  David Hughes, Review of Iain Davis, The Technocratic Dark State​ - One of the Most Important Books That You Will Read

It is rare to come across a book that exposes how power really operates in the contemporary world...
..Davis’ book, which significantly develops an important series of essays published on Unlimited Hangout in 2025, stands alone as the single best analytical synthesis of up-to-date information on the global technocratic coup that has been underway since 2020.
  In 20 chapters spanning over 400 pages, Davis meticulously exposes the real power structures and agendas in today’s world...
..The Technocratic Dark State begins by exposing the bogus intellectual foundations being invoked to legitimise the attempted technocratic takeover. Without Davis’ contribution, who would have given much thought to the neoreactionary “Dark Enlightenment,” or concepts such as “accelerationism,” “gov-corp” and “sovcorps”?
  Most readers probably have no idea what those concepts mean, who coined them, or what kind of worldview they legitimise. Yet, as it turns out, Peter Thiel has long been partial to such ideas, and along with Elon Musk and other technocrats seems serious about implementing them. The highest-level agendas being enacted in the world today rest on these ideas.

​  While many commentators remain trapped in 20th terminology such as “fascism” and “communism,” the reality is that an entirely new political lexicon is required in order to understand the kind of totalitarianism that is being built today (i.e., global technocracy). It features strange terminology which Musk and others have openly used (e.g. “Dark MAGA” as an allusion to the “Dark Enlightenment”), but which is only decipherable for those in the know.​..

..It amounts to intellectual garbage, flawed on virtually every level, and Davis does a solid job of exposing its limitations.
​  This is very important, because it means that there are no sound intellectual foundations behind the drive to implement global technocracy. It is purely a power grab — the largest in history by some distance.​..

​..Therefore, means must be found of fooling citizens into accepting the technocratic measures being advanced... For example, Davis devotes an entire chapter to “Neoreactionary Christianity,” highlighting the ways in which Christianity has been hijacked by neoreactionaries to serve its purposes. Thiel, for instance, has plenty to say about the Antichrist while Palantir facilitates atrocities against the Palestinians.​..

..Voters have been deceived by Trump’s “techno-populism” and promises to create “efficiencies” via DOGE. In reality, Palantir has been granted the keys to US government databases, in line with the GovTech/Digital State agenda now being rolled out everywhere for purposes of “population control.” Palantir has also been awarded major contracts with nearly all, if not all, major US government agencies.

​  The ultimate consequence of an AI-powered Digital State, as I have argued, will be the use of digital technologies to facilitate the efficient “neutralisation” of dissidents (an extension of using drones to assassinate suspected “terrorists”)...

..The second half of The Technocratic Dark State is even stronger than the first, because it gets into the nitty-gritty of how technocracy is being implemented in 2025...

..Davis warns of the dangers of a social credit system (SCS) linked to digital ID:
​  "If we submit to a digital ID […], then, assuming we are compelled to use […] digital currency (linked to our digital ID), we will not be able to escape the social credit system, no matter how much we balk. Indeed, once those digital connections have been snapped into place like handcuffs, our behavior within the digital prison can be — will be — adjudicated in accordance with the SCS rules that govern us.​"
​  He makes no bones of the fact that we are faced with “oligarchs who are hyper-focused on exploiting digital technology for the purpose of enslaving humanity.”​

​  Indeed, the UK Government’s flat ignoring of a recent petition signed by 2.75 million Britons (4% of the population, including children) against digital ID shows that the ruling class has no concern whatsoever for public opinion.​..

..Davis draws a distinction between what he calls “NEONERD” oligarchs (i.e., “upstarts” seeking to exploit the new technologies for their own benefit) and the much more powerful “dynastic oligarchs,” whose control reaches back centuries. His argument is that their interests align in terms of a “high-risk, high-reward” plan to establish the New World Order in double-quick (accelerated) time...

..One significant development is Balaji Srinivasan’s idea of the “network state,” whereby superwealthy individuals band together to fund their own states. Improbable as this may sound, Davis provides multiple real world examples, such as Próspera, characterising them as parasitical entities designed to “suck wealth and resources out of nation-states and impoverish them” while concentrating their own power...

