The Saying NO debate | Chris Smaje
On this page I keep a running brief of debates, commentaries and links associated with my book Saying NO to a Farm-Free Future that go beyond the straightforward reviews you’ll find on the book page. ...
I showed his energy figures for bacterial food were wrong & the tech wouldn't scale, then laid out the basis for agrarian localism. He ducked the energy issue & wrote a snarky essay likening me to the Nazis. 'Open-hearted, receptive to evidence' - don't think so! See chrissmaje.com/the-saying-n...

Thoroughly enjoyed "Finding Lights in a Dark Age" by @chrissmaje.bsky.social, which for unknown reasons arrived with me before the official launch date. I might try to write a longer review at some point, but not tonight.

I should have mentioned in my previous post that the Barnes & Noble preorder offer for my book applies in the US only. Today is the last day of the offer!

Looking forward to talking about #DarkAgeLight & #FoodSecurity @ #GlastonburySpeakersForum #Glastonbury2025. The last chapter of my forthcoming book involves a fictional walk to Glastonbury, so I decided to walk there for real😀 Maybe I'll post as I go!
