Today vs March 21 Little tangent here. Scared dogs don’t make puppies… I’ve been farming my whole life. In 2011 I lost my dad to cancer and the family looked at me to put out the crop. My dad made decisions. He was a leader. When I became responsible to seed, fertilize, spray, etc… 3,000 acres I knew I had 1 talent from when I was a kid. I have a memory like no other. I can tell you what hybrid I plant, pop, rate, day the last 14 years because I am engaged. When everyone was telling me exactly how to do things. I was more curious of what happens when I change a variable here or there. What was the elasticity of that decision or management. In weather forecasting they have a similar system that I was somewhat inspired by called ensemble forecasts where they change variables slightly and see how weather systems behave differently as time progresses. I could lean on my memory. I was bored AF quite honestly to do the same thing over and over again. What happens to corn if you skip a row or 2 or plant it thin or thick? Beans…can you broadcast them? Can you plant wheat with a shit tank? Can you run it over? When it’s 4” tall… what about 6” what about 13” Could you rotationally graze inside a cash crop and empower edge effect elasticity and fertilize simultaneously? It would drive some people crazy as they would wonder if you should plant 160,000 or 176000 beans per acre? What’s the difference…nothing. What’s the difference between 20” corn and 2040” corn? Full season likes the latter….early yields best crowded. Fuck around and Find out isn’t just some tic tok deal. It’s how you don’t become a scared dog. It calms your nerves as most people freak out about things that don’t really matter. Because they never had the balls to try anything else than what their dad did. I always felt like I needed to learn why and how things worked if I was ever going to become a better farmer. What matters are the derivatives, the 1st principles. There is a lot more we can do in production agriculture. It’s not all about winning the yield contest. Sometimes it’s about learning what you don’t need. That creates freedom.

‼️‼️🇹🇼 🇨🇳 BIG | Taiwan has successfully concluded a large-scale crisis management drill designed around a highly complex, multi-layered threat environment. The simulation tested the island's preparedness against a "worst-case scenario" involving a simultaneous Chinese naval blockade and full-scale military invasion, compounded by a major earthquake, domestic sabotage, widespread disinformation campaigns, and civil unrest. Held in Nantou County, the exercise brought together over 370 military and government officials to evaluate cross-sector operations. Key focus areas included civil-military coordination, the activation of backup command systems, food rationing protocols, counter-drone defense strategies, and emergency responses to cyberattacks on public broadcasts and critical infrastructure. The Reality of Hybrid Warfare This comprehensive drill underscores Taiwan’s realistic and forward-looking assessment of modern hybrid warfare. National security is no longer confined solely to conventional frontline combat; today, informational resilience and civilian readiness are just as critical as military hardware. By integrating a natural disaster (an earthquake) with foreign military aggression into a single training model, Taiwanese planners demonstrated a clear intent to prepare for compound crises where an adversary might exploit vulnerabilities during an ongoing domestic emergency. Ultimately, these exercises do more than just refine operational readiness—they serve as a potent strategic signal to potential aggressors, demonstrating that the island is systematically preparing for every facet of a coordinated assault.

Mexico is the home to an ancient and spectacular ceremony that still succeeds - Danza de los Voladores (game of the fliers), a ceremonial ritual dance of Mexico, with deep spiritual significance originating from Veracruz, Mexico. The tradition ultimately originating among pre-Columbian Totonac and Huastec Indians of the region now occupied by Veracruz and Puebla, where it is still danced and spread across Mexico and down as far as Nicaragua. While it is now most closely associated with Totonac peoples of Veracruz, in particular in Papantla, (hence once of its names), this intriguing danza was likely invention of Nahua, Huastecs and Otomi. The original significance of the Danza de los Voladores was, like many other Mesoamerican rituals, connected with fertility, corn, and the harvest. According to Totonac myth, the Danza de los Voladores originated as a way to appease the gods and end severe drought. This theory perhaps explains why the ritual is most closely associated with rain and solar gods such as Tlazotlteotl, Xipe and Totec, as well as notable solar events such as the Spring Equinox. The Danza de los Voladores has been significantly revived in recent years (albeit mainly for commercial purposes) and nowadays, it’s so important to the cultural heritage of Mexico that it was recognised by UNESCO in 2009. Typically, five men dressed in striking red and white outfits, bedecked with mirrored elements and rainbow headdresses representing sun and rainbows, respectively, shimmy up, as all men (voladores, or “flyers”) dance on a platform atop a pole, 30m high, before four of them proceed to tie themselves to the top of the pole with rope. The 5th member, known as Caporal, either plays the flute, bangs on a drum or sings at the top of pole. The 4 voladores (representative of the earth’s cardinal directions and elements) then launch themselves backwards from pole, beginning their elegant (but terrifying) descent towards the ground. While it may look rather ill-calculated, a total of 13 rotations are completed each totaling 52 and cleverly mirrors the years in the Aztec calendar’s ‘Century.’ At the end of the dance, they circle downward around the pole as the ropes that fasten them to it unwind. Although the modern-day performance is close to what the original iterations would have been like, there have undoubtedly been modifications throughout the years. While early versions began with the felling of a tree that would become the central pole (process known as tsakáe kiki), it’s now far more common to see permanent metal poles used instead. Furthermore, the ritual was once far more complex, involving meditation and the impersonation of birds, whereas in Nahua and Otomí cultures, there is no pre-pole climbing dance. Other iterations feature six voladores, rather than five. According to some scholars their costumes and music show Spanish influence, the dance itself survives almost exactly in its original form. The ancient agricultural fertility significance of the dance has disappeared, but there remains in the number of dancers 4 or 6, pre-Christian ritual orientation to the four points of the compass plus the zenith and the nadir. Nowadays, the Voladores de Papantla are a popular tourist attraction, with shows being performed regularly in tourist destinations across the country, such as Puerto Vallarta, Playa del Carmen, and Mexico City’s Chapultepec Park. However, there are plenty of other more off-the-beaten-path places to catch a glimpse of the famous ‘flyers, ’including at the annual Encuentro de Voladores at El Tajín, Veracruz, the historic centre de Papantla, Veracruz and Cuetzalán, Puebla. Alternatively, you can catch the Guatemalan take on Danza de los Voladores, which is known as Palo Volador in Joyabaj, Chichicastenango or Cubulco on specific days of the year. 🎥© TheGlobeWonderer (IG) #archaeohistories
