I'm an anti-imperialist, environmental activist and blue ocean sailor, who is passionate about the earth and all it's inhabitants without favour. Brace for imminent impact as we bare witness to the non-linear unraveling of the biosphere and habitability disappearing for most if not all complex life on the only habitable planet we know of. To quote President Niinistö in North Russia: ‘If We Lose the Arctic, We Lose the World’. Folks we have lost the Arctic.

Look forward to listening to this one.
Hope your doing well mate,
Cheers,
Erik

A village is not the cultivation of differences, which is simply the dance of individuality. When a person dies in Igala country in Central Nigeria, the village mourns loudly, and sings, and dances, and feasts for several days, two or three. If a village is not commonality, I don’t know what is. Kevin, the few people on your island become a tribe, when you propagate, if you have time. It’s not complicated.
