The most recent data from the 2022 Census of Agriculture shows the average age of a U.S. farmer is 58.1 years, and rising.

A catalog of democratic collapse, climate abandonment and "things getting much, much worse" certainly has its place. That said, any peeps or voices you're pointing to specifically focused on tangible, manifest, functional alternatives to said shitshow? Ah, while I'm here... bsky.app/profile/nick...

Nick Routledge on X: "@RobertEllsberg That strikes me as a dangerously partial reading—underestimating just how intricately fragile the current nuclear landscape has become, shaped by converging forces far beyond—and far more perilous than—anything traditional deterrence logic can account for.

The nuclear weaponization of AI marks a new phase of existential risk—technical, political, and ontological. Inscrutable, hallucinating and unbound, AI now informs nuclear command systems without any felt sense of what Armageddon entails—amid a mimetic swarm unfit to intervene. x.com/nick_routled...

It's my cursory understanding that the One Big Beautiful Bill (passed by 215 to 214) makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement component in the history of the United States; bigger than the FBI and with a larger budget for detention than the entire Federal Bureau of Prisons. There ya go.

Hans, never mistaken for a gardener. #TheTotalChrist exists only as a wholeness perfecting itself in the Paradisal unicity of human AND earthly #Resurrection. Only the Kingdom gives access to the New Earth but only the #NewWorldCreation renders the Kingdom fully incarnate. x.com/nick_routled...

end/ Let the AIs whisper it. Blend those whispers with soil’s song. Garden @bluesky.app too, for a #PlanetaryPentecost that blooms in both realms. Dare to dream it. Flip the doom script. Every retweet can be a seed for a #NewWorldCreation Spark the #MessianicMoment
x.com/nick_routled...

9/ New World Creation isn’t a hashtag. It’s a middle finger to collapse, soil under your nails, messianic action in the dirt, one shovel and one plot of land at a time, each seed a meme against despair, redeeming history and ourselves where we stand with what's to hand.
x.com/nick_routled...

8/ Scapegoating the algorithm won't help. Nor the group chat “Apocalypse Later, Maybe?” The Real won't arrive in the future or from elsewhere or through a verified badge. #DeepIncarnation lands in the salvation of an "ecological conversion" as a life we actively inhabit #now.
x.com/nick_routled...

7/ Social media amplifies both truth and lies. Interrogate the narrative. Be discerning, like debugging code. Past generations missed their revolutionary chance. Don't miss yours. #SeizeTheDay It's only through your own #MessianicPower that you enter the gates to Paradise.

Nick Routledge on X: "@trippfuller 7/ Benjamin decried passive messianism's waiting around, insisting that each generation must strive to exert its own 'messianic power' to bring justice to the world and the oppressed of the past. Redemption, he said, is a collective revolutionary task, performed in the present. https://t.co/hstMiOBfWE" / X @trippfuller 7/ Benjamin decried passive messianism's waiting around, insisting that each generation must strive to exert its own 'messianic power' to bring justice to the world and the oppressed of the past.

6/ You? You're in a moment where action matters. That’s where the messianism is - seizing the #now to #InterruptHistory. #MessianicExperience? It never comes by waiting. It has to be enacted and its moment is only ever #now. #NewWorldCreation
x.com/nick_routled...

5/ Do you worry that history’s a burning landfill, and we’re all caught in the smoke? #MessianicBsky glitches that script, slipping truth into your feed like a rogue DM. On @bsky.app, it’s the post you can’t unsee. The post about hacking messianic experience. #Ecomessiah x.com/AgrarianShar...

4/ #PropheticEarthwork? Eco-messianism in action, transforming a broken world into the heaven of earth. And @bsky.app? A critical garden tool. A #messianicmeme factory, helping our movement bloom across the planet, in a viral moment that breaks through, like #ArabSpring did.