​..Chapters 16-18 are on digital currency and are some of the most important in the book. A permissionless DLT​ [distributed ledger technology, as Bitcoin]​ based digital currency, Davis argues, theoretically “decentralizes and thus neuters the immense power of the banks to control both the issuance of money and consequently finance.”
​  Instead, however, the technocrats want to bring in decentralised finance using permissioned DLT to issue their own digital currencies — in effect, an attempt to privatise the international monetary and financial system, placing all the power in the hands of those who control it.
​  A key step towards such a system in the United States was the passage of the GENIUS Act, which, in Davis’ view, facilitates “a monumental deception upon the American people and the world.” Interoperable stablecoins that are clearly designed to function as digital dollars have been excluded from monetary controls simply by asserting they are not “national currency,” thus placing them beyond Congress’s regulatory jurisdiction.
​  The idea of interoperability really means “allowing for centralised control,” with all transactions being recorded on a single unified ledger as per the technocrats’ original vision in the 1930s. Today, this is manifest in the Bank for International Settlements’ proposal for a global “unified ledger" ... which Davis calls the ​"Synthetic Hegemony Currency​".​..

..In an all-digital financial system, everything can be tokenised and placed on the blockchain, including so-called “natural assets.” It is estimated that the tokenized global economy will be worth $4-5 quadrillion (a quadrillion is a thousand trillion). In that context, Davis argues, the US national debt, currently at $38 trillion, appears as a drop in the ocean...

​..An even more audacious project is the Trump administration’s sovereign wealth fund, which aims to sell off 650 million acres of land (ca. 30% percent of the United States’ landmass), said to be the “sovereign property” of the US government. This is effectively theft, as it means that the land does not belong to the American people after all and can be signed over to oligarchs who can then tokenize the “ecosystem services” (a UN Agenda 21 term) that they have just purchased. Furthermore, their “natural capital” (another Agenda 21 term) can be traded over the counter (OTC), outside the regulated exchanges, evading SEC scrutiny.
​  If the public allows all this to go ahead, the result will be a privatised global financial system operating beyond regulatory scrutiny and handing ownership and control of everything (and everyone) to a criminal transnational oligarchy.​..

..There are different competing factions within that oligarchy. However, they all recognise that their interests are best served by the formation of a New World Order. In Davis’s view, this will be achieved, first through regionalisation (in line with the original technocratic vision of the division of the world into “Technates”), and then through the imposition of a single one-world government, ruling all of the regions.​..

..The final chapter, titled “Parasitic Gov-Corp Technates,” describes “a growing infestation of expanding private fiefdoms” that are eroding the public sector authority of national governments. They include “Network State Archipelagos, Freedom Cities, 15-Minute Cities, Resilient Cities, Charter Cities, Special Economic Zones (SEZs), Free Trade Zones (FTZs), Freeports, and ‘human settlements’” (another Agenda 21 term).​..

​..But, Davis observes, we should not be fooled into imagining that there is anything “free” about these oligarch-funded projects. In Thiel-funded Praxis (in Greenland), for instance,
​  "Your freedom to roam will be geofenced by AI-linked EVs. Your assets and rights will be “on-chain” and limited by the Praxis AI’s application of the Social Credit System (SCS) rules on its unified ledger, which will be hosted on the Praxis arm of the Finternet. Any behavior that isn’t already restricted by your programmable Praxis digital currency will be policed by AI surveillance and attack drones.​"...

..We do not have to accept such a future, however, as The Technocratic Dark State repeatedly underscores.​ Resistance begins with recognising the reality of what is taking place​... 

..Peaceful non-compliance with the oligarchs’ “demented edicts” and “insane schemes” opens the door to building “something truly better.”​...  ​

..Humanity thus stands at a pivotal juncture. With the oligarchs’ dream of enslaving humanity through digital means fast approaching realisation, everyone needs to understand the urgent message contained within these pages, and to act on it.​   https://dhughes.substack.com/p/review-of-iain-davis-the-technocratic

​..AI workloads do not draw power the way traditional computing does. They surge. They idle. They fluctuate thousands of times a second, driving load profiles that look less like a flat demand curve and more like an EKG.

The self-driving taxis have become ubiquitous in the city, but an uproar ensued when one ran over a beloved feline.

