notes/quotes from 7 min video clip:

the value of land reduced to .. how much money would an outsider pay me to buy the land and construct the house..

that destruction of land itself ‘cleaning’

sevende – land for sale.. signs everywhere in columbia (and all over world)

3 min – the poverty mindset: reductionism of value/imagination/relationship.. where only way of relating to the land.. is what can i get that is of econ value.. translation – money.. from this land..t so no intimacy/relation/sacred.. so very easy to sell land if you don’t value it

same with people.. ie: 10-day-care-center\ness

so challenge (all over world) is not – how would i gather together people to do watershed restoration and re forestation .. we could totally .. not hard to imagine the value of land.. but when we don’t value it what happens is sevende.. sevende.. sevende

4 min – so when look at problem of how to regen landscape.. one of the mythologies we have to deal with.. is that outsiders with wealth are coming in and buying up land and displacing locals.. that is completely untrue.. truth is.. thru primary mechs of colonization .. ed and marketing.. people have come to believe that they are no more than consumers and that the only thing that’s valuable is money.. t

deeper root of problem

what world needs most is the energy of 8b alive people

humanity needs a leap.. to get back/to simultaneous spontaneity .. simultaneous fittingness.. everyone in sync..

legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do

5 min – so what’s actually happening is local people have come to learn that they don’t have anything of value and that they are in poverty .. impoverished.. and so they need money.. and in their desperation.. in their mindset of scarcity.. and in their diminished ability to relate to their environments.. they sell their land..t

and themselves

gare enslavement law et al

and when sell land.. get little pool of money.. go off to city.. spend that money.. then they are really desperate.. whereas if they were on this land and knew how to regen.. and understood inherit value of all of the rest of life.. they never would have imagined of selling land in first place..

and again.. to people.. ie: thurman interconnectedness law et al

6 min – would you sell mother.. daughter.. land is profoundly like mother/daughter.. have to have strong clear bond with all that gives us life..

so reason.. outsiders mindset has already infiltrated local people to believe that land has no value aside from monetary worth..

7 min – this poverty mindset is one of root cause of landscape destruction all over world.. and displacement of local people happened in kindergarten and first grade..t way before anyone signed over a deed to transfer land to someone w money from city

need global detox leap.. re\set

ie: imagine if we listened to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & used that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)

need to try the unconditional part of left to own devices ness..

there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. the unconditional part of left-to-own-devices ness.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it

ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
