  "map_content": "We have created a backyard earthen sleeping pod in a way that is pleasing to the soul. The structure provides us with most of the things that traditional shelter was designed to do without many of the social, emotional, environmental or financial costs that modern industry comes with. The process we used was much more like that of a cultural community arts project than a construction industry project. It was mostly all done with bare feet, live musicians, many children, even toddlers and with a food sharing element. The structure was hand-sculpted from earth excavated locally and mixed by many bare feet at musical mudstomp events, (where music fuels the mixing of mud by bare-feet to make it into a dance)\u00a0\u00a0and so it has a high ratio of positive memories per square feet of construction. It\u2019s a small space with a high ratio of walls to openings, big fat walls (up to a metre atively small openings which makes it feel cosy inside. \u201cThe cosiness factor\u201d is a term I created to name the simple but powerful blend of comfort, protection and freedom inherent in traditional shelter that is most often missing from the modern dream home concept.\u00a0\u201cThe cosiness factor\u201d is also\u00a0a feeling\u00a0which speaks to our inner child, that we all instinctively know and can recognise immediately.\r\nWood-fired cooking and heating appliances have been added to our\u00a0\u00a0sleeping pod cubby to take advantage of all the abundant fuel that falls down from the trees in the surrounding bush.\u00a0We also added a composting flush toilet, gas heated shower and outdoor kitchen fed by a rainwater tank) In addition to protecting us very well from the natural elements, this structure provides protection from the \u201cunnatural elements\u201d meaning that it is free of debt and bills. The closest thing to a bill is changing over the gas bottle for the hot water shower and the only thing like a debt is the feeling of gratitude to all who helped make its creation happen, especially the children, family, friends and others who showed up, The closest thing to debt is a sense of obligation to continue sharing what I have learned, which feels like an honour. Spending time in this structure has given me a feeling and a power which (besides the relaxation and rejuvenation from sleeping behind walls that have a healthy charge from the earth free from EMFs VOCs and bills) I couldn\u2019t quite put my finger on, but my recent revelation has given me more insight. \r\nThis revelation touches on a few angles to this project - mainly some powerful financial mathematics (which bolsters all the touchy feely stuff) that might get you to consider doing something similar.",

Also what more about Mud Fun /me would you like to know.  I have lots to say. As far as your dream to build a hobbity earthen house since you were a child - tell me more - where did this originate?  What steps have you taken? I  think I can help you make that dream happen. It involves building a small scale model first around a table - using all the same ingredients, formulas and considerations as doing it in LifeSize. That\u2019s how I learned and it was life changing. As far as the lifesized structure, do u have any backyard space in your family somewhere?",

I think it\u2019s super cool, as a cross between X and Reddit, with a far superior threading system. The sats that are locked against your message write it to the BSV blockchain and act as an upvote to your message. The sats will be returned to my wallet after 100 blocks. It\u2019s a way of signalling value for information, so it\u2019s me saying I think this information has value. The more people add sats, the higher your message rises and the more findable it becomes (is that right metamitya?). All the threads are part of the shared interface, so unless you specify your post as private, anyone and everyone can see it.",

I live in the UK and many of our oldest buildings are built of a wooden frame and wattle and daub in between - willow branches, straw and mud and animal dung. So over here we have a lot of 500-1000 year old buildings using this method. I love how it simplifies the building process, but also keeps the inside either warm or cool, depending on the weather. I also love how organic the buildings look and how it expands the possibilities as far as your imagination can go. Would love to hear more of your insights about it. How practical is it. How legal is it? How resilient, etc. Here\u2019s my local wattle and daub pub The Old Hall from the 1600s.",

