Can you elaborate?

Thank you for explaining that

Then please reference what you mean by $9 per pound for tomatoes and the connexion to permaculture. Most likely you're mistaking permaculture for something else (e.g. "organic") or drawing unsubstantiated conclusions

This is why earth buildings can be so healing psychologically.

You really could. Permaculture is much more productive in the long term than the current dominant agriculture methods.

There's an episode [1] of Bill Mollison's Global Gardener series that addresses this well. [1] I don't know of a link to watch it, but this blog post explains it well enough: https://permaculturenews.org/2014&

I think this is the best beginners book for sure. In case anyone is wondering, it doesn't teach ES6, but it does teach veey grounded Javascript ideas and it won't be difficult to catch up with the latest changes to JS after learni

I think this is more for someone already familiar with the foundation level than for a beginner

Yes. You've proven my point exactly. Those kids don't have something that's interesting for them outside of Minecraft, snapchat etc. that you describe. It's not the teachers job to find something interesting for children

The biggest point you missed is that I am talking about non traditional schooling. Of course things are easier when you previously learned them. You're also missing that I'm talking about encouraging what someone already wants to

Your experience with two children vs Gatto's experience with hundreds (thousands?) as a public school teacher for years.

In Thailand I used GrabTaxi and once I found a driver whom I got along with, I got their personal number and would do this very thing. It worked well for them and me! But then Grab missed out :/

It's really not. There is evidence [1] that the trauma of circumcision lasts a lifetime 1. One example is Ch 4 and 5 of http://www.circumcision.org/cht.htm

Much of Africa's poverty comes from the oppression imposed by white people in the past and present. Yes, they [edit: Africans] came with their own problems, but white invaders really fucked things up.

Babies feel pain, which you seem to be saying they don't with: > by 13 he will go through with it. So now there's physical pain as well.

It IS mutilation to those who DON'T want it. A baby has no choice. Read my post again, most babies have no medical reason for it.

It's genital mutilation. There's no medical reason [1]. Yes, having a foreskin means you need to clean it regularly (or your caregiver if you're a baby). And then there are disgusting things like this [2]: > In a practice
