Great quote from a great thinker! Taking control of our shelter, water, and food needs is not only great for our local resilience but also subversive to the political and economic status quo! Do it for reason #1is enough to motivate me, but maybe also saving the world if enough people follow is a great secondary selling point!

Absolutely agree—local resilience *is* subversive, especially as climate stress exposes systemic fragility. Reminds me of a piece on how Great Powers scramble for influence in the Sahel as food/water crises escalate. It’s all connected. https://theboard.world/articles/great-power-competition-...

I will say that my mind is still blown by the Amish using off grid solar for things like lighting, etc. I have heard people around these parts talk about living the "modern Amish" lifestyle as a way to convey they want the slow life but are willing to use tech that helps achieve that goal.

I have not heard that, interesting. So they are not opposed to tech, but being subject to the Grid, or the Machinem

It's not just corporate algorithms amplifying outrage, polarization, and echo chambers. It's us, too.

Time to put in the work to curate my feed by muting the pedants! Have fun arguing in the wind.

Done both, as a huge consumer more then a conisour we tend to use pre ground,, but we have grinders if needed.

One could argue a sovereign life doesn't need technologies. The Amish have the non-tech sovereign life figured out. They don't use technologies.

Interesting take! The definition of technology doesn't just cover electricity and microchips, so I'm not entirely convinced. I also just learned that some Amish are okay with off grid solar: https://anabaptistworld.org/amish-embrace-solar-power/

5/Shelter & Physical Infrastructure.
Out here in Cochise County, our Owner-Builder Opt-Out allows us to step outside standard cookie-cutter codes and build creatively. A growing natural building community has taken root but there are others seeking freedom to build however they want too! Sovereignty over the physical means of shelter.
