Just Make It Better

This is for all you country girls and small town boys. And for anyone who is somewhere dreaming they could take the leap to make a change. If you dream of getting out from where you are but don’t believe you can, this post is for you.

I was raised in upstate New York, in a small town with two stoplights. The place consists of very little: mainly obese townies, neglected property and a large amount of livestock. It’s a safe, sheltered place to keep your kids simple and out of as much trouble as possible.

Someone shared this amazing idea with me today. It’s a TED Talks video and it’s an intelligent, original idea. In the video, Joshua Klein talks about how we could use a crow’s superior intelligence to benefit society rather then extinguish them.

He explains how the these animals and others like it withstand human development by adapting to the surroundings we’ve created.

Klein goes on to show surprising research that demonstrates a crow’s swift thinking skills while making their living. His intention with this was to show an alternative to population control.