​  Kit Kat used to bar-hop along the block, slinking into Delirium for company and chin rubs. Everybody knew the bodega cat, affectionately calling him the Mayor of 16th Street. Kit Kat was their “dawg,” the guys hanging out on the corner said.
​  But shortly before midnight on Oct. 27, the tabby was run over just outside the bar and left for dead. The culprit?
A robot taxi.
​  Hundreds of animals are killed by human drivers in San Francisco each year. But the death of a single cat, crushed by the back tire of a Waymo self-driving taxi, has infuriated some residents in the Mission who loved Kit Kat — and led to consternation among those who resent how automation has encroached on so many parts of society.​   https://archive.is/WcC1f#selection-581.0-603.333

  Really worth reading, and not too long: Censored Lavrov interview with Italian media (FULL TEXT)

Lavrov has commented on the aborted meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump in Budapest

​  The understandings reached in Anchorage were an important milestone in the search for a long-term peace in Ukraine through overcoming the consequences of the violent anti-constitutional state coup in Kiev organised by the Obama administration in February 2014. The understandings are based on the existing reality and closely bound to the conditions of a just and lasting resolution of the Ukrainian crisis proposed by President Putin in June 2024. ​  As far as we know, those conditions were heard and received, including publicly, by the Trump administration – mainly the condition that it is unacceptable to drag Ukraine into NATO to create strategic military threats to Russia directly on its borders. 

​  Washington also openly admitted that it will not be able to ignore the territorial issue following the referendums in Russia’s five historical regions whose residents unambiguously chose self-determination apart from the Kiev regime that labelled them as “sub-humans,” “creatures,” and “terrorists,” and chose reunification with Russia.
​  The American concept that, at the US President’s instruction, his Special Envoy Steve Witkoff brought to Moscow the week before the Alaska summit was also built around the issues of security and territorial reality. President Putin told Donald Trump in Anchorage that we agreed to use this concept as a basis while proposing a specific step that opens a way for its practical implementation.
​  The US leader said that he should consult with his allies; however, after the meeting with his allies that took place in Washington the next day, we did not receive a reaction to our positive response to the proposals that Steve Witkoff delivered to Moscow before Alaska. No reaction was communicated during my meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio in September in New York when I reminded him that we were still expecting it. 

​  To help our American colleagues decide on their own concept, we set forth the Alaska understandings in a non-paper and delivered it to Washington. Several days later, at Trump’s request, he and Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation and reached a preliminary agreement to meet in Budapest after thorough preparations for this summit. There was no doubt that they would discuss the understandings in Anchorage. 

​  After a few days, I spoke with Marco Rubio over the phone. Washington described the conversation as constructive (it was indeed constructive and useful) and announced that, after that telephone conversation, an in-person meeting between the Secretary of State and the Russian Foreign Minister in preparation for the top-level meeting was unnecessary. 

​  Who and how submitted covert reports to the American leader after which he either postponed or cancelled the Budapest summit, I do not know. But I have described the general timeline strictly based on the facts for which I am responsible. I am not going to take responsibility for bluntly fake news about Russia’s lack of readiness for talks or sabotaging the outcomes of the Anchorage meeting. Please speak to The Financial Times regarding that.​   https://www.rt.com/russia/627767-censored-lavrov-interview-with-italian-liberal-newspaper/

​  IBM unveils Loon and Nighthawk, next-generation processors for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing

​Qubits are the fundamental unit of logical information in a quantum computer, similar to a classical computer’s bit. Unlike classical bits, which can be a 0 or 1, qubits can be 0, 1 or a “superposition” of both at the same time. Using this property, quantum processors such as IBM’s Nighthawk can do complex parallel calculations.
​  Tunable couplers push this even further by allowing pairs of qubits to interact with one another, thus enabling entanglement. Entanglement is useful because it allows a single computer operation to affect multiple quantum states across qubits at the same time, this allows quantum computers to explore many potential solutions in at the same time.
​  IBM said Nighthawk’s architecture will enable programmers to explore demanding problems that require up to 5,000 two-qubit gates. The company expects that future iterations of the processor will provide 7,500 gates by the end of 2026 and 15,000 gates by 2028.
​  With this new chip, IBM is working on a path toward what is called “quantum advantage”​.   https://siliconangle.com/2025/11/12/ibm-unveils-loon-nighthawk-next-generation-processors-scalable-fault-tolerant-quantum-computing/

Managing The Near Future

 Creative Realists,

  Gail Tverberg, A lack of very cheap oil is leading to debt problems - We planned as if the low-priced oil era of 1948 to 1973 would last

