We're living through the Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore, while the government stomps its uncaring boot on our necks. But there's an easy way to fight back: Care.

As a farmer, the best advice I can give you right now for dealing with the horrors of the world is to start a garden. Anything you can grow yourself right now is going to be more valuable than gold in the very near future.

Tear up your yard, get some pots on your patio, turn the empty downtown lot into a community garden or CSA, get some plant lights in your house, build a pvc hydroponic system, throw some herbs in the window, however you can do it, do it.

Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.

A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."

People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.

Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.
