ALTERNATIVES

            My mentor-friend in Germany and I have been corresponding on issues regarding our overall state of affairs and future gatherings in Europe post-covid.

He suggested we could put together a conference as an alternative to the billionaire's club that gets together in Davos, Switzerland.  I called it the Peasant Authentic Stewardship Innovators summit.

             Here is a list he and I put together to highlight the alternatives to mainline thinking.  If ever a time existed to leverage openness to alternatives, this is it.  On the left you'll see an alternative view; on the right you'll see the normal narrative.

 Immunity vs. pharmaceuticals

Habitat vs. vaccines

Heritage vs. GMOs

Self-reliance vs. government agency

Autonomy vs. dependency

Gardens vs. globalism

Personal vs. corporate

Saving vs. spending

Soil development vs. chemical fertilization

Diversity vs. mono-species

Perennials vs. annuals

Livestock vs. fake meat

Animal affirmation vs. animal adulteration

Wealthy farmers vs. colonialism farmers

Decentralization vs. centralization

Human scale vs. global scale

Localization vs. globalization

Biomass vs. tillage

Hydration vs. water depletion

Price vs. value

Competition vs. cooperation

Brain vs. heart

Abundance vs. scarcity

Separation vs. oneness
