That makes me very, very happy to hear, Daniella!
(I need to add one of those "phew" emoticons, hehe!)
I keep thinking about Newfoundland and what I'd try to do there. Naturally, it's virtually impossible for me to imagine what it's like, but as with any remote area, I keep thinking about useful enterprises that could take advantage of the environment in some way that might benefit mankind. There are some rather mysterious aspects of existence to consider, such as Epigenetics and even the esoteric soul-plans, making one question the purpose of being born into such a world and how ready people may be to approach technology with some altruistic agenda. We are generally raised without any real understanding of collective well-being and how to apply ourselves to it. "Obey the system, work to succeed, earn money to survive, consume, submit!" all this insanity. We're being pressured to fend for ourselves properly from an early age..."you gotta do this, gotta do that, have to listen, assert yourself to get ahead...", all this for yourself, all focus on yourself and maybe those, who directly depend on you. But to realize that each of us actually functions for all of us has almost gotten impossible nowadays and for a long time already.
I believe, extreme places like that far north could be great places to research and develop alternative housing/architecture, integrated agriculture and energy technologies...all aiming for natural integration into the environment, similar to "Earthships" or in the same spirit, while exploring more reasonable/conventional materials, including a real revival of geopolymers for construction and proper use as thermal mass and so on...
...get kids excited about combining technology and nature and offer education into also virtual fields so that they could contribute and connect more directly to the larger world without feeling abandoned in the wilderness, so to say. I would try to study what excited people there and what gives them a sense of fulfillment. There's everything right about being fisher, seller, cook, construction worker, general service provider, all the normal useful jobs are important and full of purpose. If your work contributes to the function of the community, you are part of this function, no matter what. There should be no conceivable reason for envy or strive, but to create such a deeply seeded health in the spirit of a community requires some heavy deprogramming for the healing process, I"m afraid. In essence, they'd have to be cut off from TV Networks, hahahaha... DOH!
Anyway...again, I can't imagine what it's really like to be born into Newfoundland and- frankly- it's not in my "soul-plan", but I'd love to imagine that the right kind of ideas may come to turn things around for the better up there and maybe even start an improved society for all of us, who knows?! Trouble is, those in the know already understand that a real improvement is too dangerous for our current world-systems and every time a sign flares up, it gets demonized and destroyed as quickly and quietly as possible and as loud as it has to be. Luckily Newfoundland is not really a pivotal place in terms of resources or influence, as far as I can tell. They may just have a real chance, hehe.
Sorry for "dreaming out loud" a little. I just wonder about these things, wonder about these people. Few people are born psychopaths, which means that even those, who somehow get brainwashed to kill the cutest of beings, suffer a great loss of self for doing so and harden beyond reason. They don't kill them for themselves...it's the perversion of the heads of society that "provides the clubs", just like in so many other ways it does it to so many other people.
Dang, I'm so way off topic...maybe I should start a thread there for some naive dreaming of a better world, hehe!
