Tyrannical Tangents:

I may be looking for a practice that regards terrorism like biodynamics regards wide-scale agriculture. Biodynamics began as a theory by Dr. Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian scientist in the early to mid 1900′s as a reproach to industrialized agriculture.

While industrialized agriculture satisfies a human race well-endowed in number it is an inefficient way of farming for nourishment. His theoretical bedrock came not from full bellies, but from the malnourished and exploited condition of the soil; a reality that effects the quality of the soil adversely and results in a sterile produce. In other words, industrialized agriculture fills the stomach but requires you receive nutrients elsewhere. The practice he incurred employs earthly and cosmic forces in the correlative relationship that both forces enjoy, but in which the human race stopped using–and, Dr. Steiner retorts, much to their disadvantage. And why? Why should we extort resources and time into a food that only satisfies hunger? Our food should be exemplary and imbue the precious mineral of ‘invested time’.

On this course, my exploration would persist on an analogy: Counter-terrorism is to Terrorism what Industrialized Agriculture is to Food. I am not quick to suggest that we cannot stretch sustainable agriculture to fill the mouths currently feeding off industrialized farms, but in order for such stretch to be successful new eating habits may be required (with consideration to the idea that obesity is as inefficient and harmful to the body as the farming practice that allows it). The innovation and research of food, terrorism, and numerous other age-old suchities have coursed through the minds and fingers of many akin. However, it is not my intention to insist upon the forfeiture of 'Big Macs'. NAY, heed caution! I would like to learn from the biodynamic theories and practices on the vineyard and the success it maintains in its mission to restore nutrient-starved food, and apply the methodology to engaging more efficient ways of countering terror.

On a side note, I would like to further my project with the such vulgar homologies as "Old World" and "New World" as they regard the political atmosphere of both viticulture and terror. As well as how geography intersects at strategy and character.

But more on that later. Rest your eyes. I suggest cucumbers.
