I have received a number of questions from people on why I am so infatuated with permaculture as my model for how to regenerate capitalism. Many people are waking up to the limitations of our current winner/take all model for capitalism and also to the limits of the current sustainable and impact investment strategies. The predominant impact and sustainable investment strategies are linear, zero-sum game strategies similar to regular investment strategies. This is not the revolutionary catalyst we need to address the complex, interrelated problems in our world. However, it is an exciting trend that so many people are actively participating to change the existing predatory financial practices. There are numerous creative and inspiring ways for people to work together to create the exponential change we need today using natural intelligence as an inspiration and a guide. We move from iterative to revolutionary change following this path that nature lays out for us. Greenwashing and “narrative shaping” are far more difficult using a natural framework like this. There are billions of years of evolution and the wisdom of the ancients guiding us on this path. One does not own or invent something like permaculture. They are principles that help us understand very deeply who we really are, how we are connected to each other and to nature. Advances in science and technology like complexity science, chaos theory, quantum science, and nonlinear mathematics are confirming this ancient natural wisdom. I thought it was time to shed light on this important subject, at least from my point of view.
Why is Permaculture So Important?
Using Nature’s Intelligence to Take Advantage of Evolved Nash Equilibrium Principles to Unlock Value and Support Entrepreneurs Overlooked by Most of the Investment Community

Our “Phoenix Investing” service area involves investing research on the following: 1) multi-capitalization public equities and 2) digital assets for experiential learning of how to apply our living systems investing principles (we do not chase the herd, instead seeking pockets of real value creation).
Investors can expect a mixture of written content as well as podcasts, live webinars, and videos with interdisciplinary experts. We are not investment advisors to invest at your own risk. This is for educational purposes only.
Both our areas of focus tend to be volatile and risky with big sell offs following large bubbles and then rising again. Both areas can benefit from our natural intelligence perspective, which is unique for finding opportunities away from the herd and managing layers of risks not possible using other approaches.
We focus on the edge of chaos in misunderstood, overlooked, off the radar, and turnaround situations. It is a fun service area. Keep in mind that this is not a typical investment research product. We discuss coherence and alignment as it relates to our living systems investing principles with the intention of helping to unblock value in these important companies and projects. Phoenix Investing is tightly integrated with The Pythia Scrolls.
We also give members a chance to present their own ideas, as long as they use our natural intelligence systems principles.
We discuss global companies that are both coherent and incoherent with the principles. The degree of coherence is especially helpful in determining which companies have the best systemic value propositions and which ones are exposed to the most risk during these liminal times. We also use the principles to brainstorm about how to help companies with exciting products and services that may be struggling and do not fit very well in the current winner take all system.
You can make venture capital-like returns with our strategies over shorter time frames. However, there is also much more volatility and risk, so our focus and approach is not for the risk averse. Some areas where we focus can be highly predatory and the companies illiquid, but we also focus on newly emerging industries and exciting new trends. We use game theory principles in their higher potential with the intention to support these important edge entrepreneurs. We seek high integrity investors, as this space attracts many sleazy people who do not care about systemic value creation.
“Phoenix Investing” is highly synergistic with and integrated into our foundational service area “The Pythia Scrolls” (interdisciplinary, networked intelligence and living systems investing trends research) and is the only way to access “Phoenix Investing” content.
