The guest of honor this week is Alan Booker. Alan is the founder of the Institute of Integrated Regenerative Design, a cloud computing expert, herbal medicine, and integrated health practitioner.
Technology is an intentional patterning of information, material, and energy to allow an organism to successfully adapt to its surrounding environment. There are other organisms on this planet that have technologies.
Alan: The power of nature is in stillness, right? And nature is compared to peace. It’s a whole system. That's why it's so complex and beautiful.
The author was able to appreciate the power of nature early on through playing in the wild. He challenges the idea that the world has become more dangerous. Children need space to take small, managed, calculated risks, he says.
I think developmentally, there's a lot of wisdom in that approach. When I have had the opportunity to deal with indigenous people groups, this is precisely the way they train their children. It's really important to let nature of children speak through.
In terms of the ecological landscape, in terms of your observations, your primary non-intermediate experiences that you had growing up has been robbed away. Could you talk to us about some of the observed differences that really stood out versus when you're growing up versus maybe more recently now.
Alan: I've been working to create this integrated regenerative design framework. I have just started to build a Discord server because there's a lot of people wanting to have this conversation.
What are systems thinking? Why is the analogy of "nature is a machine" so wrong? what are neural networks?
The guest of honor this week is Alan Booker. Alan is the founder of the Institute of Integrated Regenerative Design, a cloud computing expert, herbal medicine, and integrated health practitioner.
Alan has deep knowledge of dynamic systems thinking, technology, neural network, and nature. He also has a holistic approach to making America sustainable again. He is the creator of the Integrated Regenerative Design framework and the Biocompatible Design standards.
We dive deep into critical thinking, the addiction science of technology, why we were all indigenous groups, the power of neural networks, and more.
With hundreds of nights spent in the field, Alan also teaches wilderness survival, tracking, bird language, primitive fire making, and wildcrafting. As a result of studying herbal medicine for nearly 20 years, Alan also emphasizes how the proper use of real food and nourishing herbs can help build a foundation for lasting health.
In short, I need Alan as my partner on any camping trip or wildness-related activities moving forward.
Some of his notable life experiences include 40 years of practicing and instructing various martial arts, being a trained classical pianist and composer, and also leading many other national cross-organizational training.
Alan Booker currently resides in Alabama, dedicating his life to reimagining the regenerative health and permaculture landscape in modern America.
