I was an avid fan of Asimov as a child. I note he was more a big picture guy than a crafter of intimate characters, but, that was more informative to me in my youth.
Today, I am as active as I dare to be with my neighbors. I don't go to parties or drink with them much, but I do chat with them daily, and seek to be a good neighbor as much as I can, by helping them with their homes (I'm a carpenter).
I live in a village, so it's far less focused on the digital world than folks in cities, I think. That daily chat over the fence is much more important that most of us recognize, I believe. The truth is that our neighbors are far more critical to our survival than our financial assets, our politics, or the media we consume.
When the tsunamis hit, when war comes, when the power goes out, our neighbors are right there, and the rest of it doesn't matter much at all.
Thanks!
That there my friend is the piece of the puzzle most fail to see...
In my youth, and from time to time since, I have lived alone in the woods. Nothing more demonstrates the real value of people over things than being without them, no matter what skills you have, or stuff you use.
This reminds me... have you ever head of this man...
Not to my knowledge. He has my hairdresser though =p
Looks like he lives hereabouts. The plant he ate at the beginning of the video is Oxalis, a tasty and plentiful herb chock full of vitamin C.
Thanks for the video!
