Urban Permaculture At Its Best

Follow Geoff Lawton as he shows us around a beautiful and amazing urban garden. An example of permaculture design is used throughout the small city patch, which feels like a mini forest as we are lead through the various areas. Each aspect of the garden has many functions. There are edible plants for the grower with zero food miles, a place to reuse waste from the kitchen by creating compost and a beautiful garden that can be seen from within the home. Featured in the well planned design is a herb garden that enables picking from any angle. There are raised pots attached to the wall, which makes use of the shadiest area of the garden while still allowing the plants to get sunlight and varying heights of plants which means no space is left unused.

Rupert Sheldrake: The Science Delusion

Rupert Sheldrake is a fascinating member of the scientific world. The video below is of his TED talk where he covers “The Science Delusion.” This TED talk was controversially banned by the TED community after being aired.
If you have studied any area of science on your own or in school, you may have noticed or have come across the fact that there are many differing beliefs in the scientific world. While this statement seems impossible given that science is supposed to be based on evidence which produces theory, it is a delusion not to realize that much of what is strictly believed in the scientific world is only believed due to the common acceptance that is put into mainstream ideas — much like what takes place within religion. That is not to say that there aren’t amazing scientists out there coming up with profound findings and adding powerful contributions to all fields, it’s to bring light to the fact that in a mainstream sense one could say science is “stuck” or more accurately put, we have put a freeze on certain areas of science.
How can science be stuck? You are missing the point of science! Science is not a thing its a method!

Rupert Sheldrake outlines 10 dogmas he has found to exist within mainstream science today. He states that when you look at each of these scientifically, you see that they are not actually true.

1. Nature is mechanical or machine like
2. All matter is unconscious
3. The laws or constants of nature are fixed
4. The total amount of matter and energy is always the same
5. Nature is purposeless
6. Biological heredity is material
7. Memories are stored inside your brain
8. Your mind is inside your head
9. Psychic phenomena like telepathy is not possible
10. Mechanistic medicine is the only kind that works
