Become an Urban Homesteader
On our little urban farm in the heart of Los Angeles we produce food, hack our house to generate power and recycle water, plot revolution and build community. You can too. Trust us, once you eat a sweet tomato still warm from the sun, or an orange-yolked egg from your own hen, you will never be satisfied with the pre-packaged and the factory-farmed again.
The Trap of Simulation
A spark of divine intelligence exists in each human being, according to Gnostic cosmology. This Greek word for this concept is nous, usually translated as "mind." When considered alongside the Gnostic concept of Hal – this Coptic word means "simulation" – the Gnostic perspective on nous may offer a way to orient us to the noosphere. Hal is close to what we today understand as Virtual Reality.
