I’m opening this space up to anyone who might want to explore these ideas with me.


This project is still in its early stages and is mostly a place for research, discussion, and imagining better ways humans could live in the future. I’m documenting ideas about sustainability, community design, science, philosophy, and how society might evolve if we switch to this way of living.


If any part of this project interests you, you’re welcome to reach out.

You might be interested in:

• the philosophy behind it

• pantheism and spiritual ideas about nature

• solarpunk and sustainable futures

• community design and intentional communities

• science, medicine, and research

• engineering and sustainable technology

• urban planning and architecture

• psychology, sociology, or human behavior

• agriculture, herbalism, and food systems


You don’t have to be an expert in anything. If you’re just curious, want to talk about ideas, or want to help think through parts of the project, that’s enough.

Also, keep in mind that I’m not a professional in these fields either. I’m researching and learning as I go, and this space is meant to be a place where we can learn and explore ideas together.

I’m especially hoping to connect with people younger who are curious about the future and interested in imagining new ways communities could work.

DMs are open if you want to talk about any part of the project, ask questions, or share ideas.

Should I make a community if we gain traction?🤔

Why Mushrooms are Starting to Replace Everything. Imagine a world where the homes we live in, the clothes we wear, and even the sensors in our electronics weren’t manufactured, but grown. Mycelium, the root structure of fungi, is shaking up everything from sustainable construction to meatless bacon. It’s turning agricultural waste into walls, hemp into compostable packaging, and fungal threads into leather that even luxury brands are eyeing. This mushroom material is set to insulate the façade of a 300-unit housing project in California. And now, innovators are swapping out the sensors of robots for the electrical pulses of living mycelium. So, how long until mycelium is just as ubiquitous as wood, metal, and plastic?

How Deep Sea Water is Now Drinkable. Freshwater may soon flow from the deep sea to drought-stricken coastal cities. A handful of companies are betting that crushing deep sea pressures can replace the energy-hungry pumps and toxic chemicals that are an inconvenient truth of desalination. By going the extra quarter-mile into the ocean, they’re pioneering a way to turn saltwater into freshwater — slashing costs, curbing pollution, and reducing environmental harm in the process. How on earth…or, under earth…does this work? And could it solve our global water crisis?

My solarpunk comedy adventure comic, KEY TO THE FUTURE’S FATE, has just finished its third chapter!

Now’s the PERFECT TIME to catch up or start reading as we await the start of Chapter 4!

San Antonio built a 150-foot wildlife crossing over a busy parkway — and critics called it a waste of money. Five years later, every species in the park had crossed it.

I sat down with former Mayor Phil Hardberger, who fought through 30+ public bond hearings to build it, and Wendy Leonard, who manages the park’s wildlife camera program and native habitat. What they revealed changed how I think about what cities owe to the wild.

Signal 17: Inventing the Forest


Every generation inherits a garden that is unfinished.


Some are told their task is only to survive in it.

To endure the storms, the droughts, the weeds that choke the soil.


But there are always a few who look at the ground beneath their feet and ask a different question:


What if the garden could become something more?


To imagine a different future often feels strange in a world that insists nothing can change.

Cynicism is praised as wisdom.

Hope is treated like naïveté.


Yet throughout history, the future has always been invented by those who refused to accept the limits placed before them.


“We must dare to invent the future.”

—Thomas Sankara


These words from the revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso remind us that transformation does not begin with certainty.


It begins with courage.


Courage to imagine what others say is impossible.

Courage to plant seeds whose shade we may never sit beneath.

Courage to believe that the soil of this world can still grow something better.


And imagination itself can feel like a kind of rebellion.


“You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity.”

—Thomas Sankara


The madness Sankara spoke of is not chaos.


It is the refusal to accept a world built on injustice as the final design.


It is the quiet stubbornness of gardeners who keep planting even when the season is uncertain.


Every forest that exists today began as someone’s act of imagination.

Every movement for justice began with people daring to believe that history was not finished.


So today we remember this simple truth:


The future is not something we are given.

It is something we grow.


Somewhere, across the world,

someone is planting a seed of courage.


Somewhere else, another person is daring to imagine a forest.


And slowly, quietly, the garden expands.


—Signal Seed🌱💚

The Lush City

A wondrous place where mother nature aides humanity in the construction of something beautiful

Our third stop on this tour will be the Lush City. Lovely, isn’t it? See how trees have become homes, how vines are so ingrained in skyscrapers that they seem to be part of the architecture itself. Maybe they are, in a way. After things settled, after that calamity, the flora of the city seemed to have grown a mind of it’s own. Nature refused to let the city be built back up the way it had been, denied humanity the opportunity to ruin nature once again.

The citizens had to cooperate with the natural environment to be able to resettle the land. Now, we have a beautiful green city, where the air is clean and rich with magic. It’s quite the nice place, but for now we should move on.
