Interesting. The
permaculture people I've actually
met, and the ones I've 'met' online, have all very much valued the intellectual.
After all, it's a pretty 'thinky' thing, this
permaculture business
A big part of what I like about permaculture is that I need to conceptualise, theorise, intelectualise (and a whole bunch o0f other 'ises')
in order to do stuff-even some fairly brainless physical activities require plenty of planning etc beforehand, or it's a waste of time!

I don't have much in the way of taboos,
but I do have a quite
permies-specific one: I get really jumpy when there's any assumptions about people's spiritual affiliations.
I say permies because NZ and the USA have very different religious cultures-over here, a large majority consider themselves to have 'no religion'.

I'd generally avoid talking about
1080 poison, flouridation and vaccinations, as my opinion differs from the vast majority of my 'crowd'.
