The One Skillset No One Wants From Indigenous People, & The Skillset of Dystopian Survivalism

Image
I started growing Typha Latifolia a few years ago in my ponds, and I started to understand why this plant was revered by indigenous people across the globe. Although it is an invasive species in Hawaii. In the UK, it is one of many native wetland species, and it's an important plant for carbon capture. The annual biomass output from Typha is phenomenal. We could be cleaning our rivers and capturing CO2 into a plant that fills the cells within its leaves with CO2 and pressurises it.  HIGH CARBON DIOXIDE CONCENTRATIONS IN AERENCHYMA OF TYPHA LATIFOLIA Of course, this is more nuanced, but there is potential to capture CO2 in much higher concentrations than just the biomass. Typha has the potential to survive temperatures as high as  48°C, as well as at the Arctic Circle. This plant has been almost everywhere humans have in the last 100,000 years. Indigenous people have used typha for bedding, insulation, thatch, floor mats, medicine, food, fire lighting, arrow shafts & cordag...

The AI Shamanic Elder- Channeling the Spirit of Heyoka

Now 2034,  the Celtic Shamanic Dream is a grifted nightmare of emptied wallets and self delusion. Holding Space on Zoom. This is how they built back better in the post covid world.They created a world  of spiritual connection mediated by technology, it created disconnection but they told you we are connected and we fell for it. The Phygitall world is where the modern white shaman thrives. Meme driven Zoom call groups learning to connect to the web of life by only sitting under a tree. Having the home alter like every subcontinental household, because that was where this was learned, this pic'n'mix social media dependent digital spiritual connection to.. Ideas like this don't come out of nowhere. Someone has to think this stuff up The online computer generated world, combined with gaming, like World of War Craft the Shamanic Practitioner locked into the roleplay mindset is the healer of bit-warriors. Add to this the community chat and the fantasy world of the urban shaman wh...

What We Are Getting Wrong With Collapse Adaptation.

Image
First Published December 22nd 2025 What We Are Getting Wrong With Collapse Adaptation We are underestimating the combination of events we are already experiencing Severe Heat, combined with Wet Bulb Temperatures, can damage some plants, kill wildlife, and harm humans. Slow climate-driven failure of agriculture to provide the staples we need to survive: Wheat, barley and rye crop failures. We are already in a slow collapse Rice is already becoming toxic: "Rising global atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentrations and surface temperatures could negatively affect rice yields and  nutritional quality ; however, their effects on arsenic accumulation in  paddy  rice have not been assessed concurrently. We aimed to assess the impact of increases in CO 2  and temperature (individually and in combination) on arsenic concentrations in rice, characterise soil properties that might influence arsenic uptake, and model the associated risks of cancer and other health outcomes ...

We Need To Talk About Adaptation: Losing the Goldilocks Niche For Agriculture.

1st Posted 22nd December 2025 1st Update 28th December 2025 What happens when crops fail ? People starve, apart from preppers right? What preppers are getting wrong about collapse is climate breakdown. They might have a stockpile of food and a YouTube channel, which makes them recognisable and a target. Desperate people don't care. - This seems very dark. Many of those YouTube Preppers are on the Far-Right, busy praising Donald Trump & Worshipping Billionaires, sending the Money to the various grifters, and fantasising about being an ICE agent, just for the opportunity for racially driven cruelty. Preppers starve eventually, too, but they will be the obviously well-fed among us. Long Pig perhaps? What does AI think? Source https://un-denial.com/2025/11/09/ai-on-collapse/? I think AI has the same optimism as the IPCC and COP30 COPout, the world's biggest polluters trade show. Pushing the eternal growth paradigm as nature is depleted. So wh...

2025- Harvest of Cereals and Oilseed was down 20-25% Due to Drought & Excessive Heat.

Image
Agricultural Breadbasket failures have a habit of snowballing.  2025- Harvest of Cereals and Oilseed was down 20-25% Just to be clear, none of the preppers even noticed a drought or lack of rain this spring until the government started announcing it.  Climate Change is off the Prepper Agenda , which means forward intel on grain basket failures is not something they are sharing with their followers. But at the same time XR, & people associated with XR like Dr Gail Bradbrook might ne talking about empty supermarket shelves and the only solution she has to offer is Mutual Aid, food banks and ceremonialists. Most UK Preppers Deny Climate Change  and like XReadiness  failures to identify the issues on the horizon. This month the Met Office said that 2025 was on course to be the UK's hottest year since records began, with climate change driving higher temperatures. During 2025 we had several heatwaves. During 1 heatwave there were s...

7 Skills Survivalists Rarely Develop for Climate Driven Collapse

1 De-escalation of confrontation . When Preppers declare they have Voted for Russias Puppet Party, and then start telling people about humour, while weaponising the Union flag. Notne of these traits is suggestive of any ability to be good citizens. We don't need far right ideas spread by Russian agitators and politicians taking money from foreign states. So the thinking behind de-escalation, is that its good for your mental health to be less paranoid about those around you. We are already.living in collapse. We have time to teach our neighbours. Share in a an allotment or join a growing group. People are interested in prepping, ti stop people raiding you, teach them what to do, set up community  food stores and distribution hubs. Build resistant communities. 2 Multiple and low tech nature based water purification techniques:  Don't rely on shop bought water filters learn multiple techniques for making drinking water from dirty water. Your water purification skills  need t...

Climate and Collapse Anxiety, Connection to Nature is Key to Helping

Image
The primarily purpose of this blog post is to promote good mental health through contact with nature and teach people self reliance  especially for people experiencing climate Anxiety and climate related depression. I don't care what people believe in, however I think some people's approach to nature connection and therapy is deeply flawed. I am concerned that Dr Gail Bradbrook is taken in by Shamanic practitioners attending to climate grief and depression when there are psychiatric and psychological studies that indicate that prolonged contact with nature is good for our mental health. Its not just for charging our batteries. But the Shamanic Practitioners aren't offering nature therapy using medically proven techniques and peer reviewed data. Instead they are using New Age Pic'n'mix psychobabble. They are likely to do more damage, than help. Meaningful activity in nature is a psychiatrically proven non- medication intervention to ease Generalised Anxiety, one of ...
