It teaches them how to adapt. In the late 60s, people took to the streets for real reasons. Civil rights.... My point though is that "self reliance" isn't what it claims, it's a misguided bias. Typically, someone who considers him or herself "self reliant" can only claim it out of the ignorance or refusal to admit that s/he's taking from others.... - kmitcham...
I am probably wrong but three generations sound simple until I realized three generations is not long enough to fix all the contributing factors such as water supply, environmental issues, clean and whole foods.... I LOVE and appreciate you starting this conversation! I basically disagree with all the points :) But again I love and appreciate you, and also enjoy having spirited discussions with you.... Austin, TX, USA has the same issue with low housing supply and high demand, so for a while I thought it was a local issue.

Like the moments of feeling of the wind and/or the sun where it fills me with so much joy, is everyone feeling this?... Memes: My wonder is out there: Strange thought experiments to achieve wholeness
(Note: I wrote this with the help of chatgpt so it’s wooden in many places. I wanted it to be a strange combination of dry and wet.) What’s a Meme: A meme is a cultural unit of meaning, such as an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a... metatation: i notice a possible bias away from seeing what works in you sherajoy, but do i share it?