The issue I see is that many promises were made during the period between the end of World War II and 1973, when oil prices were very low, and most people assumed that oil supply could grow endlessly. No one stopped to think that this was a temporary situation that likely could not be repeated. If things didn’t work out as planned, debt bubbles could bring down the economy...
..Between 1920 and 1970, US oil supply grew rapidly. The early oil was easy to extract and close to customers wanting to purchase it. There had been warnings from physicists (including, most notably, M. King Hubbert) that this could not go on indefinitely, but most people assumed that any obstacles were far in the future...
..Of course, there were other countries producing oil besides the US at that time, so it was possible to purchase imported oil. The US still had some oil it could produce, but it tended to require more complex operations. For example, some of the oil was in Alaska. Bringing this oil to market required working in a cold climate, laying a long pipeline, and using ships to transport the oil to locations with refineries.
  Low oil prices were very beneficial to the economy, for as long as they lasted...   

..Oil and other energy products are like food for the economy. During the period when oil prices were very low, there was sufficient margin for purchasing all kinds of “extras”...
..In the low-priced oil era, small businesses were sufficient for many types of operations. There was little need for a deep organizational hierarchy, or for advanced energy-saving versions of manufactured devices. Most goods used in the US were made in the US...
..Once the economy started to need more complexity, things began to change...
..The economy needs a strong middle class to maintain the buying power needed to purchase goods such as vehicles, motorcycles, and new homes, to keep the price of oil up. If the middle class starts to disappear, or if young people start earning less than their parents did at the same age (adjusted for inflation), then it becomes difficult to keep the prices of oil and other energy products up. Prices must be both high enough for producers and low enough for consumers...
..Recessions took place when oil prices rose. Governments found that they needed to bail out their economies with more debt when oil prices rose. Since 2008, the ratio of US debt to GDP has skyrocketed. Quite a bit of the added debt has been to pay for programs for poor people and the elderly...
..The current level of debt of the US government is widely viewed as being too high. One analysis suggests that if the ratio of government debt to GDP exceeds 90%, economic growth is inhibited. The US debt to GDP ratio is now 120% on the basis shown, which is well above the 90% threshold. One concern is that interest payments on debt already exceed the amount the US spends on defense each year. Taxes need to rise, simply to pay the interest on the debt.
  Growing debt, particularly during the Stagflation Stage, is one of the issues mentioned by researchers into so-called secular cycles, which are long-term cycles that take centuries to complete. In the book Secular Cycles by Peter Turchin and Sergey Nefedov, a group of people somehow obtain possession of an area of land (often by cutting down trees or winning a war) that allows the population of the group to temporarily surge. When the population reaches the carrying capacity of the area, population growth greatly slows in a period referred to as Stagflation. Wage and wealth disparity become more of a problem, as does debt.
  Eventually, according to Turchin and Nefedof’s study examining eight societies, populations tended to collapse over long periods, ranging from 20 to 50 years. Such cycles are closely related to the periods of growth and collapse analyzed in Prof. Joseph Tainter’s book, “The Collapse of Complex Societies.”

  Hal Turner, Standard Overnight Funds Rate Plunges - Signals "Panic"

While, everyone was paying attention to the budget vote -- this happened. The Secured Overnight Funds Rate (SOFR) plunged.  In matters financial, the SOFR is the world's most important number.
  On November 6, 2025 the SOFR crashed to 3.92% -- the lowest level in two years. It is the benchmark that controls $397 trillion in global contracts, and it just signaled something catastrophic.
  This is not a rate cut. This is a liquidity flood.   The rate dropping like this is designed to make it super cheap for Banks and Corporations to borrow funds overnight to balance their books...

..Translation: The Fed sees something breaking and is throwing liquidity at it before the fractures become visible.   https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/standard-overnight-funds-rate-plunges-signals-panic

  Martin Armstrong, Fed Quietly Injects $125 Billion in Repo Market

The Federal Reserve quietly pumped $125 billion into the repo market during the last week of October. Red flags have been raised that the banks are in desperate need of liquidity, but there is a deeper issue at play—the entire system is under stress...
..The central bank stepped into the repo market in 2019 and has not injected an amount this large since the 2020 pandemic. This move comes as bank reserves drop to a four-year low of $2.8 trillion and liquidity is certainly a valid concern. More importantly, the Fed wants banks to trade US debt for cash and force the private sector to absorb the debt. The Fed does not want to publicly provide a bail out so they inject money into the standing repo facility and lend against Treasuries.
  The public must have confidence in the banks, and the banks must have confidence that the Federal Reserve will always catch them before they fall. We’ve seen several smaller banks go under in 2025, yet they were small enough not to raise concerns. The Fed fears panic more than it fears inflation. Powell knows that the central bank lost the ability to control inflation, but for now, it can control panic.
  The cycle cannot be prevented. The systemic issues are too far gone for repair.   https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/armstrongeconomics101/economics/fed-quietly-injects-125-billion-in-repo-market/

