Alan Kapuler Man of Science, Ideas, and Humanity



Food Farmer Earth * Published on Jul 10, 2014

Alan Kapuler is a well-educated man, both in a formal academic sense, and also from a lifetime of hands-on work as an organic plant breeder: planting, breeding, and cataloging his vast collection of open pollinated seeds.

...is that everybody gets one of their own! So you can ''see'' or ''not see'' anything you want! Isn't that great!?

- Of course Quantum Mechanics agrees that there's no separation that actually exists, but let's not count that. It's just someone's theory.


''Every fact of science was once Damned. Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some Orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly.

The entire web of culture and progress, everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man's refusal to bow to Authority.

We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent.

As Oscar Wilde truly said, ''Disobedience was man's Original Virtue.''''

People's vision is expanding and we see another possible way of living. The Internets and social media communications has much to do with this.

There are many such people as Mr. Kapuler, dotted all over the planet. The difference is that now we have a way to see and hear them. And then add to their ideas.

And as we do, we all potentially begin to influence global outcomes simply by virtue of the possibilities we envision. The possibilities we envision are the ones most likely to occur.

Syria is a good example of people here saying NO! But they gave others the credit for it.

I know there are skeptics and that's good. No bullshit.

It renews my faith in humanity...and I think it is like that for a lot of people.

I have actually been watching a lot of you tube lately...and I would never go back to the TV...there is a lot more interesting things that I can watch.
These are the best of times, and the worst of times.
