A fascinating evening at The Lightning Society in Brooklyn, put together by our friends Benjamin Von Wong and featuring Michael Mezzatesta and myself, all about the present and future of leaning into regenerative economics. Our movement is in the air! It was a packed house!

Our son is developing quite the vocabulary and so I'm offering small nuggets of dad advice I hope will serve him well. Become competent, not expert, at everything you touch.

Last night's sunset release of baby turtles on Playa La Ropa. The boy was immobilized and frankly concerned. We had to explain that they live in the ocean and are happy there.

More from Zihua.

Perhaps the problem is the incentives of a representative republic dominated by a narrow Overton Window of only two corporatist parties? I don't know. What do you think?

The path to Zihuatenejo. And I feel this Mexican graffiti artist. We haven't been the best of neighbors.

More of autumn. Thanks Benjamin Von Wong for this shot of me co-hosting the Warm Data Lab at the Denizen retreat.

Apropos our recent GP Dinner with dark retreat advocate Nick Jankel. "I wanted to boil existence down, see what remained." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/m...

When will we make ecocide a crime? When will the laws reflect the values that most of us already carry, that a flourishing natural world, clean air and water, is a child's birthright? www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

@nickjankel.bsky.social thanks again for popping up to SF from LA after your trip to Amsterdam. Going into The Dark together was a transformative conversation for our community, reflecting on courage, introspection and the kind of initiations and medicine needed by so many right now in our society.

On Saturday night we hosted about 60 Good People at TinkerTendo for a dinner to celebrate David Gelles and his new book Dirtbag Billionaire, about Yvon Chouinnard and Patagonia. Big thanks to Esther Yoon, Matt Mullenweg, Hanif Sadr and especially Karin Justine Johnson for making this all possible.

Last call for our 191st GP Dinner this Tuesday, October 7th in San Francisco. Chef, menu, speaker, venue and other details are all here. www.eventbrite.com/e/1429318051...

Good. An abrupt interruption might wake some people up. I would join a general strike as well.

Eric Adams started with strong support among Black and working-class voters. By the time he dropped out Sunday, his re-election effort was polling below 10%. Here’s how a swirl of scandals and accusations of corruption led to his decline. nyti.ms/3IMncRE

We are building a little Cathedral of the Green Thumb over near the garden.

Good People, Last call for our design for impact gathering, October 13 to 17 here at Camp Earnest. An extraordinary list of compassionate and driven friends, leaders in a variety of industries has signed up. I’ll send out our first what to expect email soon. www.eventbrite.com/e/1083481104...

"I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent." Mahatma Gandhi

Every day we spruce up. Every step improves the experience for Camp Earnest visitors. More signs went up, to help guests navigate more easily. The new ice-maker works great! New solar lights went up on the mural across from the lodge, the Tuolumne sign and the sign at the Cedar Springs gate.

Next level campaigning. Out-entertain the plutocracy.

I lived in San Francisco for 22 years before we transitioned to the mountains. This spiritual materialism is one of two things I feel relieved to have distance from. The other is myopic technology solutionism, as in, "don't worry about climate change or biodiversity loss. AI will fix that."

We have a Mountain Paradise sign that hung at our Tuolumne gate for a year or so, but it was only one-sided. Karin suggested we move this one to our gate on Cedar Springs Road and Mike made this live edge sign two sided and illuminated by a solar real estate light that turns itself on at night.

Good People, We still have a few spots available for our Design for Exponential Impact retreat next month here at Camp Earnest. Perhaps you're wondering if this cohort and subject matter are right for you? www.eventbrite.com/e/design-for...

I am once again asking you to stop sending us money. But we do need your time. ⏰ zohranfornyc.com/events

I’m proud of our west coast public health officials. This will save a lot of lives. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

Garden veggies here at Camp Earnest. Can't get enough tomatoes.

There's a border we inherited in front of the lodge, between the gravel and the wood chips. It's been demarcated by small wood rounds that had thoroughly rotted. So we tore these out and replaced them with a nice local black granite. Soon we'll fill this sloped peninsula with fresh wood chips.

Good People, Our October 4th dinner to celebrate David Gelles' new book Dirtbag Billionaire quickly sold out. We've reached out to our friend Matt and he's graciously allowed us use of his big building in San Francisco's Dogpatch neighborhood. Chef also agreed to a new cap of 60 guests.

ZZ Top is playing tonight at Ironstone Vineyards. I bet there are thousands of fans in the outdoor amphitheater. But we arrived way early and enjoyed our friend Katrina's husband playing in the huge wine cave. Then we went home.

“And they’re not bitter,” he says. “If you believe in a better world, you need to get right with the fact that you may never see it.” At this point, he sniffles. “And now I’m going to cry a little. I can do that because I’ve had a lot of therapy.” newrepublic.com/article/1996...

The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.

This evening's gifts from the Camp Earnest gardens. Abundant bright acidy sweetness.

Had to say goodbye to mom today. She had our help to check in and some nice folks at American Airlines to the gate and onto the plane. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful mom. And my bonus mom Prema.

He needed to go outside and say cheese during dinner with mom and Marsha last night. This is some wonderful California fusion Chinese food.
