Marketing and Sales Rock

Open Pollen Press Post 0.09

Giving this whole declining quality of life, in 21st. Century America thing a critical analysis, the data appears to indicate it’s Marketing’s onus. Well, what’s been sold was bought, so there is that. Soundbytes sell and the public buy, lacking both real information and discernment.

A population that has allowed itself to be dumbed down to soundbyte thinking, is helpless in the face of persistent, calculated, well developed marketing. Well financed hucksters scientifically play on insecurities. All it takes is to develop juicy demographic targeted hooks and repeat, repeat, repeat. Custom-fit messaging algorithms. Dope the tumbling thoughts of confusion with pharmaceutical precision. Amplify bias. Nail the sub-groups. So important. Soon the target demographics will buy that “Down is up.!” “Rudeness is righteous!” “Greed is Good!” “Down is up!” “Money makes the world go round.” “Down is up!” “Equity and equality is unfair.” “Up has no downside!” And repeat. And again. And again repeat. Soon the target will be chanting “Down with Downside!”

Fear refugees, just like Fear B. O. sells. Fear! Soundbyte smokescreens to camouflage the structural root reality that drives 21st Century environmental and socio-economic migration. Fear! Witness Earth’s most dispossessed people, (Fear!) forced from now lost homes, by the well hedged and diversified, global financial behemoth; Earth raping, war machine market. Acknowledging that reality is really scary. Old Spice cures halitosis.

Caught in the small town decline, and the fishing ain’t what it used to be; blame it on the poor slug working a shit job at the feedlot slaughterhouse spitting out that grain feed shity burger, not on agribiz plowing up the family farm from “fence post to post.” As compounding debt, global oligarchs and trust fund swells enclose up the farmlands. Small towns, like the soil, dust to the wind.

Living as a structurally displaced, in the Information age’s technological wonderland breakdown, where working people are always running, running, maybe, if lucky, keeping up with the treadmill, in the “land of the free” begets; a cognitive dissonance. Dissonance hurts the brain. Sophisticated marketing, that plays on people’s insecurities, desires and fears, provides simplistic, emotionally comforting solutions that salves and soothes the mental dissonance. Delusional comfort blankets sell.

Screw the other dispossessed other is a surefire seller, just give it a little sizzle and repeat. Divide and conquer is an ever clanging bell. Empathetic connection is the oligarchy’s greatest fear. Divisions must be marketed, rudeness and violence normalized and promoted. “Us is smart and good. Them is bad and dumb. Fear them! Screw them!”

There are those who gladly “profit”(sic) from the declining commonweal and rising division and violence, gun play and war. They’ll ply their yachts to bunkered private islands, play their gilded penthouse games and crimes. So Buy! Buy! Buy! Just zone out on T.V. and tailored feeds and scrolling and games and shit… Be sure to visit your AI therapist!…Eat food from dead soil farms. Get your processed. prepackaged, lab augmented, trick your taste buds, crappy feed. Taste the Satisfaction! Taste the Satisfaction!

Commentator pumps you up! Get your dopamine hit and be numbed and dumbed. Get Pumped! Pump Up!…WipesBrand is the softest, most absorbent a-wipe ever! You deserve the best!… Pucker Upper Lip Gloss doubles American Express reward points!… Get an AI virtual mate to fill your dreams! You’ll feel Good!… Go Nads! Go Nads!… Dig your prefab hole, coat the walls with vinyl chloride…

…Tethered to a compounding mortgage, hopin’ your 401K will last you to the grave, because deep down, you know, the kids will never be able to pay the rising rent on declining pay, and the water’s getting bad, and the weather nuts, fire and flood; having bought a mortgaged future, deferred liability, out on a broken limb, in rising winds. Sales tell you the empty bag is full. You feel great relief. Great Relief! You buy another empty bag. Great Relief!

