Thursday, August 18, 2011. Zombies, Bureaucrats, Democracy, and Effective Action. A few things have happened over the past week. First: A friend came down from a 30 day treesit in West Virginia to stop a surface coal mine at Coal River Mountain. After reviewing the comments, TDEC actually weakened the proposed rules.

Zen Agnostic: April 2012
http://zenagnostic.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 21, 2012. Came across this interesting post today about sick systems. It looks at relationships as well as organizations and employment. I’ve probably perpetuated some of these behaviors in the past, as well as been victim of some. And I’ve definitely worked at some businesses that displayed these characteristics. This reminds me of the 4 quadrants time management system. Wherein you divide up your tasks into 4 different categories:. IV Not Urgent/Not Important. For those who would like t...

Zen Agnostic: Changing/Resisting/Dismantling
http://zenagnostic.blogspot.com/2012/07/i-have-been-working-on-this-diagram-for.html
Wednesday, July 4, 2012. I have been working on this diagram for a few months now. It is certainly not complete or perfect - but here it is. Recently I attended a presentation by the group Deep Green Resistance. The concept of Land Based Resistance Oriented Communities was mentioned by the group and really appeals to me. A quick google of the term doesn't bring me any results so I do not have a quick way to explain what this concept means to me or to DGR. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Venus Pro...

Zen Agnostic: April 2011
http://zenagnostic.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 10, 2011. Because I haven't posted in a while. I've been around, doing what I do, just not writing about it on here. Most of my "hey cool look at this link" posting goes on facebook. I only generally post here when I have something longer to say and it won't fit in at Hubpages. But I've been working. Most of my extra time is now taken up by volunteer work for a local environmental nonprofit. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Urban Sustainability and Survival. Simple template&#...

Tuesday, June 7, 2011. Deepak Chopra on the End of the World. Thinking About the End. Links to this post. Monday, June 6, 2011. Apocalypse and why Disasters are not Natural.

They are always made possible by a series of often-invisible societal choices that implicate more than just those being drowned or buried in rubble. This is why we call them social disasters.

Zen Agnostic: The Venus Project (?)
http://zenagnostic.blogspot.com/2012/07/venus-project.html
Saturday, July 14, 2012. The Venus Project (? Earth has more than enough resources to meet the needs of all people - but only if managed intelligently. Jacques Fresco envisions a solution that he calls a "Resource Based Economy." It is a socioeconomic system in which all goods are available to everyone, without the use of money, barter, credit, debt, or servitude of any kind. This quote is from the video below, created by the Venus Project. At the Deep Green Resistance roadshow presentation last month.