  "map_content": "This is my second attempt to reply and post - I typed up a big long response and lost it before hitting send. Then\u00a0\u00a0I typed it up as notes elsewhere to copy and paste over to treechat, and did that, but now cannot see my response anywhere so here\u2019s a second (re-edited) attempt to copy and paste this to you.\u00a0\r\n\r\n\u00a0I feel good to be talking to you, as someone who knows more about treechat than me because even though I\u2019m not part of crypto (except for learning about it, if that counts) I hold great promise for it and that\u2019s partly why I\u2019m here. This feels like the right place to learn more and take part, so thanks.\u00a0\u00a0I relate to the idea of valuing information and communication which ties into being heard and understood. Having this conversation with you in this space shows great possibilities for all that.\u00a0\u00a0Thanks for sharing those pics and links to your pub, community and heritage. I am itching to meander off topic (treechat and earthen shelter) and say something on my mind that relates to those underground tunnels and those old poetic riddles but first I want to say that I see you already know so much about the topic of traditional earthen shelter. You know how durable these structures are and you know they are beautiful. You can feel the artisanship and craftsmanship in them and appreciate them.\u00a0\u00a0You know about the ingredients of the recipes and I\u2019m assuming you might have ancestral ties to those who participated in their creation.\u00a0\u00a0So you already know lots. In order to help bring you closer to your dream of building and sculpting a cosy little place to recharge in, I would like to guide you through the process of building a small scale model to rekindle your instincts, and re-familiarise\u00a0\u00a0yourself with the ingredients, recipes, methods and considerations for building in life size.\u00a0\u00a0It starts with playing with a bucket of subsoil either dug up yourself or intercepted from someone else\u2019s excavation.\u00a0\r\n\r\nI say rekindle and re-familiarise because the knowledge is in our DNA awaiting to be awoken. When I first went to teach this at a preschool, during the intro, a little boy said he already knew this and I asked him who he learned it from and he said he taught himself and then I realised the same was true for me. My brother and I and others used to go down to the creek and make \u201cmud pies\u201d to dry on the rock without adult guidance and it was decades later that I found out what mud play really means and perhaps part of why children are instinctively drawn to it - to activate superior shelter creation knowledge!\u00a0\u00a0It starts with playing with some subsoil and water to make mud.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You may know that the walls of the old homes in the Devon UK area are all earth with the white limestone render and they are all worth a lot because they hold heritage value. Wood is only used for windows, doors, roof and furniture.\u00a0\u00a0To answer your question about practicality i would say if you think small - as in, \u201cless is more,\u201d you will address this issue and achieve the delight of the \u201ccosiness factor\u201d which depends on a smaller space.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In terms of legitimacy - the word \u201cheritage\u201d says it all, and I have concluded that industry (especially in its modern form) is the wrong (relatively new) vehicle for satisfying our shelter needs. Start with heritage and then go deeper down to instincts.\u00a0\u00a0Heritage by itself is not sufficient as it now intersects with industry which hinders it.\u00a0\r\n\r\nFor example, your appreciation of coziness is honouring your gut instincts which is the higher authority. In order to create a cosy superior shelter space that nurtures you and protects your inner child and\u00a0\u00a0use a process that pleases your soul, you are best to follow the basic set of human values that you were born with, and which modern industry is at odds with. People naturally like to give to one another because it makes us feel good because at some level we see each other as a part of ourself, a part of our humanity.\u00a0\u00a0And invoking the innate spirit of generosity is the key to creating shelter that provides protection, security and freedom as it was originally intended to do. Not just protection from the natural elements but also the unnatural element of debt.\u00a0\r\n\r\nBut industry is very different. It sees us as consumers -something outside of itself to be preyed upon.\u00a0\r\n\r\nIf you were to say, \u201cPlanned obsolescence eat your heart out!\u201d while flashing a sarcastic toothy grin, right at the moment when your new (expensive) house shows signs of falling apart already, while you are simultaneously realising that your rent or mortgage payments are too high, taking away too much of your time and energy, and that your shelter payments are indirectly being used (via the legacy banking system) to fund wars and activities that are not aligned to your values, then such an existential-angst-fuelled statement would sum up your relationship to the voracious appetite of Industry.\u00a0\u00a0In other words it would be a wake up call to say that when looking for the right vehicle to provide something as tender as a place to lay your head and recharge, we need to look beyond industry, the well dressed but relatively new kid on the block of providers.\u00a0\r\n\r\nThe paradox I guess is that it takes being here at this juncture to be able to value this conversation and so perfect timing eh?\u00a0\u00a0\r\n\r\nTell me more about why you sent me the links to those tunnels and how you relate to the word \u201cdruids\u201d which is contained in the poetry.\u00a0\u00a0And tell me more about how you were able to lock Satoshis to my post, how did you determine the right amount, what are the risks and rewards for doing that, what other wallets or apps you use to do this, how else you are using cryptos, and what brought you here 2 years ago.",

Much respect to you for completing the task of completing a book and putting it out there. What\u2019s your book about? And much respect for being an early adopter of crypto. I also knew it was good early in but lacked the follow through. I was waiting for someone else to show me how. Mistake. How has crypto changed your life? Thanks for sharing your childhood stories - wow - how great. Priceless. Your mountain looks beautiful in the clouds. Is that animation made from video? Your story reminds me that we are born with lots of love and creativity and imagination as well as all the food and shelter we need. It\u2019s not at all as Maslows theory suggests that you only earn love and art once you slog it out and secure food and shelter first. The spirit of generosity pays forward everything first.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019ve got a busy day so I\u2019ll cut this short but I just wanna say that my meditation teacher has a 5 star darkroom meditation chamber to recreate the environment of the ancient catacombs and caves used for tapping into the inner light and accessing the heavenly energies - from a position of being grounded and free from the distractions of light, sight, sound and worldly obligations etc. Nothing to do but relax and let go. Recreating a womb space\u00a0\u00a0in which to be nurtured and recharged. Over the years I\u2019ve held my own makeshift darkroom retreats - completely devoid of light and they have been the most restful and rejuvenating experiences - leaning on friends and family to hold space and bring me food through a light proof shutter.\u00a0\u00a0I just booked to attend the darkroom retreat next year and be pampered.\u00a0\r\n\r\nDarkroom Retreat 2024 : In-Depth Taoist Practices. | Mantak Chia",