Marketing moggles’ bosses know you and your kids will drop the coin, pull the lever, drink the swill. Buy a Brand! Buy a Brand! Any Brand. !Just Do Brand Think! !Brand Think! !Brand Think! !Brand Think!’s a Ragging Sensation! All Across the Nation! Trade in your old worn out and rusty discernment for a new shiny, big wheeled !Brand Think! Ride the Brand Wave Sensation! E-Z Off Realization! For Every Occasion! Ride the Brand Wave Sensation! !Just Do Brand Think! !Just Do Brand Think!

Soundbytes trump reality. Soundbyte. Soundbyte house of twisted mirror halls sell image fabrications without context, shroding content. Soundbyte. Anything but content and context. Don’t look too deep! Content and context awareness really messes up marketing; fucks with sales.

Garden’s Carbon Logic

Pollen Press Post 0.08

With that bright red sunrise this morning, looks rain is coming. I’m thinking this would be a good day to do a succession planting of kale, for a nice fall harvest.

While I may plant corn or kale or whatever, what I’m really cultivating is soil life. Soil life is the foundation of a garden ecosystem. Soil organisms are the foundation of all terrestrial life on earth.

Photosynthesis extracts random Carbon from the atmosphere,….soil organisms integrate that Carbon within life’s complex matrix, facilitating more photosynthesis, more Carbon extraction, more Soil Life, and on and on…Producing The richness of Fecundity. Soil Life, given the opportunity, will always trend to Biodiversity and Abundance below, in and above ground cover.

In BioRegenerative gardens randomized atmospheric Carbon is structured and ordered into a growing, complex, living matrix. So, with BioRestoritive gardening systems, while producing food, gardeners are also Biosequestering Carbon.

Carbon content is an indicator of soil fertility. The greater the Soil Carbon content the greater the Fertility. Earth’s Fertility yields abundance. Biological Abundance is wealth, for organisms living on Earth. Declines of Fertility spell hard times for the generations living in declining Biomes.

It is humans’ disruption of Earth’s Carbon Cycle (CC) that is driving weather, climate and biological systems into chaos and decline. The fossil fuel industry, by pumping into the Biosphere Carbon that was bio-sequestered in the cretaceous or before, is acting as volcanic forcing. The magnitude of the volcanic plume of randomly dispersing, previously Biosequestered Carbon, that the global oil/military/industrial/market mental complex, is chaotically dumping, is overwhelming Earth’s Life Support Systems. Simultaneously, agricultural and forestry practices that destroy Soil’s complex Carbon net, and a built environment of pavement and monoculture, and human made desertification are reducing Biosequestration. It is the combination of these human practices that has disrupted Earth’s CC.

Growing healthy soil, facilitating its development of expanding living Carbon exchange arrays that remove and structure random atmospheric Carbon, is a much more healthy, wealth generating, human relationship with Earth’s Carbon Cycle, than massive dumps of chaotic Carbon and Barren landscapes. Yet it is CC disrupting technologies, practices and infrastructure that the really big players in business, finance and government are investing in and developing. By disrupting our CC, it is Fossil Money’s engineered Chaotic Dumps to the Biosphere, and industrial scale destruction of Soil that is trending Global Warming, Poisoned Water, Refugees, Mass Extinction, ect.

Bottom line is that the wealth and abundance of a healthy Biosphere just isn’t in the timeline the Nobs of the corporate-states are funding, promoting and fabricating. It is these tycoonocrats’ Mordorian ways and means that are trending Earth’s Life Support Systems and Humanity’s Social Cohesion to chaos and collapse.

Here in the Garden the corn is just about to tassel, tomatoes are setting, echinacea is flowering and it’s time to grab a pitch fork and turn the compost.

Dig it!

Ever Wonder?

Open Pollen Press Post 0.07

Excerpt from; Earth Dank Lit

‘Ja ever wonder?
…If seagulls tell their young
Of days gone past.
When Birds were as plentiful
as stars on a clear winter night?
(Remember when the sky was clear?)

Back in the day,
By the billions and billions and billions
Birds filled the sky.
Birds of every sort.
Vast diverse winged crews thriving.
Flocks so thick;
Shadowing the ground.