  If his finding is valid, large language models like ChapGPT are much further from ever becoming economically viable than even optimists imagine. No wonder OpenAI chief Sam Altman has been talking up a bailout.
  By way of background, over a series of typically very long and relentlessly documented articles, Zitron has demonstrated (among many other things) the absolutely enormous capital expenditures of the major AI incumbents versus comparatively thin revenues, let alone profits. Zitron’s articles on the enormous cash burn and massive capital misallocation that AI represents have the work of Gary Marcus on fundamental performance shortcomings as de facto companion pieces.   https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/11/has-ed-zitron-found-the-fatal-flaw-with-openai-and-its-flagship-chatgpt.html

  'Bankers Know Gold Is Their Money Of Last Resort'; Morgan Warns End Of American Empire Looms

More than a year ago, economic analyst and financial writer David Morgan predicted we were entering a global Great Depression.  With massive AI layoffs, sky rocketing silver and gold prices, exploding debt and civil unrest increasing, it looks like Morgan was right again.

  On the money side, demand is so shaky for US Treasuries that former Trump Federal Reserve nominee, Judy Shelton, was pitching a gold-backed US Treasury Bond on CNBC.  Was Shelton running a flag up the pole to gauge the reaction for the White House?  

  Morgan says:“You are not getting on CNBC and talking about a gold-backed bond unless it’s been, let’s say, approved by the powers that be.
This is something that will help restore a sound monetary system with possible gold convertibility.
Shelton argues that the US monetary system is unstable, inflationary and it erodes purchasing power.

  Brian Berletic, US Plans for China Blockade Continue Taking Shape

In 2018, the US Naval War College Review published a paper titled, “A Maritime Oil Blockade Against China—Tactically Tempting But Strategically Flawed.”  It was only one of many over the preceding years discussing the details of implementing a maritime blockade as part of a larger encirclement and containment strategy of China.
  At first glance the paper looks like US policy thinking considered, then moved past the idea of blockading China. Instead, the paper merely listed a number of obstacles impeding such a strategy in 2018—obstacles that would need to be removed if such a strategy were to be viable in the near or intermediate future—and obstacles US policymakers have been removing ever since.
  More contemporary papers published, including those among the pages of the US Naval Institute, have updated and refined not just an emerging strategy to theoretically confront and contain China, but a plan of action taking tangible shape...

..To understand Washington’s strategy toward China, one should not look to the political rhetoric of “retreat” or “homeland defense” in the Western Hemisphere, but rather to the tangible actions taking place across the Asia-Pacific and beyond—the meticulous encirclement of China’s periphery, the sustained attacks on its critical overland energy and trade links (BRI/CPEC), the calculated incapacitation of Russia as a potential energy supplier, and the establishment of local proxy forces (the Philippines, Japan, separatists on Taiwan) prepared to wage war.

  Far from an abstract or “flawed” concept relegated to think-tank papers, the maritime oil blockade—or wider general blockade against China—is being incrementally prepared in real-time. By systematically removing the very obstacles noted in the 2018 Naval War College Review paper, the US is demonstrating a clear, unwavering commitment to a multi-layered strategy of containment, coercion, and confrontation designed not just to prepare for conflict, but to make that conflict both inevitable and successful for the singular goal of maintaining global American hegemony.   https://www.asia-pacificresearch.com/us-plans-china-blockade-continue-taking-shape/5633127

​  Marjorie Taylor Greene Snaps Back at Trump After He Disses Her in Oval Office Presser: ‘I Haven’t Lost My Way’

