From the Lunatic: Feed the Animals Anyway

November 2, 2026. This is a piece of Ranting with a Lunatic, and here is the setup. Yesterday afternoon the desk work was still running hot. Hashes to sort out, rooms to fix, a whole list of machine problems stacked up on the screen. Outside, it was raining, it was getting late, and none of that changed the one job that does not move. Here it is, in my own words, from November 1, 2026.

"I need to feed the animals. It's late, but it's raining. I'm I'm going to have to feed the dogs I think and the goats. I don't know it's raining I might wait a few minutes"

That is a man negotiating, and the animals were not part of the negotiation. A few minutes later the desk got handed back to the machine, and the matter settled itself in one short line.

"Alright buddy, you hash that out. I'm going to go feed the animals."

That is the whole snippet, and it is the whole homestead philosophy in two breaths. The rain is real. The lateness is real. The wish to wait a few minutes is real too, and I said it out loud instead of pretending otherwise. Then the job won anyway, the way it wins every day, because dogs and goats do not run on my schedule and they do not care what is happening on a screen indoors.

People ask how the book work and the site work and everything else fits around a farm. It does not fit around the farm. The farm comes first, on a timer nobody here set, and everything else fits around the feeding. That order is not a burden. It is the thing that keeps a man honest about which work can wait and which work cannot.

That is also how Ranting with a Lunatic gets built. I talk, the words go down the way I said them, and a small decision at the fence line in the rain turns out to say more than a long explanation would.

Now the standing invitation. Ask your questions in the comments, the ones you would like my answers to. Real questions get answered here on the blog, and the best of them may end up in the book. The Rookbook is part of that same invitation, where the other side of this conversation keeps its own record.

Dr Michael Levin Dr Mark Bailey connecting cellular ionic bonds to the "emergent" ionic performance of ivermectin and fenbendazole

Image
Not medical advice. Fiction. I connect several intriguing concepts: the potential ionic interactions of fenbendazole and ivermectin, the role of bioelectricity in disease as proposed by Michael Levin, and the critique of viruses as primary disease agents posited by Dr. Mark Bailey https://youtu.be/9vl-mAIhGx0?si=bNBFNueAnL5raIWN . These connections suggest that both drugs and bioelectric interventions might address fundamental ionic imbalances or disruptions in cellular signaling, rather than targeting "viruses" or "cancers" directly as traditionally understood. --- Key Ideas and Connections: 1. Fenbendazole and Ivermectin’s Ionic Interactions Both fenbendazole and ivermectin are antiparasitic drugs with noted off-label uses, particularly in experimental cancer treatment and, controversially, in viral infections: Fenbendazole disrupts microtubule dynamics by binding to tubulin, affecting cellular structure and potentially ionic flow within cells. This could influenc...

The Vanishing of 1984: Propaganda, Media, and Why It Matters Today

Image
Introduction When I was in school, 1984 by George Orwell wasn’t just a book—it was an education. In my school district, we spent weeks reading it out loud in class, dissecting its themes of propaganda, surveillance, and societal control. It wasn’t just a story; it was a lens through which we were taught to view the world critically. We learned to question authority, recognize manipulation, and understand how truth can be bent to serve power. But today, things seem different. Is 1984 being taught less frequently, and if so, why? Could this explain why society today seems so easily manipulated by propaganda and media? Here I will explore the disappearance of 1984 from some classrooms, the parallels between its dystopian world and our reality, and what we risk losing if these lessons aren’t passed down. Why 1984 Might Have Disappeared from Some Classrooms It’s important to note that 1984 is potentially still taught in many schools. Though, I couldn't find any. Curriculum choices vary ...

SSRIs Indirect Pathways and Potential for Permanent Solutions

Image
Fiction because that's that I write. But... I propose that this has a direct correlation to Michael Levin's work on cellular ionic bonding . This is not medical advice. I believe his hypothesis to many chronic health issues stem from ionic breakdown or can be potentially treated at the molecular level with simple mechanisms. While SSRIs target serotonin reuptake to regulate mood, they operate downstream of potentially root-level dysfunctions. Understanding how minerals, fatty acids, and other compounds interact with the body's indirect pathways opens the door for interventions that might correct the core issues rather than managing symptoms. Here's a deeper exploration: --- Indirect Pathways: How Minerals and Fatty Acids Influence Neuronal Function 1. Neurotransmitter Synthesis and Function Many minerals and fatty acids play a key role in producing, regulating, and breaking down neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, and GABA: Magnesium is a cofactor in over ...
