The name of this group is my briefest description of the discipline/practice.

"For Nietzsche, no value is permanent.  Each person and each society must create values that affirm life.  We are in the constant process of transvaluing.  Transvaluing does not end after the Judeo-Christian value system has finally been displaced by a world-affirming value system.  When any value system fails to affirm life, it must be supplanted by values that affirm life.

For Nietzsche, transvaluation is integral for the affirmation of life.  For Nietzsche, affirmation of life is the highest value; nowhere do I find him saying anything to the contrary."

George David Miller, Negotiating Toward Truth: The Extinction of Teachers and Students (1998)

What are some ways that the Occupy Movement might model these principles?

I'm wondering how permaculture can exist in overpopulated areas such as inner cities.  And what does permaculture suggest that we do with all of the agri-businesses that now own so much of the land.  Does it address that?

Gail and those with the same curiosity can start with the presentation by Janis Birkeland, which is the last item in the Learning Resources section.  That said, any urban projects that increase photosynthesis and utilization or penetration of precipitation are (more) life affirming.  So, planting as possible and de-paving to increase the possibilities are big first steps.

A pertinent comment I posted today.
