Tsū. Redesigning Civilization -- with Permaculture. Tsū. Tsū. Tsū. 10 Differences Between Chlidren Who Grew Up in the 70’s vs. Today. By: Marco Torres, Prevent Disease As a child who grew up in the seventies, I’m flabbergasted at the degree of generational differences in health, medicine, food, safety, and general well-being of children. Don’t get me wrong, I love technology and all the advancements we’ve made in several areas, but at the same time when you break it down to the simplest ways of managing human lives, we’ve taken one step forward and three steps back. The level of fear we currently exhibit as parents and as a society towards children is at an unprecedented level. When comparing the two time periods, an element of certainty exists where we have now immersed our most precious assets into an toxic, overly hygienic, medicalized, obsessive compulsive, paranoid, anxious and at the very least, a “cowardice culture” where children are being trained and almost indoctrinated into a world where “the norm” is to fear everything and everyone. 1. 2. 3. 4. 6. 8. 9. 10.

In the heart of the divorce boom (starting in the ‘60s, peaking in the ‘70s) a generation of women ended up parenting (mostly) solo, and a generation of boys ended up being raised (mostly) without a positive father figure, if they had one at all. Maybe it was partially a reaction to “women’s lib” that led men to feel less-than-needed. And maybe it was the grey flannel rebellion, personified by the whining tone of the dissatisfaction of the Playboy Men of the ‘50s, that led women to feel fed up enough to stand up and say, “To hell with this!” How far back this winding battle for self-actualization as war-of-the-sexes goes is a question that can’t be answered.
But irrefutably, while entirely necessary, the attempt towards a leveling of the playing field has resulted in some serious casualties. But in the home, woman ruled. A generation of men really did fuck up. This group of boys would grow into men. The struggle goes on. Vive la différence! A desire to be desired. The Lost Art of Strength. Watch this....

Quercus robur is the Common oak which grows in ancient forests across Europe but there are hundreds of different types of oak trees, some deciduous of the Quercus family and others evergreens, mainly of the Cyclobalanopsis family.
This article is concerned only with the Quercus robur oak. The Naming of the Oak Quercus in Latin means oak tree, but this word comes from two Celtic words, ‘quer’ meaning fine or beautiful, and ‘cuez’ meaning tree. In Celtic the word ‘drus’ is the oak tree, and it is from this word that we get the name Druid, the priestly caste of the Celts who worshipped in groves, and who believed that the oak was the most sacred of all trees. The Latin ‘robur’ gives us the word ‘robust.’ Health Benefits of the Oak All parts of the oak and its ‘guests’ have health benefits.

Birth from the Baby’s Perspective Edited and updated: March 2013 Picture this… A mother sits holding her newborn son on a postnatal ward during visiting time.
One of her visitors reaches forward, grasps the baby by the head and pulls him out of his mothers arms leaving him dangling by his neck. Can you imagine the reaction of the mother and those around? Yet no one raises an eyebrow when this occurs during birth. If we accept that human babies are people and have feelings (both physical and emotional) why do we accept how many babies are treated during birth? A medical approach to welcoming a baby to the world Once the baby has been ‘removed’ their first minutes are spent away from their mother being subjected to assessments (abuse): This interference with the mother-baby unit can result in long term implications for bonding, breastfeeding, maternal bleeding, baby’s skin colonisation with maternal bacteria (ie. infection, gut health).

H+ Magazine | Covering technological, scientific, and cultural trends that are changing human beings in fundamental ways. Joshua Fox Transhumanists strive to humanize–the opposite of “dehumanize.” We want everyone to be as human as possible.
What does “being human” mean? Whatever you want it to. But since you’re human, I’ll bet that it includes some or all of life, love, family, beauty, dignity, sexuality, creativity, freedom, learning, and the like. All these desires, the elevated and the base, were sculpted by evolution, hundreds of thousands of years ago on the African savanna. Transhumanism is usually associated with technophilia. Even the freely-chosen technological luxuries of today’s wealthy societies can be dehumanizing. Even imperfect technology can humanize. The complaint goes: “Make real friends, not Facebook friends.” Cell phones can annoy, but they have also eliminated a specific kind of social misery; the unpleasantness of missing rendezvous with a friend, checking your watch and walking around the block, wondering if you set the right time and place.