A grand, concordant,
cacophony of song
Arose.
Birds aplenty.
Co-habiating a permeating fecundity.

So many now,
never more.

Look out, today,
See maybe a remnant few,
Birds on a wire.
Still hanging in there,
in this coal mine world…

Compounding reTurn, Turn, Turn…

Within Ecologies

Open Pollen Press Post 0.06

excerpt from; Earth Dank Lit

Genes exist, express and propagate within ecologies. This holds true across scales of genetic expression, whether bio-molecular, cellular, multi-cellular, ecosystem or planet. “Genes are not the unilateral “controllers” of the cell’s “mechanisms.” Rather, genes enter into a vast and as yet scarcely monitored conversation with each other and with all the other parts of the cell” ( Holdrege and Talbott),¹ the organism as a whole, and the environment.

There are innumerable feedback loops between the macroenvironment, the organism, the cell, and cell components, including DNA. An organism’s environment and its response to environment alter the organism, its descendants (epigenetics) and the environment. “(O)nce the genetic, cellular, organismic, and environmental complexities of DNA’s context-dependence are taken into account”…DNAs “read less like an instruction manual and more like poetry, in all their exquisite polysemy [multiplicity of meaning], ambiguity, and biological nuances” (Kay, Lily E.)²

The gene that thrives over time is not the one that out-competes, but rather those genetic arrays that are best able to symbiotically adapt to ever-changing stacked, multi-scaled environments. Genes gradually fit into a niche they participate in evolving. It is not the selfish gene that endures, but the genetic combinations most adept at symbiotically integrating into a dynamic ever-changing matrix. As with birds, it is the “flock,” and the totality of its symbiotic relationships, that evolves; the specie(s), and the biome. The individual is merely a mutant.

An Americana Shorty

Open Pollen Press Post 0.05

Fog and mist softens the glow of the neon sign reading American Diner, its light reflecting off the wet pavement, at the intersection of Precipice and Time. A sudden gust, a howling wind, rolls the fog and rattles the diner’s windows.

Inside, relic ‘50’s, hard backed plastic, decor. The faded formica table tops are cracked, with occasional cigarette burns from back in the day. Doo Wop is on the sound track. Harmonies and static play out a glitchy speaker. A kinda soggy bunch of patrons, like you, peruse the menu options, limited selection. Just two options; Melting Pot or Great Gumbo.

The menu reads;

“Melting Pot – A creamy, insipid dish, scum on the top, well burned, lean pleb and rendered chump, fully carbonized and crunchy, on the bottom. Comes with narss relish and addictive pizzazz additives, that leave you always wanting more.”

“Great Gumbo – A multitude of ingredients co-mingle to develop an aggregate flavor sensation more than the sum of its parts. A thick and hearty concoction. A dynamic, mash-up flavor combination blending into a satisfying and nutritious meal. *Somewhat spicy.”

Curiously, prices are not on the menu.

A beehive haired waitress’ gum cracks as she awaits your order. You hesitate. BANG! The sound of breaking glass! You startle, shake and shudder. All heads turn. A bored busboy sighs, rolls her eyes, puts her phone in her pocket, and shuffles to grab a broom…

Excerpt from; ¡Prologue! (Book Pending)

Once upon a Time, in mid 20th Century “Latin America,” there was a widespread movement to achieve literacy amongst the mass of humanity that existed as peasants. A model of widely accessible, self-directed, open education and inquiry was implemented. This was a world changing event. Historic in scope.

Underlying this movement’s praxis; consientizacao. In consientizacao literacy is understood as a tool to perceive one’s reality within a broad social, cultural, economic and political context, yielding the ability to take action to improve one’s situation. An Educational model that aimed to develop actionable contextual understanding.

Within the context of systemic poverty and exploitation, an opportunity to look up from one’s work, analyze one’s life situation, and take action. To make change. To be a creative agent within the world one inhabits and improve the quality of one’s life.

