Dwindling Food Variety →
“As we’ve come to depend on a handful of commercial varieties of fruits and vegetables, thousands of heirloom varieties have disappeared. It’s hard to know exactly how many have been lost over the past century, but a study conducted in 1983 by the Rural Advancement Foundation International gave a clue to the scope of the problem. It compared USDA listings of seed varieties...

Pay attention because it's about to get nasty
So TeaMp0isoN is on a mission to expose LulzSec. Let me tell you a little bit about what’s been happening, what it all means and how it’s going to affect us all. All this recent talk about hackers and “cyber-terrorists” in the mainstream press is really all about softening up the population to eventually accept the eradication of net neutrality. The upper echelons are...

First-world denizens are scared to riot for shit that actually matters, like clueless or corrupt partisans having seats in congress passing sketchy bills (while everyone is being distracted by escapist entertainment and gossip-dominated news programs), but are quick to dismantle their own residence over a national past-time.

bitterstorms:
Every now and then, in moments of uncommon clarity, there seems to me to be something patently ridiculous about my life. The things we accept as ordinary parts of our daily lives have this air of… strangeness about them that I lack the ability to interpret fully. I am beginning to believe, as a…

Re: Anarchists...
In response to captainjackjohn’s latest post:
The only way an ideal law enforcement agency can exist is if the personnel were artificially intelligent incorruptible cyborgs. As long as humans are manning the positions, the system will eventually falter. Fear and paranoia are prevalent because of caste systems and socio-economic disparities that give way to desperate and/or greedy behavior...

Honest question, what do you see in anarchism? I’m unable to find myself in support of a social system that allows criminals the freedom to do as they please.
There would be no criminals because there would be no laws.
What we name them irrelevant. If people are free to rape and murder without there being a law to stop them, whether or not...

Mimosa hostilis root bark has recently been banned...
Gee, I wonder why they would do such a thing. Dimethyltryptamine isn’t even a profitable racket, yet they’re cracking down on its production. Obviously, cheddar isn’t the motive. I guess these hidden cabals really don’t want too many people liberating their minds. They horde not only wealth, but also knowledge. Almost every substance that shamans used to break through the...
