Daaaaaang, lol.
I believe there's been recent discoveries regarding the Rapa Nui history, but I know little about it. I also know little about the chemicals vs. rod weeders situation, but I get your overall points regardless.
I've never worked on an organic seed farm but... wow. Pretty eye-opening stuff.
Anyway, I generally agree with embracing change, and that the planet's resilience is often overlooked and downplayed.
I could definitely see this going over well at parties, lol.
LOL. I usually keep it to myself. And with the Rapa Nui, they believe, in order to position those Easter Island head monument things, they chopped down all the trees. Then didn't even have wood to make boats, couldn't fish, things like that. Basically stripped the island clean of resources. Then couldn't even leave.
Likely prudently so, lol. 🤣
That sounded pretty extreme, so I googled around a bit to read more of the story and found this: https://www.sapiens.org/archaeology/easter-island-demise/ -- they offer an alternative narrative, any thoughts?
Regardless, I'm glad to dip my toe into the waters and learn a bit more about it, and whether all the details are correct or not, the concepts behind it seem relevant. Much obliged for summarizing. 🙏
Well. I guess that's just another example of how information evolves. I'm sure the researchers initially coming up with theories had good intentions. For the most part, we can still only guess. I can't help it if one human says one thing, sounds convincing, and other humans say something else, as well as sound convincing.
Knowing more is always nice.
Well said, and I whole-heartedly agree. 🙃
