Table of ContentsThe Fight Was Fixed The recent spectacle between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul promised a heavyweight clash. Instead, it became a perfect display of how attention is the real currency today. The fight wasn’t about combat; it was about capturing eyes and wallets. And it worked—until it didn't. The Netflix stream crashed repeatedly, and in the end, there was barely a fight at all. Tyson pulled his punches, literally biting his gloves instead of landing blows that could have ended it early.

The political order that will come out of this event will last for the rest of our lifetimes. Welcome to issue 46, which was deliberately withheld out of superstition so that issue 47 would not be the post-election issue. More proof that following superstitions doesn’t work. Although did you know that the incoming POTUS is not the 47th because it was already the 45th, and grammatically they will always be the 45th, even if they get to reign again after Mr. 46. Seriously though, how ya doin?

Welcome to Issue 43! There’s a certain poetry in ending a run at 42, but the interesting links and news items keep accumulating and the only way to clear them is to write an issue! Not to mention it is hot af here today so sitting at the computer beats working out on the farm. We did get some positive response to our query about an upcoming salon, however we’ll wait a bit before doing so.

Welcome to issue 42! The answer to life, the universe, and everything! That’s the easy part. The real challenge is understanding what the question is. We’re still working on that. Stay tuned. Speaking of the answer, fancy a salon? It’s been a while since we’ve held one of our salons. Let’s gather toward the end of August to reconnect and reflect in advance of what is shaping up to be a sensational fall. Do you have a topic or theme that you’d like us to get into?

Hey! We made it to issue 40! Only two more to go until we get to the answer. š The answer to what you ask? Table of ContentsIs 2024 when democracy dies? No, definitely not, but thatās the spin that drives a lot of attention and concern. In the US thereās reason to be concerned however, as a growing wealth disparity fuels a shift in focus from republic to empire. SCOTUS envisions a president who is less king and more god emperor.

Hello fellow Eco Punks! It’s been a while between issues, and in hindsight that should be expected at the start of the growing season. The daily grind on the farm in spring is relentless, as the list of jobs always exceeds the available time. However now that summer is right around the corner, it’s a little easier to take a few moments to look back at what we’ve been working on, reading, and writing.

Welcome to issue 38! We hope we’re not too late in helping you plan for the impending compounded pandemic. Alarmist, perhaps. Yet would you prefer to be safe rather than sorry?
