I think there are several cases of doctors going on strike in a country and deaths going down.

oh dear 😳

good sick? (as in queasy-in-the-morning sick?)

(these photos were during the building phase! we hadn't yet grouted the tiles, and I don't remember now why we had plastic on the window frame)

I think it has more to do with thinking long term. My husband and I don't have much btc, but we're all in on the philosophy and when we built our house, it was with the future in mind. It's solid and made with real materials (brick, straw, mud, lime, sand, wood). We could have done it faster with flimsy materials, but we are thinking long-term and we want it to last. I can imagine that when people with that attitude build a church, it's going to be more interesting and beautiful than the buildings we've seen over the last 50 years or so.

my husband says thank you - he just came over to my computer to watch the whole clip!

how is this not juror intimidation

does this mean we're going to see a baby Noshole next year? 🥰

For anyone who hasn't come across Illich, one of the central concepts is the idea of radical monopoly: a central aspect of the human condition being comandeered by an industry. Radical monopoly in medicine is when the medical complex takes over the entire realm of human health. Birth becomes a medical event, death a medical event; health, disease, mood - in most modern societies these exist under the control and expertise of an industry called "medicine." If you are not trained and accredited within that system, you are not supposed to make decisions or in some cases even have opinions about those subjects. And if you are accredited and have heterodox opinions, you will generally be kicked out of the system. It's a profound concept and is relevant for almost every struggle for sovereignty and basic humanity.

My father is somewhat obsessed with him - or was during a chunk of my childhood - and the distinction between education and schooling was drummed in to me pretty early on. Amazing thinker, but I haven't actually read Deschooling Society. My husband and I read Medical Nemesis during the pandemic - and it was eerily prescient. It's so cool to see mentions of his work on Nostr 💕

oh 🥺 🫂
