Your Forever Home podcast

Let’s talk today about the notion of home.  I notice that nowadays, when people talk about where they live, the inevitably talk about resale value, and even decorate and landscape and add improvements mainly with this in mind- RESALE value, as if what they sell their place for someday is far more important than actually making it more and more into their home- the place where they intend to stay, and where their family and friends, and indeed all the things that make them themselves is nothing more than future dollars!

This mercenary outlook is mainly prevalent in the cities and suburbs of the United States, and is a wrong-headed, perverse way of looking at things.  You should strive to make your true home your ancestral home- the axis of your being and that of your children.  If you don’t live in such a place, the first order of being is to find one.  Don’t live somewhere when you are young just because you find a job there, and then repeatedly move around chasing jobs, until you wind up finally cashing out, and moving to some retirement hot spot where it is hot and lots of other old people live without real roots.  This, my friend, is ‘drinking the Kool Aid’, and you are spinning your wheels, accomplishing nothing that is real.

Your forever home is hopefully a place you researched about and found yourself!  Possibly you were born there, or near to there, but probably not.  I moved when I was in my late 20’s to a place I knew about, but to which I had no ties at all.  I had researched, chosen this place as ideal, and then moved there from a large city hundreds of miles distant.  I knew what I wanted, I found the ideal location to raise my future family and plant our roots deeply, and then I moved.  

The idea of ‘resale value’ never, ever, once crossed my mind- and it still doesn’t!  Who really cares?  Really, I want a wonderful area that fits me and my genotype, and that is rural and stable, crime free and is a virtual ethnostate of people who are like myself.  Sorry it that offends some people, but it is what the human species has sought and fought for all throughout our evolution and history.

Where and in what manner you live determines more than just your economic well being!  Your someplace should be where you live your entire life, not just your working years.  It should be an ideal home from your youth to your old age!  A place with a fair amount of land, with room for a garden or two, animals if you want, lots of birds and other wildlife, and tons of privacy!  

You shouldn’t even really want a different climate or landscape when you are older and retired.  If you do, why then you chose a forever home that was wrong for you.  Think about it: what do you really, really desire for your home place?  If it is dry and warm year round, why then you should choose one now, not in 30 years or so!

If you live a paleo type of ancestral lifestyle, eating, living, exercising and moving in accordance to our genetic type over the years, why then you should not have the physical debilities so prevalent in our urban types of existence.  Autoimmune diseases will pass you by, leaving you hale and hearty to enjoy your later years as much, or more than those of your younger years.

I know in my own case this is quite true.  I am now 68, and moved to my small acreage over 40 years ago.  Nothing has changed over the years, except I have gradually improved my house and grounds, and even added to my acreage when it became available!  (Land is key).  My child and grandchildren are in the area, and none of us plan to ever move, at least very far.

This is the ancestral model!  Throughout our European history in the old country and then the U.S., this was the ideal- a home place, eventually surrounded by relatives and others very like us.  The Left overall- Big Government, Marxists and Globalists have assailed this timeless truth, telling us we need to live smashed together in big cities and metropolitan areas, where government can easily control and monitor us.  Mix and mingle us with others unlike us, and unable to get along peacefully.

All of this is a lie.  Find your forever home, and live there forever.  Defend your home as best you can- keep it for you and yours!  As Jesus said: “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s”, and support your nation and state.  But keep yourself separate- you and yours are most important of all.

I have a good friend, who used to live just down the road in my Forever Home valley.  He left, I believe because he really wanted more land, above all.  He found his forever home, in an equally rural sort of area, with much more land.  I believe he is happy there as well, as I am here.

One of his neighbors came by his place, and sat out in front of his beautiful log home, which he built.  He went out to greet her and see what she wanted.  

“No one should own a view like this!” she said, looking out across his wonderful valley.  Obviously, she has not found her own forever home, since she covets the view of my friend’s place!

We all need a place that is ideal for us, whether it suits others or not.  Whether it is a mountain valley, a desert landscape, or looking out over a river- only you can know what suits you.  And not just today, or right now…

Choose wisely and long term- choose yourself and your family a 

Forever Home.

Paleo Quick Tip of the Day #90 Choose your paleo home wisely

pqtd 90 Live in a Paleo Friendly home

I don’t know why I am so inflammatory, but I KNOW that this little podcast will be so:

I am here to suggest that you NOT live in a big city, that you NOT raise your children IN a big metropolitan city (at least in the US, I know little of those overseas which may be very different), AND I also think you should not raise your family in the suburbs that surround these cities!!

