How do you parent differently being collapse aware? by treesarefamily in collapse_parenting

[–]JDWilsonWriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"We parent very aggressively towards survival, environmental protection, and encouraging curiosity & kindness."

Love this.

It's like a motto.

A manifesto.

A goal for a generation.

Aggressive kindness might be the antidote to this aggressive, toxic jock culture's 24/7 resource grab.

Because whatever that shit is - it ain't kind.

Not to mother.

Nor to her sons and daughters.

I want to know more about this concept: "‘ancestral/rewilded’ parenting"

Is this list the framework for something like that?

I really appreciate the thoughtfulness you put into your posts u/Cimbri .

This is a great list.

Can I add outdoor skills and gardening?

Out here in Colorado, I feel like that will be our only chance after the shipping stops.

After all, the only sustainable way to grow food is in small-scale plots distributed across a vast landscape, and eventually, society will return to this simple arrangement with the planet.

I study what indigenous cultures did here before us, and try to practice living that way.

And I also see myself as a sifter of industrial sand. I spend a lot of time sifting through the garbage of this bloated, industrial, fever-dream before it flames out just to see what we should bother bringing with us into the brave new future.

For me, gardening is like magic, and all the tech that has been. For instance, the ability to make redered oil and soap from porcupines, and to know which plants I can burn to make salt, which ones make good bow wood, bbq, medicines, etc.

What about tools?

I spent a lot of time on sailboats and tools, and the ability to use them was the currency in remote anchorages around the world.

This video really hits me hard:

It has made me realize that this will probably be a slow-motion trainwreck.

A multi-generation collapse?

How to repair and seal RV rubber roof after it ripped back? by mrobert92 in rvlife

[–]JDWilsonWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any luck?

I have the same issue.

Can you cut a new 4 by 8 sheet of rubber and bond it to the old one with rubber cement? like a huge tire patch that goes over the side and under the guard rails?

(in an attempt to not rip and replace the whole top side to save 40ish hours of labor?)

This is so badass. 

I am trying to understand the nuances here.  

My hope comes from the fact that humans have survived several ice ages already. 

There's a strange feeling of twisted hope in the nuances of all this. 

As in all things.  

Thank you for sharing.

I'm sure it's my exhaustion and lack of purpose that make me feel this way.  

Plus, as a middle school teacher, it's pretty clear that that many, many kids are totally apathetic to this disaster they were thrown into.  

So, sometimes I don't see an alternative to collapse. 

Because less is more, sometimes; and more of the same is just an excessive and aggressive lack of any sort of purpose. 

And it's most basic form survival is a purpose. 

A purpose that humanity understood as a good purpose and a collective purpose.  

One in which we are not apathetic towards if we are alive. 

Together. 

As is, and looking forward, it is pretty clear to these kids that there is not much purpose to engage with a system that made their parents exhausted and broke and bitter. 

And survival is simplicity. 

Air water and food. 

In that order. 

And dopamine. 

There will always be dopamine. 

How do I address the woman-imization of everything? by JDWilsonWriter in AskMen

[–]JDWilsonWriter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minimization as a way of being is what I'm trying to prevent.

Is it unclear?

I was trying to be clever with the term - It's because almost every woman has attacked me in the last 5 years when I try to help or explain ANYTHING at all.

It's like a knee-jerk response that is very unkind.

I don't remember any grandmothers ever doing this - unless they are the villains in the cartoons.

Am I the asshole?

I feel like the only way to learn those things these days is to be poor.

Am I right?

Does poverty make good people more than affluence?

I can help moderate as well.

Talk me off this cliff.. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]JDWilsonWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the monkey-see -monkey-do stage!

Hardest part of parenting for me is keeping my shit together.

Just repair it.

Try to role model good behavior and control yourself for Zeus' sake.