A literate peasant stands more erect; eyes not downcast. This was perceived as threat by some and much tragedy ensued as Banana Republics’ death squad gangs, in conjunction with the Dulles Brothers and Company, attempted to “disappear” and silence all suspected carriers of consientizacao; organized crime, operating from behind a wall of lucre, faux patriotism, fabricated law and neo-colonial/market ideology.

As consientizacao traveled North, across a matrix of frontiers, borders and badlands it was translated as “consciousness.” Hence, and therefor the expression “consciousness raising” that was heard at civil rights organizings, anti-war teach-ins, Black Panther mentorings, women’s gatherings and environmental meetings. Attempts to increase awareness of a context and to take action to improve an unjust situation.

Concurrently, another usage of “consciousness” prevalent in the English-speaking world was as what Aldous Huxley explored in “The Doors of Perception.” Add some Soulful Rock-n-Roll Love songs to the mix; base line, backbeat, 3,4 … North American Culture, the “American experience” irrevocably altered.

TV upgraded to color. The winds of change were blowing. Chuck Berry duck-walkin’ between the lines. The March to Montgomery. Allen Ginsberg chanting by the Bay and in the courts. Martin, Malcolm and Medgar. Baldwin, Carawac, Kesey. The Beatles. Birth control. Woodstock. Canton, Thomas Kuhn, Meldenbrant, Lasslo, Lynn Margulis, Shannon, Lovelock, Bill Mollison. Powell writes a memo. Chicago economics and police riots. Fred Hampton, Kissinger, Pinochet and Milton Friedman. George Wallace. Dick’s Southern strategy play. Hard hat riots. AIM occupies Alcatraz. Stonewall, Networking, swingers, equity flipping, herbal tea, embroidered bell-bottoms, Muhammad Ali. Some said the Pentagon was levitated, they said they saw it’s grim specter floating, a wrath untethered to the Land… Whatever.

The masters of war had to fallback, entrench and re-group. And re-group they did. What the Reverend Doctor King called out as “the giant triplets,” racism, militarism, and materialism glorified, marketed and denied. Fleeting smiles, dog whistles, and double-bind sticks, making it hard to Dream. Hard, but not impossible. Imagine… emergent backbeat resounding…cracking alienation’s spell…

We suffer from a well marketed and maintained manufactured perception of division and powerlessness; orchestrated disinformation, mis-definitions, interminable obtrusion, data mined enhanced scientific propaganda, advertising and news spinning, manipulative overt and subliminal sound bite branding, pecuniary duress occupying our time (like stressed rats in a behavioral modification maze, spin the treadmill for a piece of cheese paycheck), gerrymandered brains droning on and on, run-on crises and endless distractions, protests absorbed and neutralized, rents, war, habitat destruction and sea levels raised; compounding…

The historical vestiges of colonialism dividing and indenturing us all. On a corporate ride to nowhere. John Barleycorn’s mutant weed; poser cowboys round-upping the corn.

Frontal Lobe Mutation

Open Pollen Press Post 0.03

An Earth Dank Lit excerpt;

For Humans, as an organism, the infinitely complex matrix of relational networks that the Biosphere presents, Breathe exchange, is the basket we indwell. Fit organisms mustneeds fit in; In Gaia.
All organisms must integrate within the inherent biochemical/thermodynamic flow of the Biosphere or suffer grave consequences. Humanity exists within creation. An ongoing creative process, as in a garden. We are self-determinant produce of that garden, what with our collective frontal lobe mutation and everything.
Life, on all scales, and between scales is a process where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The Biosphere is vast networks of integrated, mutually supporting complex systems. Human built systems that mutually support each other and that integrate within the complex system matrix humanity exists within is Gaian design. Design appropriate to Earthlings.

