Correct usage ; self-management

The sorts of emergency things I think about are this kind - say there was an environmental problem that prevented growing of crops, solutions to that would be applying growing techniques like hydroponics - these are the kinds of scenarios that would involve no sunlight - so you'd need underground places to grow in, or indoors, some way of generating and storing the power (not solar obviously in this case) to be used to run the growing lights.

I consider other uses of such to be a waste of power ; cannabis can be imported and it tastes rubbish anyway grown w/o real sun - this sort of thing is meant to be for absolute emergencies. We have this situation here on Earth right now, that all kinds of technology are out there not being used for what they are intended for - if we just let hash producers do their thing and export it too, think of all the electricty saved cause no indoor lights and humidifyers and CO2 generators would be needed.

I'm including that because I'm not some liar who'll just look the other way because it's something I agree with overall. A lot of ganj costs more per ounce than gold does. But it's not better than skank from the 70s with seeds in.

Care needs to be taken so that when things start going right, that the usual types of consciousness don't come in and pull it all the wrong way again - organic milk is a great example. The supermarkets here started stocking organic milk, which was a watershed moment at all - however, they had to start doing something to make it less natural and more controlled and mass-produced, so they invented this thing called 'homogenised' milk - which basicly is that all the fat molecules in the milk are made the same size as each other. Nutritionists know that's a bad thing - it's too processed and the gut prefers the actual range of molecule sizes to deal with. So now, if I want proper organic milk, I have to travel further - which adds petrol miles! and CO2 emissions.

Attempts were being made in the USA to change the actual definition of 'organics' so that they could include all kinds of un-natural and nowhere near organic anything in produce with 'organic' stamped on it.

We need insanity-detectors so they can't begin any of that.
