It is an old-fashioned term made popular by the Earth First! folk in the 70s. It means stopping something industrial or mechanical from working, wrecking it as much as possible relative to the difficulty and time it takes to achieve. Think putting something in a gas tank… Or undoing some…

Things That Smell Terrible
A non-violent way to ruin the day for an evil corporation? Animal Lures – they are typically sourced from animal glands, and the natural substance, by definition, lingers and can be smelled for miles by animals. Comes in a bottle, and is colourless (?) so just spray it somewhere and…
Riots Redirected
Riots are uncommon and common. The is certainly enough of them for the authorities to be scared – around the world what is allowed in protests is being restricted. Meanwhile movements like Extinction Rebellion make gallahs of themselves and not much else. Grandstanding. What if the two could combine to…
Locations vs Food + Clothing + Shelter
Pre-civilisation humans expanded into most corners, troughs and heights of the world, showing a remarkable versatility and tenacity. So when we discuss rewilding us, in theory anywhere will do. But in does days life was typically arduous and full of suffering and cul-de-sacs where we didn’t last. The modern human…
Human Sanctuary Location Proposals
I asked AI and the answer was quite good. In terms of food resources, the most bountiful places on Earth are generally found in regions with favorable climate conditions, fertile soil, and abundant water resources. Here are some of the most productive areas: Tropical Rainforests Tropical rainforests are incredibly bountiful…
Human Preservation Sanctuary
The concept is simple. Think about a time in the distant future, when humans (for whatever reason) might be struggling to survive, just like any endangered species today. And today, design a habitat for them to survive and prosper in, to reproduce and stay as a viable species. To survive…
AI and Prosperity
AI uses a massive amount of electricity, and like Bitcoin is a crazy thing for humans to be doing when we are battling climate change. There are only two reasons for AI that I know of – health and prosperity. I an of course okay with the health angle. Using…
Everything Loses (except us)
Humans love progress, and are proud of the progress we make. But for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. What that means in terms of our progress is that literally every animal, vegetable and mineral on Earth suffers in reaction. The hubris we have is undeniable, although…
Human Evolution and the Biosphere
In a general sense, biospheres are any closed, self-regulating systems containing ecosystems. Planet Earth’s biosphere is considered closed, although it does receive energy from the Sun, and some space dust enters our atmosphere, as well as the odd meteorite. Those externalities apply to all biospheres, and life cannot live without…
WikiBrag, or a better name
WikiLeaks serves a very specific purpose, and a similar site would be useful to catalog all the actions taken during a three-generation effort to rewild humans. It would be a bit like when terror groups claim responsibility for something, except often the actions would be too small for the mainstream…