Her reaction followed Collins asking Trump for his reaction to Greene, after the Louisiana Republican has criticized the president for grocery prices and for “nonstop” foreign policy meetings.
​  “I don’t know what happened to Marjorie,” Trump said at the White House. “She’s a nice woman, but I don’t know what happened.  She’s lost her way, I think.”
​He added a moment later:
​  “So when somebody like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who’s now catering to the other side—I don’t know what, you know, I guess she’s got some kind of an act going—but I’m surprised at her. But when somebody like Marjorie goes over and starts making statements like that, it shows she doesn’t know.”​   https://www.mediaite.com/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-snaps-back-at-trump-after-he-disses-her-in-oval-office-presser-i-havent-lost-my-way/

  A Midwestern Doctor, What They Never Tell Us About Salt - Why natural salt is essential for health

For 50 years, medicine has waged a misguided war against critical sources of health like salt and sunlight while avoiding discussing the real causes of diseases. Because of this, the dangers of salt are relentlessly focused on despite evidence not supporting them.
​  In parallel, the extreme dangers of consuming too little salt are rarely discussed in the medical field—despite dangerously low sodium being one of the most common conditions seen in hospitalized patients, and chronically low sodium greatly increasing one’s risk of dying.
​  The war against salt originated from the belief salt raises blood pressure—despite the evidence showing it doesn’t.
​  Many of the foundational beliefs around high blood pressure are not supported by the existing data, leading to situations where patients are routinely medicated to blood pressures far below what is safe, significantly reducing their quality of life and increasing their risk of severe injuries or death.
​  Salt restriction creates many similar complications to dangerously low blood pressures (e.g., fatigue, lightheadedness, erectile dysfunction). Because of this, many find their health and energy dramatically improves once they start consuming healthy salts.
​  This article will cover some of the key dangers associated with salt restriction and strategies for locating the healthiest natural salts.
​  Many medical policies are driven more by profit than by evidence of what truly benefits patients. Because of this, we frequently see medicine refuse to ever discuss the things that are making us sick (e.g., numerous studies show vaccines make children 2-10X more likely to develop chronic illnesses that are now widespread) while in tandem, we are relentlessly pressured to put all focus onto a few things which do not make enough money for lobbyists to defend them.​   https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/what-they-never-tell-us-about-salt

  The Gulf-Stream/AMOC has been weakening for decades.  Climate scientists claim Gulf Stream could be near collapse — predicting a new ice age

Per the new findings, the at-risk current in question is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, a “conveyor belt of the ocean” that funnels warm water toward the ocean surface from the tropics to the Northern Hemisphere.
​  This current, which includes the Gulf Stream that runs from the Gulf of Mexico to the US East Coast and across the Atlantic to Europe, helps maintain the mild climate of Europe, the UK and the US East Coast...
..The presence of the marine hot pocket appears to suggest that the current slowdown has been occurring for decades and could foment a total decline before the end of the century, per the study.​..

..By examining observational data dating back to 1960, the research team discovered that the mid-depth warming trend that spiked in the late 2000s, indicating that the AMOC’s decline began in the late 20th century...
..Should the AMOC slow down too much, they claim, it could have significant ramifications. These include the extreme suggestion that temperatures across Europe to drop by nearly 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
​  “Winters would be more typical of Arctic Canada and precipitation would decrease, also,” Jonathan Bamber, a professor of Earth observation at the University of Bristol, told the Daily Mail.
​  Coincidentally, the last time the AMOC collapsed was before the last Ice Age that ended about 12,000 years ago, Reuters reported.​   https://nypost.com/2025/11/12/science/gulf-stream-on-the-verge-of-collapse-scientists-warn/

​  How Japan Saved its Forests: The Birth of Silviculture and Community Forest Management​                                                                                                Three hundred years ago Japan was on a course of rapacious deforestation that was turning the nation’s landscape into a wasteland. Community management of village forests was a tipping point that launched a new era of professional silviculture which spread from village to village, restoring Japan’s forests. It saved the nation from ecological disaster.
​  Japan had a serious deforestation problem 300 years ago, a consequence of unsustainable forest use that had been building up for a long time (Totman 1989). As long ago as 600-850 AD, construction booms in Nara and Heian, along with demands of the ruling elite for timber to supply armies and build castles and religious monuments, had caused serious deforestation in the Kinai region. Forest use was “exploitative”. Timber and other forest products where taken without regard to replenishing the supply.
​  Villagers throughout Japan had depended for many centuries on a variety of non-timber forest products essential to their survival.​   https://ecotippingpoints.com/our-stories/indepth/japan-community-forest-management-silviculture/
