If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

I'm going to be blunt here, but I agree with lonesagi and others. Justin, you do yourself no service by advertising so much. At best, it makes you look like a RW. Just do what you do to further the movement, and exo-promotion will come right along. No need to plaster your name everywhere you are. O...

This criticism sounds like it only applies to modern cattle ranching, though. I'd assume pastoralists already know how to keep a close eye on their cattle and move it if the grass gets depleted- I'm not sure exactly how the Savory method is a big improvement to what they're already doing. Pastorali...

Also... if the idea is to outlaw knives in public to prevent mugging, why not go one step further and outlaw lighters and matches to prevent arson?

DDT From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia When it was first introduced in World War II, DDT was very effective in reducing malaria morbidity and mortality.[21] The WHO's anti-malaria campaign, which consisted mostly of spraying DDT, was initially very successful as well. For example, in Sri Lanka, ...

I did some googling yesterday and found the following .pdf that was produced in conjunction with the Savory Institute.

Something about how DDT did NOT lead to the thinning of eggshells as they suspected. I don't think that has been shown.

A question about Allan Savory's talk: Most of you are too young to remember 1950's Westerns, but that is where I learned the difference between sheep and cattle grazing (both of which were shown in the TED piece). Cattle have incisors; horses, sheep and goats have incisors and molars. The latter ca...
