Surely, that title MUST be a joke!? Bad clickbait, right? Nope - I mean it!
It's the not-so-grim realization most people have never had. It is a fast-forwarding to the future us, after we have realized that we all have lived under one of the greatest unmentioned taboos and secrets of our age unknowingly: Our shit does have its rightful place somewhere! And I dare say: that realization has been stolen from us with a lot of effort.
You may feel like running away but I'm telling you: There is a reason nobody ever talks about their poo. Or other people's. Or what we as society do with it. And why. Because it's absolutely insane once you know, especially in light of the beckoning solution which this series will be all about.
"What will learning about poo get me" you might ask?
It is a most fertile topic that will lead straight to your sovereignty, abundance, insight, spiritual connection and ultimately: true freedom. Leaving another mental prison we didn't know we were jailed in, and marveling in the process about all the things we never really considered.
If you are still here, awesome!
Welcome to one of the few true solutions we human beings in 2024 have access to, no matter what we believe, how much money we have or where we come from.
Alright, alright! Get to the point already, what's this about poo?
Certainly!
You see one of the most taken-for-granted things we do in our era and current paradigm is using a water-based toilet.
Pretty much anybody in the Western world who isn't a mad camper, homesteader (or van-lifer ahaha) takes it as a GIVEN that pooping in fresh water is how "that business" should be handled.
And we can already sense our own upbringing here: we give "it" all sorts of weird names and euphemisms in order to avoid talking about the activity every human being does on a more or less daily basis - Unless you don't eat of course, in which case this series will be a complete waste of your time. Stop reading now!
Where was I? YES!!!!! The daily session(s) on a Western toilet!
5-6 gallons of fresh water are used in order to "get rid" of our dietary remains, several times a day. Multiply that with the number of people residing in the US alone and it will start to dawn on you that the amount of freshwater wasted daily on Earth for flushing our "waste" is astronomical.
What we are in fact doing is polluting our own drinking water. Not even animals do that, humans on the other hand call it "normal" because we largely never considered any alternative, nor do we want to hear about anything poo-related for the most part.
The main issue with this modern way of handling our refuse is that it is completely and utterly unnecessary, wasteful, and harmful to us and nature in its implications and effects. It should be at the forefront of any human rights-, climate protection- and freedom activism group out there.
The fact that it isn't should tell you there may be something important here to uncover...
Ok, so we waste a lot of water... Big deal.
No! That is not the thing that got me most! The thing that got me most is that we can use our human manure... as manure!
Wait what?
YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT. There is a great Oppootunity here!
Humanure is a thing. And if managed correctly it is a very valuable resource that can do legendary things for us, nature and life on Earth.
But unless you have adamant hippie friends or been around permaculture nerds long enough, I bet the concept that it would be A GOOD IDEA to not only collect but also willfully recycle our own "waste" in a smart way... is new to you.
Sure people's uncles go huntin' in the woods and have used self-build outhouses, or pit lantrines, or dug trenches. That is not what I am talking about at all!
I am talking about composting human waste in a safe, efficient and beneficial manner that will not only eliminate all the countless environmental problems the current water-based sewage system nightmare brings (as you will learn in this series)...
Composting humanure can also break our dependency on industry poisons and financial strangleholds, it can free us from the shackles of relying on external services. It can help us grow the most nutrient-dense food known to man and ultimately help us restore the broken human nutrient cycle to its original (and nature-intended) way.
Sound too good to be true?
Has the dude completely lost his mind in his Hive absence?
I applaud your discernment but NO SIR!
I feel better than ever knowing there is a no bullshit (hehe) way forward for those brave enough to break the brainwashing spell of our era and try something so natural, it has to be considered radical today.
A dude has written a great book on this topic, and in reading through that book again recently the full scope and ramifications of the subject in question have finally and utterly hit me. And so of course I will have to write a series about it on Hive, which this is the preface to.
You will lose part of your innocence. Once you have seen it it can't ever be unseen - as is the nature with increasing awareness. And I tell you it is worth it! Especially if you have access to a garden of any sort.
The "humanure handbook" will tell you about the horrendous way we as a society deal with human waste today... it will show you why the stigma around human waste composting exists and how it is ultimately nothing more than control structure propaganda to keep us in mental chains with no factual backing to it whatsoever... instead what we all take for granted today is nothing more than a lot of superstitious hocus pocus we all took as "credible science" in blind faith.
The humanure handbook (and thus this series) will also do one other thing: they will set you free. It is such a relief to learn that the alternative to what we all know and do everyday is really quite simple, non-stinky, ecologically sound, utterly logical, provably safe and spiritually rewarding.
Composting humanure costs nothing and can - in fact - yield some massive actual APR - gains you will keep even when the power goes out and the internet is turned off!
I hope you are as excited as I am, 'cause damn I'm excited! To take those ideas and spread them far and wide...
