Re: Smelly Swiss Dilettante

Well done too! I suppose the theory exam is about conserving wildlife, so your grandchildren can hunt too. I like wildlife to watch. Yesterday late in midday I saw a beautiful deer here in an already thawed meadow near the Alpine village I live in winter. The birds are coming back. This year was ver...

Re: Mastermind Group #2: Electric Boogaloo

Our group still exists, and we have monthly meetings on discord. @Grundomatic organizes it. Today we discussed about ERE city/community. We searched what drives us to think about such a clustering. Of course the positive reactions of the recent erefest so well organized by @AxelHeyst are proof of th...

Re: A Journey of Mindfulness--the Remaking of Life in Midstream.

:arrow: Yes, go on. And read further. There are a bunch of (American) medical skilled specialists on nutrition (not connected to the “industry). See @Oey recently.
You will not become a youth anymore. But you will be a very fit person to grow old unhindered by bodily restrictions.

Re: ERE City homesteaders vs ERE Hostel Hub nomads (an AQAL perspective)

Yes I see the difference. And that it depends on each character and her experience.
As entrepreneur I have learned to realise rather complicated projects by searching and finding the people and companies who made it happen. Therefore I would rather be participating in an ERE hostel hub. Part-time.

Re: Choosing your life's calling

My life’s calling? Calling and Choose are contradictory, I think. Perhaps it is better (if you relate it to paid jobs) to speak about choosing work what suits you, what fit with your skills and hopefully with your caracter. Life‘s calling has a more esoteric meaning I think. The overarching meaning-...

Growing old as I am/do/plan/imagine. First I studied health (lifestyle) and nutrition, gone deep, looked how it works for my body and mind. And practised. So I will stay away as long as possible from the “health industry. Second, I have a plan, and realised it. As mentioned also by others: I have th...

Re: How is the FIRE movement doing?

Books with unusual (but highly attractive points of view) about how to live are inspiring. Those books let people aspire to reach such a life. After years and years, after centuries even, those books are revived by contemporary writers. Writers who translate them, who paraphrase them who make introd...
