The above does not really reflect my views but it’s mostly accepted as truth. It didn’t used to be. I’ll explain.
We’re the only species of animal that has to pay to live. This is insanity. No person should be without food, clothing and shelter. Nor should anyone have to pay someone else to provide all the things that allow life to exist.
It seems that humans are born tyrants or maybe we’ve simply changed over time.
Were we always this way? I think not. At some certain point in time everything on earth changed. There have always been food forests especially in the Tropics. What changed was the way commercial foods were grown and more or less took over from the food forests as a way to provide food for all, not to mention making people pay high prices in order to stay alive.
I suppose propaganda started about farmers taught a different way to plant than a forest grabbed up by big companies that bought from the non-food forest growers to make it happen that everyone started to think that is all there was except in the long past ancient times. Partly true. We’re coming back to it in the present though.
It happened due to the industrial era and the clock punch work force beginning to be normalized. It happened rapidly because industry was a rapid pace idea and structure. This is when the analog clocks were added to all schools, homes and factories. There were also school bells, alarm clocks, and daylight savings time added to make the industries grow well.
Food forests exist but not at scale. They’re shrunken as the least means to feed ourselves. It shouldn’t be this way. We should all be able to feed ourselves! You don’t have to be a farmer to do this.
