Re: AE's Journal Round 6 - Navigating the Liminal Space
Thank you for explaining about zazen. About subpersonalities, it's not just Plotkin and Jung; there's many therapy branches that would ask, "if your adhd was a person, who would they be? what would they look like? how old? appearance? gender?" This one guy in a demonstration therapy sessio...

Re: The Education of Axel Heyst
Sometimes it's nice to just relax into the mediocrity of going along with someone else's plan/vision for a bit, but nobody really acknowledges this. I think in order to really embrace freedom more people need to realize and explicitly grapple with the hard things about freedom. What does relaxing i...

Re: AE's Journal Round 6 - Navigating the Liminal Space
AE, I meant to ask you but I keep forgetting -- you've spoken in the past about meditation feeling depersonalizing. What is it about the meditation you're doing now that's useful rather than depersonalizing compared to your previous efforts? How are you meditating differently?

If your friend deploys, will you stay with your grandfather or would you stay on his property and keep watch over it?

Re: The Education of Axel Heyst
Forums suffer from selection bias. It's the loners for whom the distance of a written medium provides comfort, and those who want to prey on them.* I suspect many of the abovementioned artists, dirtbags, and so forth just begin living and naturally form ties with similar-minded others in the process...

Re: Journal
If you're on a homestead, you could hold a summer camp of sorts, too, where small groups of children can learn the basics of growing your own food etc. You might or might not be into it liability wise, but I've seen people with rural property (granted, outside of the US) open their places to either ...

Here are my thoughts on protecting against inflation: The three major categories of consumer spending are housing, transportation, and food. 1. When it comes to housing, own. Whether outright (best), or w mortgage (still good as gvts have debt to inflate away so interest rates are likely to rise slo...

b2, given your interests in both education and intentional communities + your ability to live vlcol due to ere, it might be the best fit for you to get into teaching groups of homeschooled children or free-range "pursue their own stoke" children (unschooling). It's an idea.

Re: The Education of Axel Heyst
An IC someone I know of which works well (through someone who lives there) is not marketed as an intentional community at all but as a trailer park. The owners serve as "benevolent planners" in the 50s economics sense of the word. Rent is kept very low. Amenities and public areas are very ...

I have a similar one, having bought Trash Place, the hoarder home of what was at one point an intellectually curious engineering professor at my home town's local university.

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta
This is maybe a bit of a tangent, but I've been reading Gradual Awakening by the judgily self-righteous Miles Neale. It's a good book if one can ignore the judgy self-righteousness, which, being on this forum, most should be able to do :lol: . I recommend it. The book is a "for noobs" desc...
