They're huge, 30-foot vaulted ceilings.
Really?
Gorgeous, like outdoor, indoor living, like the best of California.
And they've been building these things for 40,000 years, and they burn them down every 10 years and build a new one.
They have this understanding of...
Yeah, the life-death cycle of the energy of a house, and they don't want the household to be stuck in the same energy it's had the last 10 years, so they see it as this rebirth.
You mentioned earlier the cocoon.
They go through these rebirth processes for the whole household, the whole home, and they move.
and they've been doing it that way for thousands of years tens of thousands of years and so the beautiful thing about these houses is there's not a obviously not a refrigerator there's not a storage bin for food they wake up in the morning for 40 000 years walk outside and collect what the jungle has for them today but it wasn't a passive process it was an active keystone species process
Every family has three different gardens that it maintains at different micro ecosystems within the forest so that each year, depending on dry season, wet season, whatever's happening that year, one of their gardens is thriving.
And so they have, as a peoples, created micro ecosystems within the Amazon rainforest for tens of thousands of years to the point that it now holds the most biodiversity per meter of any other ecosystem in the world, really.
And so we are this magnificent creature.
But if you break our relationship for a moment to our natural system, then the immediate thing that shows up before money shows up, poverty shows up.
And my book goes into some details like what are the different geometries of of wealth and poverty?
They actually hold their own security as their own kind of sovereign geometries within human behavior and human minds.
And what you see with poverty is this instant reinforcement of a deep, deep human wound that must be our one shared original wound, which is we were abandoned by nature.
And the moment you believe any aspect of that or have anything suggest that nature was holding back from us, nature wasn't giving us, I mean, you taste that boxed apple juice, that high fructose corn syrup, and the brain is me like, ah, I knew there was something better than nature.
I knew there was something better because the neurochemistry lights up.
That boxed apple juice is just like cocaine on the frontal lobe.
And it's a bizarre thing that high fructose corn syrup is a bizarre thing.
