Taleb is a very interesting thinker.

The link might still be good for a few days, on the free online webinar. https://ymarsakar.wordpress.com/2016/10/22/preparation-summit-for-survivalists-self-defense-civilians-and-assorted-others/<br /><br />But even if it goes offline later, Rick Austin's book on Amazon is still there. His concepts feel very flexible and creative, even genius, in terms of pulling humanity ahead. GM crops and seeds have done similar work in feeding humanity, but it may not be necessary to modify the DNA of these crops to be resistant to pesticides or poisons or insects or weather changes, if it is our farming methods which are outdated. <br /><br />It is very similar to the Aquaponics idea I've heard before, where fish fertilize plants grown in a column, without the need for water or maintenance. <br /><br />For anyone with any kind of property that they can use to grow a garden of food or small trees, those two ideas are something they might wish to look into from a defensive/survivalist perspective. Self reliance and independence from the government will do far more to fight the evil of DC and the Leftist alliance, than a million elections will or have done.<br /><br />Ymar Sakarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-69419033753735821152016-10-23T15:27:08.905-04:002016-10-23T15:27:08.905-04:00I am reading Taleb's Antifragile, which sings ...I am reading Taleb's <i>Antifragile</i>, which sings the praises of trial-and-error and empiricism over theory and narrative. This sounds like a good example. <i>After</i> it has been shown to keep people healthy we can see some reasons why. <br /><br />BTW, I am finding the book stunningly good - or rather, the concepts in it stunningly good, the book so-so - and will be writing about it soon. I wish the book had existed when I was 18. Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.com
