Thank you for passing that article along to me. It was very helpful, very enlightening. Perhaps you can relate to this, but when I read these kinds of texts, a sort of calm comes over me, and I feel like everything is okay, I guess because it confirms in a simple way everything I feel. But then, I go back, and I have to go to work etc. Anyway, it is hard to transition between these ideas, between the wild and civilized epistemology, and I am not sure what to do. I listened to Ron's most recent interview with you on Deep Green Philly, and I was so moved. I haven't stopped thinking about that story about the fat man from the west, and the starving African, and the water... You said, "It was so parasitic." Maybe for the first time, when I heard you say that, I began to face my parasitism, and how ingrained it is in my behavior and the means of my existence. I just wanted to write you back and say thank you. You have helped me in the decolonization process. What you are doing is important to me. I hope you keep it up. Deep Green Resistance is organizing widespread blockades of civilized infrastructure in the U.S. What do you think of that? Can any of the civilized REALLY prepare to go back? Can we give up our cake? I don't see it, but what else can we do. We have to try to stop it for the sake of the wild, even if most people's minds have been domesticated. I am curious as to what you think the transformation/revolution/reformation etc. should begin to look like. Luke Layla,

I listened to Ron’s most recent interview with you on Deep Green Philly, and I was so moved. I haven’t stopped thinking about that story about the fat man from the west, and the starving African, and the water… You said, “It was so parasitic.” Maybe for the first time, when I heard you say that, I began to face my parasitism, and how ingrained it is in my behavior and the means of my existence.

The referenced study/life/auto-ethnographer is Lasse Nordlund: http://www.ymparistojakehitys.fi/susopapers/Lasse_Nordlund_Foundations_of_Our_Life.pdf If you are interested for an indepth discussion of his work, I contextualise and discuss it at length in my research, entitled: "Order and the Literary Rendering of Chaos: Children's Literature as Knowledge, Culture, and Social Foundation" available in PDF at the library of the University of Montreal (you can find a link to it here: http://layla.miltsov.org/summary/ ). All the best, L. Thank you for your comment, Luke.

I am curious about a study you referenced in your Deep Green Philly interview. You mentioned a Finnish economist that looked into the economics of technology etc. It sounded really cool and it is something I've thought about looking into myself. Could you send me the information for the study? Thanks! Luke Byrnes Hi Layla,

I am particularly interested in the northward movement of growing regions due to climate change. My NY sustainable hardwood forestry/ edible forest project on 120 acres is using climate contingency ecological design approaches to restoration and pre-planting of the forest in preparation for all conceivable rapid change scenarios. I have also been checking out the area around southern Hudson Bay and the shift of hardwood forest types northward. If you happen upon any interesting practical work or publications on that, please let me know. We hope to meet up again one day. I do my forest work in NY for two weeks every spring and autumn, although not when the baby arrives this coming autumn. All the best, Patrik Hola Layla,
