Please watch the latest <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDVcfSYcxc0" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDVcfSYcxc0. It's an interview with an old botanist, who shares his wisdom and philosophy, remains engaged after decades of witnessing first hand America's nature getting destroyed.
2 main points:
- destroyed old-growth forests, grassland, remnant prairies takes millennia to be back to what they were, not decades. Insects and other pollinators don't just reappear
- water availability for plants comes in many forms, all of which disappear with tillage.
Joey is an acquired taste, but if you look past the strong and odd personality (the persona?), his channel is a gold mine. But this time he was (rightfully) impressed by Gerry (Gerould) Wilhelm's wealth of knowledge.
His instagram account (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/crime_pays_but_botany_doesnt" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/crime_pays_but_botany_doesnt) is up there with Chuck Tingle in terms of subscribing to little bits of life-affirming joy in a difficult world.
How is the world so difficult? People live nowadays better than kings of France used to live. In the last hundred years we've been going through unprecedented wealth creations, not just in the West but accross the world.
