Thanks, Bill,
Given that much of the Global South is still living in cultures that exemplify a settle, agriculture-based form of civilization which experiences reality as relational, it may well be that they are the ones who will develop the next form of civilization. This would be deliciously ironic, since we still see them as “underdeveloped” and see ourselves as in charge as the edge of history.

I agree, Ashley. Though I think of it as subsistence agriculture--folks who grow just enough food to feed themselves, with perhaps a little surplus to sell for things tht can only be bought in the cash economy.
For me the real value of the "local food movement" is that it MIGHT move some few of us closer to thinking about where our food comes from.
The ONLY reason we--all of us--are sitting here talking about these world transforming ideas is because the ag revolution freed us (and pour ancestors) from subsistence farming.
Of COURSE we would all be better off if we thought about where our food came from. And, unquestionably, eating less meat would help us ALL.
All these fashion-trends we sneer at, all come frpom some small insight for how we OUGHT to think about our world.
They are NOT solutions. They are life-style changes that it
would help us to consider.

Dear Ashley,
I would like to transfer this discussion to the “other salon”. Far too many emails!!!! I cannot reach Robert at this moment. Maybe you know how to do it before sending another email.
Here is the instruction. Please do it ASAP. Thank you!
In order to balance these competing objectives – free flowing exchange of ideas and arguments among those who want to pursue them; and preventing an overload of email among the rest, we are creating an additional “salon” for these longer conversations.
For now we are calling it the SCORAI Community which can be accessed at https://community.scorai.net.
Once you sign up for an account there, you are able to participate in a discussion which we have transferred from the listserv.
All transferred discussions can be accessed on the main homepage and are preserved as a public archive.
One of us on the Board will curate the conversations and use our best judgment as to when to invite the participants to continue their exchanges in the second salon, open to all.
