"Modern farming is war farming". I hadn't considered that before, but you're absolutely correct. Here I am on my three acres immediately adjacent to a conventional chicken, sheep and dairy farm, still picking plastics out of the soil, still tripping over buried barbed wire. I'm composting, using Lactobacillus solutions and growing genuine organic, non F1 seeds. Amazed at how big and luxuriant are the chickens I've managed to raise from their commercially reared and vaccinated parents. Beekeeping, which I've started in earnest, is a case in the points you make - most beekeepers employ multiple "manipulations" (yes, they actually call all their interventions that!), taking all the honey, wondering why their colonies become diseased when Roundup is used nearby and they take all the honey and then "feed" the bees with sugar syrup! Absolutely crazy, and not how I intend to go about things. This year is my first full season and, though I had to feed syrup to my newly delivered indigenous colonies of Apis Mellifera Mellifera, I did learn to add Lactobacillus and Apple Cider vinegar to reduce the Ph to that of honey. Good work Dominique!
I tried intensely to break the bees I had from the aids.
Even had hives die from herbicide overspray - the warning on the label of this herbicide warned of not allowing farm animals on the land sprayed for 30 days - and then I mistakenly realized. No where in nature are bees able to accumulate this much resources without a caretaker.
I did develop a routine that worked for a time though, but I didn't take much honey and was a ruthless killer of those bees 'who would start overwintering on the stores (here in the cold climate).
To end up with the eventual recycling of human corpses?
Of course, most are now volunteering. But the domesticated insects have the capacity to eat all humans rather quickly. perhaps even escaping to eat their creators.
Thank you and shared, it is interesting the SG is set in 2022.

Absolutely mind blowing Substack that I shouldn’t be staying up to read so late into the morning!!
