could be living in paradise weather places like Hawaii or Oakland or L.A. But it's more important to stay close to family and it doesn't matter if it rains like cold hell most of the year. The love in the air and the oxygen from the trees and the flow of the ocean all make up for it. Then maybe this love field starts to have an affect on the asleep people in these states. Suddenly you have fathers and police chiefs who are caring more. I can't help but think about the Twilight movie/book series and how benefic the father figures are portrayed for their divine masculinity maybe rain and cold and fog makes us all tough and keeps evil spirits away"

-- “not ecology as we know it; not education as we know it; not economics as we know it; not religion as we know it — none of these things is currently up to the task at hand. we need to go deeper. just as Adrienne Rich and Meister Eckhart tell us, diving deep and also surfacing. moving inward and outward, but always deeply. deep where the joy resides (via positiva); where the darkness, pain, and grief cry to us (via negativa); where creativity is unearthed (via creativa); where the passion for justice and compassion return again (via transformativa).” “we need ecological mystic-warriors, ecumenical mystic-warriors, educational mystic-warriors, and economic mystic-warriors. there is where Eckhart is leading us. down and deep and dirty, in the sense that we are on new terrain, that there will be trial and error, but it is better to be in the dark than overly confident in a diminishing and damaging light. Eckhart leads us to a new and deeper marriage of divine feminine and sacred masculine. we can no longer put off the need to balance our masculine and feminine natures — personally, collectively, and in all of our institutions. these are common values we can all hold dear and act from. Eckhart takes us there.” -- -- from "meister eckhart: a mystic-warrior for our times" by matthew fox ---- ---- ---- ---- https://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=F94424F9BE42AF68EAF1303BD7B6E375

-- "what all of us want is to be set free. the man who sinks his pickaxe into the ground wants that stroke to mean something. the convict's stroke is not the same as the prospector's, for the obvious reason that the prospector's stroke has meaning and the convict's stroke has none. it would be a mistake to think that the prison exists at the point where the convict's stroke is dealt. prison is not a mere physical horror. it is using a pickaxe to no purpose that makes a prison; the horror resides in the failure to enlist all those who swing the pick in the community of mankind." -- -- from -- wind, sand and stars -- by antoine de saint-exupéry ---- ---- ---- ----

my dad has always talked with me about getting involved with the fight to reverse climate change. besides cars and planes, the three most polluting / inefficient industries on earth are animal abuse, fast fashion, and bitcoin btc proof of work. if my innovations and thinking, standing on the shoulders of giants, enables global micropayments in third-world countries on a eco-conscious chain that also supports organic plant farmers for food and fashion with social media capabilities to disrupt the advertising industry and allow honest businesses to market themselves and thrive on an open network, inspiring people to change for the better, it would be the biggest human-coordinated carbon-negating movement in modern recorded history to correct our own mistakes
