@johnkellden @cognazor @giorgiop_ @jim_rutt @cognitivepolicy @owocki @jgreenhall @HFreinacht @fer_ananda @artbrock @gregory_landua @solarpunk_girl So agree with you, Joe, John, Jason. We can't learn reinhabitory foodsheds without co-evolutionarily working them. Very curious how we're best going to educate millions to what's Real. Pedagogical transformation, for sure.

Peter Maurin, the founder of the Catholic Worker Movement, used to dwell lovingly on the thought of what he called an agronomic university, where the scholars could become workers, and workers scholars; where a philosophy of work would be restored to people; where they would regain a sacramental attitude toward life, property, and people in relation to them. For a time we could not understand what he was talking about.

Irish Scholars By Peter Maurin When the Irish scholars decided to lay the foundations of medieval Europe, they established: Centers of Thought in all the cities of Europe as far as Constantinople, where people could look for thought so they could have light. Houses of Hospitality where Christian charity was exemplified. Agricultural Centers where they combined (a) Cult- that is to say Liturgy (b) with Culture— that is to say Literature (c) with Cultivatiion- that is to say Agriculture.
