DPF #294- December 12- Bypass whatever you can in the Mainstream
The mainstream modern society is full of destructive forces (profiteering the biggest) which forces governments to restrict the activities of ordinary individuals and small companies/NPOs due to the tendency to fall into the societal drain towards which businesses and individuals tend to sway- self-interest, unfair practices, price-gauging, harming the environment, etc. Due to this unfortunate … Continue reading DPF #294- December 12- Bypass whatever you can in the Mainstream

We all have a certain amount of acceptance, but rare is the person that completely accepts themselves and their surroundings.

DPF #176- August 15- Rely not on status quo and conventional approach for your guidance and solutions
If you want to achieve anything special and truly innovative, you cannot rely on the established entities for guidance, support, and solutions. They are dangerous in fact, while likely aiming to be helpful. The danger is in perpetuating what is conventional, and established- such as fumigating soil with toxic chemicals (as is the "conventional approach" … Continue reading DPF #176- August 15- Rely not on status quo and conventional approach for your guidance and solutions
