Re: ERE City (US)
Grist, not an argument: Simon Sarris on culture/movements/scenes being created in small spaces and then assembled in larger ones . Large places may be culturally successful not because they are large, but because they are capable of drawing out the exceptional from smaller places. What Rome, jazz, a...

Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)
As far as I see the overlap is rather small. ... I think you are right. I do think 'most people with ecological literacy spend a fair amount of time out of doors' is true, but the inverse is not. "Get people outdoors so they'll care about it" has been a drumbeat solution of old school con...

jng I think you would dig Hakim Bey's Temporary Autonomous Zone (TAZ) idea. tldr he is an anarchist who wrote about letting go of the idea of 'permanent' utopias/revolutions/bases/etc in favor of a dynamic insurrectionary spirit that is cool with holding and letting go, building and rotting, rising ...

Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)
I think my initial aversion to Rander's point comes down to a concern that following his advice will lead to a further loss of understanding of how the non-human world works and how it is foundational to everything humans have. My understanding of the world is that a lack of ecological literacy is o...

Re: ERE Skillathon 2024
Update/Reflection An opportunity to pursue a side hustle flared up out of left field and I've significantly dialed back the ambition on my skillathon plan.

Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)
This ties into the Randers2052 argument that it is strategically preferred to focus on [technological-type] abstraction, which is predictably and eventually going to end up comprising most of the world within a few decades (as increasing number of affluent humans take over the last vestiges of natu...

I should clarify that I love extroverts and cherish their company just as much as introverts. I greatly appreciate extroverted energy and vibe in my life (most of my irl friends are extroverts).

Re: 4th, 5th, 6th Person Perspective
The point is to carry the/a culture so it doesn't have to be invented from scratch if it is forgotten. I think these ecotopias can be seen in the same way. It's not about the building. It's about the idea that someone can build such a place and that alternatives exist. It's essentially carrying on ...

Quail Haven, an ERE Mountain Enclave
Quail Haven is where I live. It's 70acres/28hectares of drylands tucked just inside a mountain pass in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. I have a long term vision for QH as it relates to ERE, postconsumer praxis, the flotilla, etc. The purpose of this thread is to a) document the process an...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta
Great writeups. On the last point, I think one failure mode is attempting to rush modern humans into dependent relationships with e.g. income sharing. There are a few communities out there where that seems to work and that's great, but I think it's also wise to take a 'meet people where they're at' ...

ERE City questionnaire. 1) Are you interested in "ERE city" if it means moving there? I'd only move to ERE City if my current situation zero'd out. Otherwise, I'd be willing to visit potentially 1-3mo/yr. 2) Are you interested in "ERE city" if it happens grow around where you alr...

I think we need to do something similar. Two things need to be answered: 1) How do EREmites want to live?

Re: ERE City (US)
Is it fair to say that most scenes follow clubs? Your blog came first. MMM's blog came first. Do we have examples of scenes that formed without a club that first paved the way or created a nucleus? I'm not suggesting that clubs inevitably will produce scenes. I wonder if there are design guidelines ...

Re: Whole-Food, Plant-based Diet is ERE
Seems like conceptually WFPB is "get ingredients and assemble yourself, mostly or entirely plants." I note that some WFPB people are not vegan. Yep, that's pretty ERE - insourcing the skill and production of meals, rather than exchanging money for those services/competencies. Passes the Po...