A design paradigm of isolated gain that perceives the Biosphere solely as resource and sink has generated a dystopic wasteland of toxic air, food, water, want and war, amidst the 6th Great extinction. Infrastructure design that willfully disregards the machines thermodynamic/neg-information dumps to the Whole can only fail; dissipated by its own extreme, self non-audited, entropy dump to the Biosphere. A load compoundingly accruing.
Design is both a product of, and a shaper of culture. Culture is an emerging creative endeavor.
Integrating our technology, our inventions, within the extant, global energy flow of Earth, our home, is a significant upgrade. A refinement of our technology that plugs it into the dynamic global energy flow that has powered all living creatures since the dawn of life on Earth. An adaptive technological morph, on a planet teaming with Life.

Landscape!

O.P.P. Post 0.02 A Bit of Context on L.A. Today

Open Pollen Press Post 0.01

————————————————————————–Jack Slaggert

Landscape is the world we inhabit. Landscape is humanity’s interface with the Biosphere.

Landscape!

I have been an intermittent visitor to Ann Arbor, Michigan since the late ‘70s. While there I often enjoy a healthy, cardio pumping walk around town and campus. Back in the day there were always flocks of crows visiting central campus. This winter I saw none. Flocks of over wintering birds like sparrows and chickadees were common. Today they are rarer than rare. Without earbuds and filtering out traffic, U of M’s campus was eerily silent winter 2025.

The 2025 U.S. State of the Birds report “reveals continued widespread declines in American bird populations across all mainland and marine habitats…” (Cornell University, https://phys.org/news/2025-03-bird-populations-alarming-decline.html )

Bird populations are a good indicator of a Landscape’s health and fertility. “Birds are excellent indicators of ecosystem condition because they are responsive to environmental change, have important ecological functions – such as seed dispersal and insect consumption, and are easy to observe.” ( Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center, USGS ) “When we see declines like those outlined in the [ 2025 State of the Birds ] report, we need to remember that if conditions are not healthy for birds, they’re unlikely to be healthy for us.” (Dr. Amanda Rodewald, phys.org/news/2025-03 )

Chickadees need thousands of caterpillars to fledge. “Whether they crawl, fly, squirm, or slither, insects get the job done: They maintain healthy soil, recycle nutrients, pollinate flowers and crops, and control pests. But by the end of the century, up to 40% of the world’s insect species may go extinct owing in part to habitat loss.” (World Wildlife Magazine spring-2023 ) Biodiverse native plantings provide habitat for insects, caterpillars and multifarious organisms. With food and habitat bird populations can rebound.

Diverse native plantings develop beautiful, self-maintaining, low maintenance, scaffolding for Nature to develop locally adapted food chains. Insects and lepidoptera (butterflies are moths) are keystones in the global food chain. By providing habitat, Landscapes of Biodiverse native plantings directly intervene in the Biosphere collapse that a Landscape of insect and bird decline and die-off is. With a food supply birds, mammals, et. al. prosper.

Biodiverse, multi-tiered plantings, (ground cover, herbaceous, woody bush, short and tall trees) utilizing native plants that provide habitat for pollinators, especially lepidoptera, embedded in a landscape, will exponentially increase the Biodiversity of a microBiome. Local bird populations will rebound in a BioRestorative Landscape.

A Landscape of diverse multi-tiered plantings, that are 70% native plants, will increase the carbon capture of a place and kickstart a positive feedback process of Biospheric healing. Even one small Biodiverse native planting in an urban or suburban area can have an outsized effect. Islands of Biological coherence develop refuge for native organisms and add color and beauty to the landscape. “(T)hese designs tend to be highly engaging, as they also combine a rich palate of colors, textures, and fragrances.” (Jessa Finch, Center for the Environment, Ecological Design, and Sustainability (CEEDS), Smith College)

* https://smithceeds.wordpress.com/tag/stacking-functions/

As more and more islands of Biological coherence propagate these islands will naturally emerge as nodes in a network of coherence. Bees will tickle flowers, birds will nest and fledge. Humans will be able to Love in a landscape replete with birds and bees.

“There are four ecological functions every landscape must perform if we are to achieve a sustainable relationship with the natural world that supports us (and continuing to insist on landscapes that do not sustain mother nature is not and has never been a realistic option). It’s really very simple; our landscapes must do the things that enable ecosystems to produce the life support we and every other species requires.

