|| Welcome to the SuperForest! Help is on the way!! ||

In our last episode, we looked into the archives for a photo and interview with Graham Nash.   Now we meet his son, Jackson Nash, the godfather of Superforest .

Jackson noodles around on the guitar in Mr. Bonzai's world headquarters.

Here is the credo from the horses’s mouth: “Before we can set about elevating our present society from a carbon-based one to a solar-electric one, knowing full well that solar-electric decentralized power means a higher quality of life for all, we must first pause and ask ourselves: Why? What is worth saving?”

Keiko has translated the SuperForest Humanifesto into Japanese.

Jackson, a clever chess player and flambuoyant man 0’ the world, has been joining us up here in the Hills to discuss and develop his concept of:

The Three P’s – Patronage, Permaculture, and Positivism

“I feel that the answer lies in the way humans view the world. If you see the Earth as a rich place, full of abundance and life, with resources enough for all, in perpetuity, you are subscribing to the ‘Abundance model.’ On the other hand, if you see the world as a violent and brutish place, where needless destruction is the norm, and there will always be strife because there aren’t enough resources to go around, then you’re subscribing to the ‘Scarcity model.’

We are recording these encounters on my new and superb Sony PCM-M10 (pictured here), which comes in a stylish burgundy. It’s stereo, it’s handy, it is a marvel of space age compact quality.

Jackson tests out my new Monster Turbine Pro Copper In-Ear Speakers. Another astounding new product, one which reveals such clarity and transparency that you might want to reconsider the lo-fi sources you may be listening to.

If you see the world as a place of rich abundance, chances are you are going to be happy, content, peaceful, settled, neighborly, polite, and generous, because you believe that there is enough to provide for all, and that this energy will return to you if you send it out into the world.

The scarcity model is sadly what our present culture is based on. Don’t believe me? Turn on the television. There you see the Scarcity model in all its glory.

So how do we elevate the 6.8 billion humans from the Scarcity model to the Abundance model?”

We are documenting these meetings, and will share the evolution with you fellow human beans. Meanwhile, Jackson is about to venture forth to Hawaii, where he hopes to create within 3 years a totally self-sufficient 2 acre parcel filled with food and power and art.  We wish him the best, for our own good!
