Learn to Garden.

No seriously.

AI represents the pinnacle of consumerism.

The culmination of a system where Humans produce nothing for their own consumption.

Fractured communities of isolated and desperate consumer-workers who cannot survive outside the system they were born into.

To undermine this system requires not just attacking it’s foundation, but digging beneath to the fundament, usurping it through a grass roots refusal to participate.

Beneath the foundations of consumerism, capitalism, and every society we can remember is agriculture.

Stop participating in the high price of groceries.

Start producing your own food, feeding, and growing your community.

You don’t have to make everything from scratch to reject the Door Dash Fast Food Overnight Delivery system that exists entirely to extract profit from the human need to eat.

Use capitalism to your advantage. Buy hydroponics and lights to grow indoors year round. Buy hoop houses to extend outdoor seasons. Buy seeds. Grow seedlings and give them away.

Learn to harvest seeds from the plants you grow.

Cook and preserve food. Fill a pantry/freezer and EAT what’s in it!

Work together with your friends/neighbours to support local farmers and grocers.

Learn about plant Hardiness and what crops will remain/become viable in your region.

Then take this concept and apply it to every other aspect of human existence that’s been coopted to fund a system that ultimately results in AI slop.

    anybody who doesn’t have space to garden

    If you have space you can grow. Literally any shelf, any deck, any yard you can grow something.

    The sustainability element is that most grocery produce is infertile… meaning that when global food supply chains collapse due to climate change, many places will have very few viable seeds to begin local production.

    Growing herb seedlings is an excellent and rewarding project for even a “book shelf” gardener.
