TSP Rewind – Seeing Permaculture in a Different Light – Epi-287 Mar 05, 2025

Show notes

Most people come to permaculture because of a desire to produce their own food and it is to be fair a huge part of the discipline. In fact people often say that permaculture is a system of “permanent agriculture”. This is understandable as even the founders have on occasion said such things or at least things you can interpret this way. The key though is to understand that when David Holmgren and Bill Mollison created this system, it didn’t exist. While obvious it is the kind of thing we tend to gloss over. When they began and wrote Permaculture One it did indeed focus almost exclusively … Continue reading →

TSP Rewind – The Real Green Revolution Starts in the Backyard – Epi-286 Mar 03, 2025

Show notes

The world is in desperate need of a true “green revolution” but it won’t and can’t come from government. We won’t get it done by mandating anything or taxing the air you exhale. All of these state level actions consist of pipe dreams and lies. Worse though is they are an absolute excuse by those who claim to care the most for individual inaction. Just another version of “tax the rich”. Today we look at what a true “green society” might look like if everyone did just a little bit to see to their own needs in their own back … Continue reading →

Bitcoin is Money – Episode-3633 Feb 25, 2025

Show notes

Bitcoin arguments get weird fast. Proponents say never spend it, but imagine saying, “Never spend your money.” Others insist you must spend it to help it gain acceptance—would you ever say, “You have to spend YOUR MONEY to make it legitimate?” Meanwhile, critics call it volatile while ignoring that the dollar has lost 99% of its value. The confusion vanishes when you strip away the hype and just call Bitcoin what it is: money. In this episode, I break down the nonsense from both sides, showing how many so-called debates fall apart the moment you apply the same logic to … Continue reading →
