“The era of preservation is over. There aren’t enough old growth habitats left to preserve. We’re entering the Millennium of Restoration. We’ve got to rebuild with the best we’ve got ….” David Milarch
The Man From Copemish The anthropocene slides to chthulucene, the mad max bizzarro, came the man from heaven, back from the dead to forsaken Copemish without a dollar only a penny for his thoughts, he's on a mission with sequoias and cloning, stemming the end one tube stock at a time. He's no sophisticated eco-guerrilla guy, just a back blocks bloke with an edgy idea that just might save the world one carbon particle at a time. Copyright 2023 ©️Paul Vincent Cannon All Rights Reserved ®️ Note: David Milarch and his son Jake have successfully cloned ancient Sequoia and have also successfully planted them, and are doing so around the world. Sequoia are the worlds largest living thing, and are a major source of carbon exchange. They grow fast which is a huge benefit. David set up the Archangel Tree Project to collect and protect ancient trees. David is known as the Tree Prophet which is also the title of a short documentary about him by Christian Scheider available on Vimeo. David took on this challenge as the result of a near death experience and receiving a message to come back and do this work. Fascinating. We need more odd and edgy people to get on with it.

I think we need people like him – they get things moving when the “experts” are paralysed.

It makes a difference when someone doesn’t have to lean in the direction of the prevailing political winds.

Yes, though I think that’s becoming more difficult, there’s precious little middle ground, no grey, most of the west is polarised now.

Black-and-white thinking is a logical fallacy. Harumph.

Yes indeed, it’s amazing how flawed and paranoid philosophy and theology drive the minds of some.

The gullibility of some to self-serving propaganda with the basest of motives is truly mindboggling.

In my view that is pure criminal activity, and not far removed from Goebbels 1930s methods.

These people are being taken in by the exact same methods that Geobbels used in the 1930s. They are the tactics that carried out the strategy Hitler laid out in Mein Kampf. (I read Mein Kampf in college, and I also studied the rhetoric of propaganda and how not to be taken in by it.) I’m astounded that people are falling for it now.
Now that I think about it, the utopian communities course I took in college made very clear that such communities (and their close relatives, cults) are dependant on a single charasmatic leader–and when that leader is gone, the communities/cults disintegrate.
I probably shouldn’t have taken all those history courses . . .

Not everyone listens in college, I found the high schoolers I worked with were not listening much of the time. I too read Mein Kampf, and studied propaganda in political science, what a nightmare, but yes, those who don’t listen, who misunderstand, who live in closed networks (cults, sects, self reifying groups) are the issue right now. Gah, what a mess.
