Learn to Sing Every Song

When I am a hundred I hope to pass on the wisdom of the Beymun people of central Africa. They are a small people who need to find wives from surrounding peoples. The men do this by learning to sing the songs of he nations around them and pride themselves on being able to sing them better than the natives.

Lean to sing every song, make endless friends.

The valley of the Mayo River was isolated from the rest of the country until the 1970s, when construction of the Carretera Marginal trunk road gave access. A wave of spontaneous settlers from the highlands and the coast then came into the valley, increasing the population five-fold. Under such a dramatic event, the Aguarunas became a disadvantaged minority in their own…

Some food insecurity is man-made and intentional - Gaza

Don't mean to get too political but I think it worthwhile to note that the manipulation of food/hunger is a time-tested tool of the powerful.


This food crisis requires no new tech, only a renewed political commitment to make the evildoers stop.
