This 6-pillar curriculum teaches the basic literacy we need to be personally and financially successful and to do so in a manner in which together we evolve a culture that supports the emergence of an advanced human civilization.
“Agriculture’s been a horrible business for 30 years. For decades the money shufflers, the paper shufflers, have been the captains of the universe. That is now changing.
The people who produce real things [will be on top]. You’re going to see stockbrokers driving taxis.
The smart ones will learn to drive tractors, because they’ll be working for the farmers. It’s going to be the 29-year-old farmers who have the Lamborghinis. So you should find yourself a nice farmer and hook up with him or her, because that’s where the money’s going to be in the next couple of decades.”

Catherine,
I was planning on putting that quote on my blog,
you beat me to it!
Can you give some info on the derivatives bubble?
I have seen Newsweek say in OCt of last year that
it now stands at $600 TRILLION.
Are not Americans 401k’s, pensions, and bonds tied
into this?
Why do you think the media has been so eerily silent
on it the past several months?
Are you worried about them, do you recommend keeping
an eye on this and if so what media sources?
Thanks much.
James:
Check out Rob Kirby’s writings on derivatives. More later,
Catherine
Thank God I already own a tractor, raise chickens and hogs and thinking about beef and sheep.
I am getting prepared.
A general comment on leadership:
— Those who resort to slander, innuendo, or trickery, are
not fit for public political debate, much less leadership.
There’s NAIS – National Animal Identification System – as the feds are trying to control the food supply by mandating NAIS. Many people are against this. See http://nonais.org/
And of course, there’s the problem of GMO’s. Some of the GMO foods contain spermicide. See Joel Salatin’s comments.
Brian, the key issue – as in a chokepoint – is a control issue. If you can produce a product or service that competes with the status quo then you need to either be limited or at least controlled, as in a controlled-opposition. Can’t have people refrigerating their own food now can we. Oooops, they let that technology get away from them. 😉
He’s full of beans. Farmers won’t be driving high-end sports cars–the commodities brokers will be. It makes for good headlines though.