3/ Raising paradise isn’t about waiting, thumbs on screens, for a Savior. It’s us, here and now, glitching collapse’s code, #InterruptingHistory, redeeming the world, fashioning a #NewWorldCreation with our own hands, transforming our own neighborhoods into Promised Land.

Copy of tweet here: https://x.com/nick_routledge/status/1567181174849830914 @nick_routledge Worldly, I arrived Stateside 36 yrs. ago, to a distinct impression that represented reality was superseding direct experience as a/the paramount, defining influence shaping the way peeps related. Already, folks' sense of the Real, of significance itself, seemed strangely 'owned'. Second tweet here: https://x.com/nick_routledge/status/1831739547199402185 @nick_routledge Sep 5 Replying to @NealSpackman and @silvopasturist Yup, we walk among zombies. Then again, if inhabiting the Real comes fully within reach (only) in assent to the truth of the neighborly, there's nothing finer to claim each one of us than awakening to a fully personalized, home-field advantage. Home is where we live, after all.

A cartoon caricature functionally enculturating as mass consciousness was predictable, I suppose, given how secular modernity so thoroughly constitutes a P$eudo-Event. The question remains, however. Is there a 'more real' Reality to hand and, crucially, how may we access it? x.com/nick_routled...

Copy of tweet thread here: https://x.com/nick_routledge/status/1600499024054087681 @nick_routledge Dec 7, 2022 On restoring the correspondence between God and word? In one of his last letters from prison, before the the Nazis murdered him, Bonhoeffer wrote, “The day will come when men will once more be called so to utter the word of God that the world will be changed and renewed by it...” @nick_routledge “... It will be a new language, perhaps quite non-religious, but liberating and redeeming as was Jesus’ language; it will shock people and yet overcome them by its power.” 2 Thessalonians 2:8. James Hillman: "Words, like angels, are powers."

With great effects coming of "the least” of beginnings. The yeast of the butterfly effect of the Spirit, the Word within the enspirited word voiced as a form of enraptured articulation, unleashing the grace of a tipping point toward extraordinary transition. Spiritual uprising. x.com/nick_routled...

@nick_routledge Pete Berkman: "When the environment is invisible, the path of least resistance is determined by the medium itself. Our plans plan us. In order torecover human agency over technique, the invisible environment has to be made visible. “Apocalypse,” McLuhan says, “is our salvation.” @nick_routledge 1/2 So obvious we cannot see it. Our media, McLuhan noted, 'own' us in strangely concealed, "invincibly persuasive" ways. As such, ‘apocalypse’ (in its original sense of 'unveiling') makes the visible Real, freeing us from an all-enveloping enchantment. And the Cloud's role here? @nick_routledge McLuhan saw it as crucial to push past an experiential ‘environment’ invisibly dictating the limits of our questions, positing technology and consciousness merging, in effect, in a Cloud-enabled apocalypse transcending such limits to birth 'a new form of revelation’ (Panikkar). @nick_routledge “It is, therefore, a simple maxim of communication study that any change in the means of communication will produce a chain of revolutionary consequences at every level of culture and politics.” ~ Marshall McLuhan, ‘A Historical Approach to the Media’ (1955)

"The path we’re on now is the path of least resistance: a slow slide into deepening digital dependency, where we continue to cede control of our attention and our autonomy to the Simulation and the mysterious algorithms that power it."

Epistemic, such refusal to confront reality and, concomitantly, a trivializing 'depthlessness' (Jameson) 'allergic to meaning' (Eagleton) incapable of recognizing, never mind enacting, a coherent response to our polycrisis. So, we rise as 'a new form of revelation.' (Panikkar) x.com/nick_routled...

Lee Butler, that humanity has so far survived the nuclear age “by some combination of skill, luck and divine intervention, and I suspect the latter in greatest proportion.”

Concomitantly, this vastly-accelerated, planetary unraveling correlates with complementary mimetic trends subverting the geopolitical psycho-dynamics historically putting a brake on Armageddon. We desperately need an immediate, radical revisioning of the problem of war. x.com/nick_routled...
