Water, food, and shelter can be, if even as nothing else, at least a hedge against growth, which now shatters paradigms faster than we can adapt to them. If your community can access, or God-Willing even self-sustain, [[Locally Real Food]], you can build health, wealth, and opportunity greater than money can provide. The exponential curve of technological progress threatens to unseat reality. We cannot step away. And we cannot expect perpetual competence. For, we are mortal. And if some day we are no longer, we will still be finite in order to be at all. As if we are not, then these concerns have already been surpassed. But today, we are here. --- [[water, food, shelter, health, wealth, and opportunity]]
