FWIW, humans were created to walk and not fly. yet we chose to break that cycle for reasons we ALL now take for granted. Just because nobody can produce better than DBHB, doesn't mean nobody should ever try.
We should definitely try! All the time. The Best Has Yet to Be Grown!
But.....just for the sake of excellent discussion.....humans have never flown. Airplanes fly, but not people. At best, we can glide with special suits, like a Sugar Glider. Sadly, actual flight is still impossible.
Geese fly long distances. Arctic Terns fly from Greenland to Antarctica every year! They do this without creating pollution of any kind.
Humans can also "fly" from Greenland to Antarctica, but it requires mining, metal fabrication, pumping and refining of "fossil fuels", GPS (so they don't get lost), batteries, plastics, horrible food and all kinds of other stuff.
The energy it takes for humans to "fly" in airplanes isn't to be compared to the energy required for a bird to fly the same distance with only its feathers and foraged food.
Plus, airplanes pollute when they fly and die.....while birds fertilize the soil.
While I appreciate the spirit of always trying to do better, I reject the "if man wasn't meant to fly" philosophy. That type of thinking was first introduced into the collective psyche in order to get people to think that Formula is better than Breast Milk, processed vitaminized foods are better than fresh produce, a paved parking lot is better than left-alone open space, etc.
So, what do Humans do better than birds? Certainly not fly!
But we excel at CULTIVATION.
No other species can cultivate crops like we do. Indeed, other species can help humans cultivate, but without human will and knowledge nothing happens.
High Brix gardening----Ontologically speaking----is nothing more than Human Beings doing what they do best, just like birds do what they're best at by flying.
If we humans stopped trying to kill everyone/everything (another thing we're really good at) and started CULTIVATING in earnest, using biological methods that remediate and improve the soil and nutrition of the crops, which in turn improve our brains and bodies.....there's no telling what good things we could accomplish.
While hydroponics is interesting and useful at times.....just like airplanes.....when you look at it Ontologically it doesn't make as much sense as using the soil.
Afterall, that's what every other species relies on. Birds don't make bird seed......Bears don't make pizza and corn dogs.....even though both will eat them to their own demise.
The laws and functions of nature are where we should be focusing our intellect. We need to literally cultivate those principles instead of trying to break them or make them do something they're not supposed to do, IE mass murder.
This probably doesn't make any sense......
