這次的武漢肺炎，不斷地讓我想到在2017年在意大利參與EDE(生態社群設計教育課程)
「真正的生態村」＿＿我指的不是商業自然觀光園區，而是一群人為了與環境與同伴更永續的生活所建構出來的生活模式。
當中不斷提及自給自足（self-sustainability）的重要性，當時還不能理解，為什麼我們需要自給自足？這個世界這麼方便，大家分工不是很好嗎？
現在的肺炎狀況，讓我不禁反思，在即將面離極端環境時代的我們（或者說正在面臨）自給自足顯然成為了必要的生存模式。
在Helena Norberg-Hodge這位語言學與人類學研究者的電影《快樂經濟》當中，她說道，當她第一次踏入拉達克時，所有的人都在笑，他們圍在一起織布、一起種植、在過程中歌唱。所有他們生活所需要的事物他們都能夠靠自己的雙手變出來。他們是她見過最富足與快樂的人。
多年後拉達克開放了，人們知道了手機、Nike，同一位她曾遇過的年輕人坐在路邊騎討「可憐可憐我吧，我是如此的貧窮。」
在上到世界經濟的部分，我印象深刻當時在歐洲，西班牙賣的是義大利的番茄、義大利卻賣西班牙的橘子。
因為這樣才可能創造「經濟」GDP才可能提升，才可能「富有」。
食物最營養與最美味的方式當然是離產地越近越好， 你想吃一顆來自你家後院的番茄，還是橫跨大西洋、印度洋高雄港口、用貨車送到你家附近的商店包在塑膠包裝裡的那顆。但我們卻對這一切如此的習以為常。
我們需要國際的交流，我們需要，但我們真正需要的交流是什麼？
我不知道台灣能撐多久，我也不知道當我們面臨最大的疫情時我們會創造出什麼樣的生活。但我知道現在最珍貴的會是土地。接下來的時代最重要的會是農夫、還有會自己蓋房子的、可以穿梭自然與自然和平共處的人，當然還有網路，透過這個媒介去傳遞真理。
前幾天看到了我義大利前劇團的公開信
全員隔離在家，除非要去藥局與超市
一切活動通通停止。
我在思考，那人們的錢從哪來？
沒有工作那怎麼生活？
那些本來工作給錢的一方的錢又去了哪？
當經濟活動停止，錢去了哪？從哪裡來？
誰能付錢邀劇團演出
邀請單位的錢又從哪來？
政府補助？企業贊助？
政府與企業的錢從哪來？
人民？
人民又從哪？
服務業？教育？餐飲？工廠？
最後發現一切的錢從土地來
從菜、樹、礦石、沙子、水、風、泥土
土地，一直都在等著，等著我們發現繞了一圈後
我們需要的還是土地。
我們究竟要旅行多久，才能發現我們在找的一直都在這裡？
今年十月，我預計與我的夥伴 Hema Wu在優人開設全台灣第一次的EDE，內容包含生態、世界觀、社群、經濟等不同面向。為期三週，全面討論人類生存的可能。
This Covid-19 constantly reminds me of participating in EDE (Ecological Village Design Education )in Italy in 2017
“A True Eco-village" I am not referring to a commercial nature tourism park, but a living model constructed by a group of people for a more sustainable life with the environment and companions.
It kept mentioning the importance of self-sustainability, and I was not understood the importance at the time, why do we need self-sufficiency? The world is so convenient.
The current situation of pneumonia makes me can't help thinking about it. In the time of extreme environment, self-sufficiency have obviously become the necessary survival mode.
In the film Happy Economy by Helena Norberg-Hodge, a linguistic and anthropological researcher, she said that when she first stepped into Ladakh, everyone was laughing and they were weaving together , Planting together, singing together. They can make everything they need in their own hands. They are the richest and happiest people she has ever seen.
After many years Ladakh opened, people knew mobile phones, Nike, and a young man she had met sat on the side of the road and asked, "Poor me, I'm so poor."
During the world economy course, I was very impressed that, Spain was selling Italian tomatoes, while Italy was selling Spanish oranges.
Because in this way, it is possible to create an "economic" GDP that can rise and become "rich."
The most nutritious and delicious way of food is of course the closer to the place of production, Do you want to eat a tomato from your backyard or across the Atlantic Ocean, the Kaohsiung port of the Indian Ocean, and truck to a store near your home. Such a habit.
Just like the import and export of Taiwan masks.
We need international communication, we need, but what is the communication we really need?
I don't know how long Taiwan can last, and I don't know what kind of life we will create when we face the biggest epidemic. But I know that the most precious thing now is land. The most important thing in the next era will be farmers, people who can build their own houses, who can shuttle nature and nature to live in peace, and of course, the Internet, to convey truth through this medium.
A few days ago I saw the open letter from my former theatre company in Italy
Isolate everyone at home, except at pharmacy and supermarket
All activities ceased.
I'm thinking, where do people's money come from?
How do you live without a job?
Where are the money of those who work and give money?
When economic activity stops, where does the money go? Where did it come from?
Who can pay to invite a troupe to perform
Where does the money for the invitation unit come from?
government subsidy? Corporate sponsorship?
Where does the government and business money come from?
people?
Where do the people come from?
Services? education? food? factory?
Finally found all the money came from the land
From vegetables, trees, ore, sand, water, wind, dirt
The land has been waiting, waiting for us to find a circle
What we need is still land.
How long do we have to travel to find that we have been looking here all along?
In October of this year, I expected to open the first EDE in Taiwan with my friend Hema Wu in U-theatre, covering different aspects of ecology, worldview, community, and economy. A three-week discussion of the possibilities of human survival.
