Endless growth on a finite planet is probably the stupidest idea anyone has ever had 🙄
Why can’t people / companies just stay in their lane, stay small, and give back when they are successful instead of trying ti take over the whole dang world?!
Support local, wherever you are🤙

This is something that I think about a lot. Talking to my peers that are planning for their retirement 35 years down the road, like you really think thats how things work out now? You are going to be lucky if your job exists in 5 years, let alone your social security in 35.
It is so *weird* living in a new reality that most people can't even see. Million of people think they're still living in a world that no longer exists. Wildly disconcerting times.

Drove by a McDonalds earlier and got a craving for a McFlurry and fries…but then remembered that the closest the US has ever come to a class consciousness uprising was spoiled by a McDonalds employee who ratted on Luigi, ironically, for the reward money that they weren’t even paid.
I kept driving.

"Authenticity takes commitment, it takes consistency, and it takes real action. It can’t be created in a pr stunt, or calculated move. It happens naturally, when the mind just flows. Authenticity doesn’t happen in a box."

"A whisper in the night, that booms deeply in your ears. You feel it tingle inside of you. That is real, that is real. No corporation can distill his essence and sell it to you, that shit would fall flat in a second. We crave the real, and know instinctively when it isn’t."

Had a long conversation yesterday about taking every opportunity to reduce negativity. There is too much darkness in this world, to be letting it into our most inner place. Yeah shit is fucked, but we gotta hold on or what is the point?

Reading Tom Robbins was like discovering a note scrawled in the margins of reality: “The world is absurd and there’s no better reason to love it.” He didn’t write sentences; he set them loose in a carnival funhouse and let them find their own way out.

Habitat formation for megafauna in the Coast Redwoods is pretty wild, and theres so much of it! Unfortunately, there's not much demand...because we've killed most of the megafauna 🫤

I don't know what the solution is, but I am trying to get more people talking. I do know this, we need more creating, more connecting, more hands in the dirt, more empathy
