I don’t like the term “topsoil”

I think it creates a false construct and concept in the minds of those that work it and need to nurture it.

“Soil” is the amalgamated collection of eroded rocks … gravel, sand, silt, loam, clay — a complete collection of various mineral types and properties.

“Topsoil’ is actually a complete micro-ecosystem. It is a rich mix of life - that is based on twoo primary forms: fungal and bacterial.

The rich organic material that has broken down through humidification into humus provides the basis for the symbiotic interaction between the bacteria, the funbgii, the microorganisms and the plant roots. The fungi and bacteria exchange minerals, sugars and elemental materials to plants and trees in a manner that is accessible to them. It is a delicate ecosystem which provides a nutritional balance that cannot be found in “soil” otherwise.

It’s important to remember this and realise that we need to feed, grow and sustain this ecosystem if we want plant life to thrive.

warning: theism; philosophy; balh, blah, blah and tl;dr

It’s been an observation of mine that those who are more likely to not accept the status quo, to ask “why?” that one time more often than everyone else, that are never satisfied with simply “knowing” but are determined to “understand” tend to be those who no longer relate to the constructs of faith and/or religion.

This does not mean that those that do not are “dumber” and does not make those that do “smarter”. It is just a different way to view the world.

There are those that do think like this, but are also happy to maintain the construct of theism. This is their choice. Do not deride them for that.

I believe that the evolutionary role of religion in society as the means of providing a protecting and binding governance is no longer required. The rise of the fifth age of philanthropy, along with the rise of instant information and the emergence of a feeling of being part of a global community means that humanity is now on the slow but steady path to the unified view of itself - opening up the door to a true humanitarian actions and an understanding of consequences that goes beyond that of their own backyard.

This may be difficult to see sometimes, especially where the polorisation of communities is strongest, however, I do believe we can see those actions and words as the last dying throes of an old world order that has yet to see beauty that is possible by letting go of old survival techniques. I see so much potential. But as much as I can see it, as much as I honestly believe in the power of humanity, it can only be achieved if we let go of the bullshit. Let go of defining the differences and focus on what is important.

Wow. I mean, really … wow. It’s like the Leatherman of vibes. 

It vibes, it dildos, it rims and it tickles! Flip it over to use it as a handy back massager! The comfort ring is perfect for party tricks and also contains a handy hidden bottle opener! 

How much for this purple ham pocket beater?

Well, don’t call now, because there’s more!

Poida is impressed.

Nerds.
