-judge of fools-
The friends and foes I've made in life,
the lessons they have taught.
Relections of my other selves,
from times I have forgot.
Don't rush to judge these fools to quick,
if mind makes all I see.
The thoughts I think create these folks,
and all of them are me.
Reflections. Typo.
>What about permaculture draws you to it? My love of plants would love to hear from you
I think what I like about permaculture is that it seems to counter entropy, at least for a while.
As soon as I build a "thing" it immediatly starts the inevitable process of becoming garbage. When i plant a tree, or especially when I reshape the land to a form that makes the most of rain and runnoff, I can stand back and watch it getting better year after year with minimal further labor. I simply love the idea of doing things that will outlive me. I have come to the idea that earth was never supposed to be this unpleasant, but was actually an Eden planet. I remember reading various books where the location of the"real Eden" might be might be. I cannot explain how I came to this, and can't sauce it at all, but I find myself drawn into this idea that ot was supposed to be the whole place. being steward of even the smallest piece of Eden is a noble purpose, for there is nothing we need that restored Eden could not provide. I remember watching that show heroes, and at the carnival there was a person who could irrigate the desert and make it lush with but a touch. In that show, that was my favorite power. My two favorite books on the subject are Sepp Holzer's Permaculture, and the Holistic Orchard by Michael Phillips.
I used to be veeerrry into salt water fish tanks, the challenge of making that artificial environment replicate as close as possible the natural cycle. As I said somewhere, I really like ideas that are scalable, In the yard, I can be a fish who builds his own tank, how cool is that?
>Would Luke have become who he was if his father weren't Darth Vader?Just think about how much different his path might have been. Even so, consider how the dark side affected his choices with his second last apprentice.
Boy I wish I had seen that one, last I saw of luke, he was found on the mountain by Rae so I have no context. The question seems to me to be is Jedi actually geneticly passed? Padimay was no Jedi to my knowledge. But did Luke have any idea what he was efore he was trained? In that regard Rae seems like she will be even stronger, because she is just a natural.
To me, I don't care to concern myself with stuff like spells and dark majic. I honestly would be surprised if this is even what occurs in these places. It may just be a scare tactic to keep certain people afraid and dismissive. It seems more likely that it is just high science, and in some respect I think it may not even be all mathy, but more shape and pattern based. The mandlebrot set stuff amazes me, and only serves to further my belief that functional pattern recognition might be an extream shortcut for use in building phisical things. Watched a video or two that showed how the complicated formulas resulted in some very consistent shapes. I forget (or more honestly never knew) the names for these shapes, but the one that looked like a squished heart I remember had a value of 1, the clover looking thing had a value of two ect.
Much like economics is intentionally complex to hide the fact it really isn't from common folk, I don't personally believe all that calculus I had to learn is essential to sound design, I believe the designs that really matter already exist nature, there is no majic needed.
I am not a psychic, but I can make damn good guesses because I recognise patterns. I read Farrell's book the thrice great hermetica and the Janus age where he really delved into hermetcs as the asis fr design theory. He used Shakespeare's globe theator as example of incorporating elements of the larger scale into the smaller scale so all would be in harmony.
That same book also used the example of musical composition by the numbers. Showing how some of the most pleasing music was constructed by taking an origional phrase,and manipulating it systematically. Inversions, tempo changes, ect all based on one origional phrasing. That clicked for me, even though I cannot read music, I could see the pattern he was discussing despite not knowing the tune. It got me into cpe bach, and more importantly helped explain why it is I like certain bands so much. Turns out ALL of my favorite stuff has tells that it was composed with awareness of these principles, whether conciosly or by devine muse.
Thank you friend for the effort, but I still am trying to right click on an Android for cut and paste lol I am so not that guy.
It isn't just you. I have the same feeling, hence my decision to just jump into the mix.
