Re: Quail Haven, an ERE Mountain Enclave

I really want to encourage people to take AxelHeyst up on this amazing offer! He was gracious enough to host me September 2023 (which I chronicled in part here ). It was a terrific experience! We had a lot of fun. While at Quail Haven, a typical day would look like this: Wake up, watch the sunrise W...

Re: Ego's Journal

I've recently got 600 euro back by directly going to the website. You should have gotten a flyer with information about your rights. You can of course use a third party, but all I had to do was fill out an online form on the airline's website and wait for a bit.

Re: ERE Fest 2023: Ft Dirtbag

I see twenty pass by as an ideal number. Our countryside place could be a really good fit for a future European ERE gettogether next summer. If my wife doesn't veto the idea, that is :-) That sounds amazing loutfard! I'll be in touch with you to discuss this, because it might be a great option. And...

Re: ERE Fest 2023: Ft Dirtbag

So 13 of the 19 had personal ties to each other or at least their group before they attended ERE Fest. Interesting. I would bet that made them much more comfortable to commit knowing they at least knew others beforehand and wouldn't be the odd man out. Maybe some of you guys that attended can chime...

Re: ERE Fest 2023: Ft Dirtbag

Poles are okay I had them in carry on numerous times. I am talking the flexible some-sort-of-fibre with a rubber string pulled through, unsure about the old school aluminium ones but think they’re not used for 2 person tents anyway. I wish this happened in Europe by the way, I would totally plan an...

Re: ERE Fest 2023: Ft Dirtbag

EREFest has concluded. A(t least a) three day weekend where many forumites gathered to experience desert living, workshops and share the ERE lifestyle. In this post I will do a write-up of how the weekend was structured. I encourage attendees (like they already did) to share their experiences as wel...

Re: Veronica's Journal of Madness

Sorry to hear this, Veronica! Do you get any severance? And I don't quite get why they mention your eligibility for rehire when there is a skill mismatch, am I missing something?

What line of work were you in?

Stories of the Desert Kings

Serenity. It is what I am. And it is where I am. All my live I have lived in cities. I have lived apartments, I have lived in houses. I have lived in the suburbs and I have lived downtown. But this month, I live like a Desert King. During my career, I have always had ample time saved away. Not just ...

Re: What would you do if you got zeroed out tomorrow?

A very interesting question @AH! I'll write my own plan later, but first some abstract thoughts/observations. This thought exercise can be done for two reasons: 1. To stress test the tensegrity/tensile strength of your Web of Goals (WoG). How robust is your lifestyle design? How many hits can your W...

Hi Rube, thanks for checking in! Now that spring is in full swing all is well in house, gardens and love. I haven't planted much in the garden this season, but I am enjoying the spontaneous flowers that have sprung up in the past few months. FIRE wise, I've hit the OG ERE mark, so JLF_ERE achieved! ...

Do you already have a backup plan of cheap housing if you feel the urge to move at some point? What does y...

Great initiative AxelHeyst, I'll be there! Do you need any help setting up beforehand?

Other ideas:

- burpee competition to settle it once and for all who the Burpee King is
- WoG workshops
- Rock climbing (dunno if it's near Ft Dirtbag?)
- Land sailing in the desert
- ...

Looking forward to it!

Re: Alternatives to classical logic

I really enjoyed tinkering with intuitionistic logic in my undergrad. It sounds alike to computability logic. Reductio ad absurdum is no longer allowed, so you can only use proofs by construction. Furthermore, default logic is also very interesting since it is non-monotonic. In classical logic, if p...
