War and Oneness

A Unified Perspective of the War in Ukraine — 04.06.2022 ​ ​The war in Ukraine has been reminding us all of how small this planet we share is. Modern warfare is not localized.

Free Speech: The Cowboy and His Cow

Monday, April 1st, 1985. Missoula, Montana. Edward Abbey approaches the podium and gives the following address. — “Cattle are a worldwide curse.

Cryptocurrency, Environmentalism, and the Redistribution of Wealth

Placing a bet on crypto to aid the preservation and rehabilitation of our Earth — Cryptocurrency is not a topic that I thought I’d be writing about.
