Death World/Life World

We have some ducks and a duck pond on our property. It's uphill from the garden and some fruit trees and other trees. A couple of years of duck pond overflow transformed the soil. The trees growing downhill from the pond probably grow 8-10x faster than their counterparts elsewhere in the yard. I planted some locust trees, for example, all across the back yard. The one that's directly in the path of the flow from the pond is about 15 feet tall and has a 4-6" trunk now.

I've been feeding animals on the property for about 10 years too. It's basically the same principle as the duck pond. Life creates the conditions for more life, generally speaking, although certain circumstances can make that work more efficiently, like the duck pond scenario on my property. I'm going to replicate that all through the landscape over the next 10-20 years if I live that long anyway.

The extra-dimensional civilization entity, on the other hand, creates death and sterility. Some people equate that sterility to "cleanliness". The world of stuff: tech, boats, cars, motorcycles, concrete, glass runs contrary to the positive cycle of natural life.

Nature seems to want to create a profusion of forms and complexity, while the demons of civilization wants simple shapes, colors, and textures for some strange reason. You can see this play out in older homes when people paint woodwork or brickwork so it is literally coated with a layer of plastic and pigment. Landscapers do the same thing for homeowners: green square of uniform length grass. Mulch. Etc...

It's actually quite weird that people live in such opposition to the natural order of things.

Keeping Chickens: Easy AF

There's currently an "egg shortage", although I don't see any evidence of that at my local grocery store.

My family didn't have any farm animals when I was growing up. I think lots of parents of the 1970s and 80s who maybe grew up on a farm considered it "low class" or something to keep farm animals. They were trying to live the "fancy"/garbage life they saw in movies and TV shows. Anyway, I didn't have any chickens or ducks until recent years. Now we have a small flock of birds.

Chickens are trivially easy to take care of. Ducks are slightly more complicated because they constantly need water. If you live in a cold area, it takes some ingenuity to supply sufficient liquid water to ducks year 'round. Chickens just need a coop, some food, and are much more robust when it comes to water needs. Almost any enclosed/shelter providing structure can serve as a chicken coop. An old shed can house chickens. A few sheets of plywood tacked together on trash 2x4's will work, etc... 

Anyway, it's significantly easier to take care of chickens than a dog or a cat. It's maybe 10 minutes of work per day or less. In addition to providing eggs or meat if you choose to kill and eat them, the chickens provide fertilizer for gardens or ornamental plants.

Most people with a house could easily have a small flock of chickens. I think it would have been a good experience when I was a kid to take care of some birds and see how they act. It's a way to get some wisdom as a young one.

Corporate/Consumer World is Just the Classical World

There are a lot of people who imagine the classical world was somehow better than the present day western world. It's really just the same thing. Rome was a giant corporate entity with a dysfunctional, insane ruling class and a dopey population of believers and slaves. The current day world is similar, but we have better machines and technology.

People think the different western religions today are significantly different than classical world religions, but it's pretty obvious the god character in the jewish mythology is just jew zeus and the jesus character is jew dionysus or osiris. The whole osiris bread story is even retained in the mythology, well so is the dionysus wine and donkey riding thing.

It's pretty bizarre everything is so static. Nothing changes, people don't get any better. There's still endless conflict about the assholey land, which is totally bizarre. So called western people have been trying to reclaim places like Jerusalem for thousands of years. Who cares? Pretty much every place in the Western world, especially a place like the United States has vastly more resources.
