Firstly I want to let you know I love your writing, your light touch for such a heavy situation is a tonic.

I find, living in Scotland, I have started growing food, spending time in nature and veneration the old Gods. There are others like me who's resistance- psychically, spiritually and physically has been to run towards nature. Somewhat counter-intuitively I feel better and more whole than at any time in my life.

Go figure.

Yes, nicely elucidated. I'd conceived of the famous product as the first test run of the new global stakeholder capitalism system. Government reduced to a role of bullying the population into a "need"; the attack on logic, science, our bodies and all things natural as a new mode of imperialism and a new mode of war. Derrick Jensen describes agriculture as the original scorched earth policy and that's what they're attempting here. Clear out the natural and roll in a constant stream of artificial inputs. As an indicator of what's to come it's already clear this leads towards a catastrophe on an unimaginable scale.