Four Landscape Ecological Goals

They must support a diverse community of pollinators throughout the growing season.
They must provide energy for the local food web.
They must manage the watershed in which they lie.
They must remove carbon from the atmosphere where it is wreaking havoc on the earth’s climate.

How well a landscape accomplishes these goals depends on how well we, as landscape managers, choose and deploy the plants on our landscapes.” ( Doug Tallamy https://hgnp.wpengine.com/4-universal-landscape-goals/ )

Healthy Landscape converts random atmospheric carbon to fecund vitality (Biosequestration). Life utilizes solar energy to complexly order random atmospheric carbon through photosynthesis. Plants feed soil life. Soil Life feeds plants. Plants feed animals. Animals return to soil. It is Soil that undergirds the entire terrestrial food chain. Soil, given the opportunity, is a Living ever expanding carbon filter/sponge.

Rapidly expanding photosynthesizing activity in the built environment (multi-tiered inter-planting) with native plants, reduces atmospheric carbon, builds resilience to climate vagaries and heals the environmental collapse that insect and bird population declines are symptomatic of. Sustainability is a beautiful Landscape, host to flowers, trees, birds, bees and humans.

Increasing the Biodiversity of the biome’s flora increases the Biodiversity in the soil. The greater the Biodiversity in the soil the greater the fertility and vibrancy of the Soil and the Biome. The greater the fertility the more stable and dynamic biome and global food chains are.

As soil fertility increases more and more carbon is arrayed in an expanding soil life/plant/animal complex carbon exchange network. Landscape design can exponentially increase the biological carbon capture/fertility/Biodiversity of a place.

We have an opportunity to develop, quantify, and propagate Sustainable, BioRegenerative Landscapes, while simultaneously beautifying our built environments and reducing long term Landscape maintenance. Native plant Landscapes, once established, require little to no maintenance inputs. Anyone can develop and model Sustainable BioRegenerative Landscaping. Anywhere.

A Landscape that supports birds and pollinators has a positive effect on human neural function. Being in a Landscape of natural texture and color, populated with birds, releases endorphins, and promotes healthy synaptic activity. By developing an environment that is engaging, alienation and isolation is reduced. This can help to reduce narcissism.

Developing and implementing actions of BioRestorative Landscaping provide an opportunity for individuals, groups, and organizations to cooperatively work together with and within a biological and social matrex, further strengthening community, learning and understanding.

“eBird is an ideal tool for recording bird observations, and a link to hundreds of thousands of citizen-scientist birdwatchers who use it every day. eBird is amassing one of the largest and fastest-growing biodiversity data resources in the world through user-submitted checklists that document the presence or abundance of species on your land.” (https://www.birds.cornell.edu/landtrust/what-is-ebird/ )

BioRegenerative Landscaping provides an opportunity for broad environmental education and research. Hands-on environmental and horticultural experience is green job training and development.

Initiating plantings of native flora develop opportunities to propagate native plants as the plantings become the seed stock for further plantings. These seeds and seedlings can be used to further beautify, diversify and fecuntize more and more Landscape. In this way propagating native plants develops a BioRegenerating supply chain for Restorative Landscaping in any regional Biome on Earth.

Homo Sapiens have a choice. We can inhabit and bequeath a beautiful, rich and fertile Landscape. A Landscape that cared for, will house, feed, support and sustain all of us and our posterity. Or we can inhabit and bequeath a dystopic landscape of tainted Water, barren soil, artificially green toxic lawns and fields seeping poisons, climate havoc, mass extinctions, environmental refugees and war’s rubble.

Nurturing soil life and plants nurtures the Homo Sapien. Feel Free to critically research your native plants, soil care, and Biological Restoration. Then commence Gardening. Make the world beautiful again. You’ll Love it! Dig it!

The following links provide solid information on BioRegenerative Landscaping. Some of the information is specific to specific regions, but the principles expressed are applicable to any Biome on Earth.
