Opt In To Nature To Opt Out Of The System(s) ~Epi-078

What do we mean when we say we want to “opt out” of the system?

Firstly, it’s the system(s) – the means of production, transport, communication, value transmission etc that we have to interface with to acquire the things we need to live in the modern world. In general, the further the distance a product or service must travel and the more technology involved means you will have less control over how to source it, how much you pay for it, when (and if) it is available etc. If it is produced or provided closer to home you have more agency in how you obtain that product or service and it is more resilient to “disruptions”

Why are so many of us drawn to opting out?
We have no agency over the direction of the system(s) – they are by and large completely hijacked by parasites – the political technocratic oligo-corporate controlling class. If we want to have more agency, and thus freedom to live life on our own terms – in alignment with our innate intelligence – the solutions are found in living in closer connection with Nature and other decentralized/distributed systems based on Nature.

Fundamentally, this is about designing your life to create freedom from the system(s) via interdependence with Nature. We all have an ecological umbilical cord – we are completely and utterly dependent upon functioning ecosystems to provide us with ALL of the things we need and want to live well. The sooner we acknowledge this the sooner we can be FREE from pretending we don’t have an ecological umbilical and all resulting pathology that follows.

What We Can Do To Opt Out By Opting In To Nature Connection

Create freedom from the system(s) by leveraging your interdependence with Nature – choose to ally your life with Nature – Nature is what “they” fear and cannot ever control.
Harvest and use Nature’s gifts – everywhere nature gives us gifts for free
Become ecosystem literate where you live – every place has something that wants to grow there – use analogs to find productive species to meet your needs
Embrace Cyclical vs. Linear
- Cyclical = biology-based – slower, but infinitely more resilient and powerful – where how you grow & harvest can enrich the whole ecosystem.
Trust in Distributed wisdom vs. Centralized “intelligence”
- centralization of decision-making authority and technical know-how is a hallmark of the technocratic system being pushed upon us
- the opposite of this is Nature – wisdom in every cell
  - YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE CELLS – composed of trillions of other cells – each with it’s own innate wisdom
Find your place and commit to it and it’s people – so much of the control system is commodification of the things that used to be provided via reciprocity by close human relationships.
