I'm willing to bet he's not a weabo, just a hippie - and that the philosopher in question is Masanobu Fukuoka, author of "The One-Straw Revolution".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masanobu_FukuokaDude's pretty famous among organic farmers, advocates managing your land in a way that mimics a natural ecosystem, no need for tilling, weeding, fertilizing, etc...
Pretty obvious he's never bothered to look up what Mr. Fukuoka's farm actually looks like, though (pic related).
