Well said. I would love to see more community driven projects. Eg food farms and gardens, or clinics that run as cooperatives or even simply a return to a small business economy. The issue is getting away from this top down centralized hierarchy. These only historically fail. Empires collapse as entropy is inevitable. Eventually more energy and resources are required to maintain the systems than can be produced and so poof, they dissolve. Not once, not twice, not three times but always eventually it occurs. Perpetual energy continues to escape us.
Just like our bodies must balance everything, eg homeostasis. We too would likely better manage resources if we returned to smaller units, villages, tribes. Neo-tribalism.
Doc, a little unrelated to the subject you posted on but could I share with you, a theory?
I have CFS/M.E which has been the bane of my existence for the last 8 years or so. Before this I was very fit, loved adventure activities, hiking, spearfishing and boxing too. I was a special operations medic. Now I am tired and struggle to do daily tai chi at times. Have to work part time. Quite a change!
As my condition is a mystery condition with no known or established cause or pathophysiology I had been following the science relating to CFS/M.E for quite some time. Where information was scarce, I looked at what I thought could be similar conditions to see if answers existed there.
*Gulf war syndrome
*Fibromyalgia
*Chronic lyme
*Post polio syndrome
*Long covid
*Post vaccine long haul syndrome.
The last two appeared on the radar only recently.
I have long suspected mitochondrial damage could be the root cause of these conditions. All of which show some evidence to support this. Obviously each condition varied slightly as each has different triggers and thus toxicity occurs in differing tissues within the body. Thus they're similar but not the same.
Then recently DrBeen spoke on his YouTube channel about studies and evidence of Spike protein destroying mitochondria.
Also Dr Bruce Patterson who studies long-covid has been doing a lot of work with cytokine mapping technology which show subtle differences and similarities to this family of conditions.
When we talk about mutagens and genotoxicity we typically refer to changing or damage to the cells DNA. But why not mitochondrial DNA too?

I agree - when each of us makes an effort to start or engage with community level projects, we move toward making centralized power irrelevant.

Mitochondrial health is a big factor in the conditions you mention (along with any chronic medical condition). So it's worth focusing on interventions to boost mito function.
