005 - Paul Wheaton: Building a Better World One Permaculture Brick At A Time

'Building a better world, one permaculture brick at a time.'

The full and complete audio from Paul Wheaton's standing ovation keynote presentation at the Southern California Permaculture Convergence on March 9, 2013 in San Diego, CA.

"Most folks that want change tell a dozen people how bad people should stop being bad. Over a ten year span of time, they may have told 100 people about which bad people to be angry at.

I believe that conflict come from difference of knowledge set.

I play the long game: hundreds of tidbits of knowledge spread out over many years

If I say “permaculture” after each tidbit, then eventually a person might think “I keep hearing this word associated with cool things” and then search for more permaculture stuff on their own.

This is my strategy for world domination." Paul Wheaton

Paul presents 72 different permaculture based strategies for changing the world. Some of these strategies are big and some are small. Some can be done very quickly, some will require a significant amount of time. Odds are that some of the permaculture strategies will resonate with everyone. If each person just does a few of them, then we are all changing the world. "Rather than being angry at bad guys, I want to share a thousand bricks for building a better world." Paul Wheaton