Pause to hate PaleoJay... OK, let’s start again:

I am basing all of this on history, ancient history is a particular interest of mine.  When Rome was collapsing, nothing at all was wrong with her armies, or her strategies.  It was all her POLITICS.

Corruption at the highest levels of government, and the LIVES of those at those levels, had degenerated to the point where ALL that they could think about was immediate self-advantage, and how to manipulate things for maximum profit and gain. 

The original notions of the “good of the state and the commonwealth” were utterly discarded, and self-interest in the short term was all that mattered!

The troops were called back from faraway Britain, although everything was under control there, because the back at ROME, power politics were unravelling.  Again, this had NOTHING to do with the armies, and invaders, or anything else- it was all about the collapse of morals and law and order and a consensus about how to live!

Sound familiar? 

In modern America, I believe we are about there now:  our army is second to none.  But with NERO in charge (I mean  Obama here, sorry but it’s very, very true!) our army is hamstrung.

Our moral landscape has collapsed; the Knockout Game is alive and well in our big cities, where young men purposefully KNOCK UNCONSCIOUS old women and men as a GAME!! 

And our media purposefully IGNORES and tries to suppress it! 

In ancient Rome, MY ancestors, the Germans, were constantly raiding the borders of the country, trying to invade.  And during this period, the YOUTH (the liberals of the time) in Rome idolized the Germanic barbarians, and strutted about the capital in “trousers”, (which were considered uncouth and totally barbarian!) and wore “mustaches”, which Romans abhorred!

This is right in line with what is going on now.  Let’s go back a bit, to the 1970’s when Tom Wolfe wrote a very perceptive book called “Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers”.

In this book, Tom Wolfe was pointing out how liberal guilt had destroyed the ability of the ruling class to even RECOGNIZE that their decisions were literally DESTROYING the empire, in other words destroying WESTERN CIVILIZATION ITSELF. 

All in the name of “fairness”. 

This is a mirror image of what happened in ancient Rome:

The Germans “asked” if they could “settle” in Roman territory.  After much deliberation, the Roman Senate (under Nero!), said OK- but they said only for a limited time...

AND, over time, the Germans did NOT leave, and the armies were all called back to defend the capital, and the empire fell... leading to over 1000 years of darkness and horror, basically the end of western civilization.

My point is this: 

We are treading this thin ice in civilization once again. 

Back then, anyone who could retreated into rural, idyllic types of areas.  Like Spain, England and France- back then, these were really, really “out of the way backwaters”. 

And then, they built castles- fortresses! 

And this is the start of Medieval Life, although then it was just SURVIVAL.  I believe we are at a similar juncture in history.

The barbarians have been given an open door- illegals preferred!  The Roman/US purse has been supplied for unlimited welfare, and once again Western Civilization is ripe for the plucking!

Sad but true, all because of corruption,  and unwarranted guilt over doing really, really well for millennia...

My advice?

Get OUT of major cities!  Things are bad, and looking way, way worse.  Detroit used to be a “center of culture”; most major US cities are following that path!

Sorry, I MEAN THE SUBURBS TOO!  I hate what the suburbs have become- the rampant (hyper Roman) consumerism and flagrant slavish allegiance to “fashion” has recurred time and time again, and only leads to horrible crucibles for children to survive.  You only have to read David Copperfield to understand this...

Get your families into a small town, semi-rural or rural environment.  Somewhere where you KNOW your neighbors, what they do for a living, and you know them really, and completely, not just their Linked In profile.

I know a guy who has an internet business.  He can live anywhere he wants!  He used to live in NYC, but he has little kids and a wife...

He did just what I recommended!  He moved to a small town (really small, about 1300 people), in rural Wisconsin! 

If you can do it, do it.  Move to a rural, or at least a small city environment.  This is “Paleo” in a huge way! 

The “urban shuffle” SUCKS!  If you have children, even more so. 

Now, more than ever, anyone who wants to “sustain Western Civilization” had better move beyond the areas of corruption, those areas that NERO has destroyed, and go back to SMALL TOWN AMERICANA! 

It has not yet been ruined, and is the BEST HOPE FOR US ALL IN THE FUTURE! 

ALL YOU NEED TO DO, is get as FAR from ROME (the US GOVT.) as possible! 

Wait it out.
