When I say things along those lines on physical circles or on reddit I get attacked or downvoted. Whether it is conservatives (pro-capitalists), pseudo-progressive-ecological-reformers, or radicals (leninists-anarchists), it makes no difference. Physics can not contradict their myth and assumptions. They exist within the assumption that if you can conceive something it is possible.

On the other hand, in the academic world, it is very rare for a physicist to make such a lecture, and not be considered a charlatan, because he is not a specialist on anything, "therefore he can not possibly know". Academics have broken down gradually into micro-specialists. A nuclear engineer can not lecture on drinking water, an economist can not speak of energy transformation, a chemist can not speak of agricultural production. But the farmer knows. The farmer witnesses the land's degradation and its inability to produce any food for any life form. The fisherman knows it takes more and more oil to produce fish. The miner knows it takes more and more digging to produce a mineral. The lumberjack knows that real good wood doesn't exist anymore and none is growing. But we must listen to the experts and obey their decisions.

At the end he says "we must reorganize society" like people are puppets in the hands of the social designers. A micro-fascist scientist nevertheless, who will impress the audience and be elected to head the department/ministry of energy someday.

How could an intelligent man who really believes what he says be so wealthy to waste money on the apple in front of him? It is a rotten apple.

That indiegogo site seems impossible to read, even the title, without unleashing all the social and advertising scripts in the world. Even through startpage all I got was blank.
So he spent 5k+ to prove he is smarter than all the other exhibitors who may have actually made some money for their source funding ideas?

Wait until I get my mycelium network exposed .. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI5frPV58tY
En ce qui concerne la pomme de terre:

"Chapeau!"

(Fun fact for the French: in Germany this is a slightly less euphoric and slightly more honorable (as in awe) expression of "Bravo!") ;)



Addendum:

I'd definitely support a mycelium crowdfunding!
(Although I actually already have gathered fungi and mycorrhizae from healthy soils for my own farm projects...)

Maybe Obarun can be the driving force for fungus science of the future...?
Are you a permaculturist?
I have tried ... I need 3 more lifetimes :)
Have you seen/read Stamet's permaculture with a fungal twist in it?

Not yet fungal, not yet. The last years I was trying to do exactly that, after years of reading and farming our backyard. Gathering seeds of all sorts and trying to naturally improve them by selection. My wife and I bought land in the hometown of her grandmas which is located in east-central Mexico. Climate is sub tropical. It's gorgeous. The soil is rather healthy for today's standards and the zone bursts with varieties of exotic fruit and wood. But we currently are in bad terms, maybe even breaking up and I'm rather unsure about my permaculture (I'd prefer to say "livin' on the farm mostly self-sufficient") future.
I'd love to know more about your experience on that matter. Shame on me for never responding your mail. It came a day where it couldn't have come better. It was weird timing cause it really made my day that day...Thank you for that. I'd say you won't get three lifetimes, so why not keep dreaming in this one you got? ;) Stay focused, make baby steps :) There's a phrase I stumbled upon recently which I like a lot: "Respect for those who failed. At least they tried."
I have heard of Stamet but never actually read anything about/from him. I do like to see people stress the importance of fungi though and people who see practical uses in them. I actually have already tried to grow some a few times with a friend of mine who still engages in the subject. I didn't care well enough though and wasn't into building something for what were mere experiments back then.
First I am really sorry to hear your breaking up story, any breakage of unity is bad news, especially today where we are all pushed to isolation. I've had my share of struggle with Latin temperament, it is part of the beauty I think ;), but after about 4 long term breakups, and 20 (exactly) years later, if I send a note saying hello, happy new year, I get such a vicious reaction and such harsh cursing, that I haven't encountered for 20 years in the street.

About Mex. coast and high lands.
Not so much the East side of Mex. but the West, SW, down to Nicaragua and Panama at one point archaeology said that had 1mil population, which was 1/2 or more of the total earth population, due to the abundance of food and nutrients. I think at about the same time in Mesopotamia and that Pacific coast is where all the wrong decisions and wrong human development started, 10K years ago, where people decided to grow food instead of hunting and picking it from the forest. So they begun this seed selection and evolution, food/nutrient diversity went down, mortality and morbidity increased, height and bone size decreased, and there is even evidence of the skull size decreasing, which is loosely associated with stupidity. :) Corn and bananas appear to have grown 5-10 times in size due to this. Then there are those in the S.Pacific where till "recently" had never developed the bad habit of growing food. The men had bows the women picked seeds, herbs, and fruit, and communities were an integral harmonious part of the forest (ultimate sustainable diversity - plenty of food for all). Then the barbarians came and disrupted all of this and formed the ultimate unsustainable condition of destroying the forest to survive alone.

Since you seem very mechanically able you should make a small experiment (at least 1 cu.m. total capacity) with aquaponics/hydroponics. Not that it is a good thing, but it helps with hands on experience to understand what are all the bad things we do with agriculture. You can make a nice tomato or cabbage but it may be trash (nutrient wise) because it is missing all that it could have obtained from a naturally rich stable forest soil - even if you feed the plants and fish the right nutrients you will be missing all the micro-organisms that convert substances to plant food. I think it all begins to make sense in there and you see industrial agriculture being like a hydroponic tank. An artificial environment where sick plants feed sick people. Beware that some of the mycorrhizal pop-propaganda may be unsubstantiated and only helps some charlatans selling mixes of murky juice and crumbs. You can take your plants to the forest but you can't take the forest to your plants. https://news.mongabay.com/2019/11/beneficial-and-harmful-fungi-are-at-the-root-of-forest-diversity/ What they sometimes call pathogenic or parasitic is due to looking at the trees and missing the forest. In the grand scheme of things no life is parasitic. But this is western science/bias influencing even the all wise china-men. The higher the divergence the better the equilibrium and sustainability of all species.

The sad thing is that if the Hindus were right, and I did get 3 lifetimes, there may be no humans or cows left on the planet by then. Alone in the dessert will be no way to live, even if there was water, oxygen, and food stored somewhere. And we are speeding up trying to reach that goal for humanity and all species, at least from 1000m below water surface to the highlands where vegetation stops.

The Linux Fondation is something like a Trojan horse to get acces to others FOSS projects.
I can give a very good example with the Linux kernel and the power that Intel has on it since the discovery of Intel CPU vulnerabilies and now iGPU hardware vulnerability.

Any sane person within the linux kernel would refuse to participate in this masquerade, would have taken decisions in favor of the community and not to serve the interests of a company with more than questionable practices and finally would have tell to Intel to fix their hardware shit.

Unfortunately the decisions made will have serious consequences for the Linux kernel and this is only the beginning.
