Ere and other things, A journal
Posted: Sun Aug 01, 2021 5:52 pm
So I moved to my current location about 9 months ago. Finally settling in after a long move and some other hassles along the way. i have made note of many of the resources in the town and still have an eye out for things. I don't have much. a few thousand dollars in the bank, but my credit is good, and my partner has some capital, so we may buy a house, as it is less expensive than renting in this area.
This town is very walk-able. everything is about 2 miles from everything else. It has a technical and an uppity well-to-do college. So far, I've managed to track down a free tai chi class, a bicycle coop and a makerspace. The bicycle coop and makerspace trade volunteer hours for free membership, so I am working on that.
I am also in college for philosophy. I will be taking ethics in the fall. I have a multi-tiered plan to find wise people in my area to work on that aspect of my life. I'm not religious but have been immersed in Professor John Vervaeke's work, and am interested in finding more people in my area who might want to explore that. My intention is to live the ere lifestyle, as it suits my natural tendencies well. I do have a bit of a problem in organizing my thoughts, but I'm hoping the philosophy will help me with, but who knows. I want to start learning useful skills and building some social capital. I know that our bicycle coop has an ambition of becoming a school and wants to collaborate with the technical college (who run the makerspace). So i will try and help facilitate that.
I want to learn to invent things, so to that end I plan to increase my facility with drawing. i am also continuing to work on learning to code, a project I started in 8/1/14 and have had little success, but I find it hard to quite things. Hopefully that will lead me to some kind of job that pays me more than my pharmacy tech job.
Basically working on developing the renaissance lifestyle with an ecology of practices.
What I'm currently doing
- Makerspace starting 8/9
- bicycle coop once a week
- college for philosophy
- Searching for a house
- Tai chi 1/week
- working at pharmacy
- learning to code
- learning to draw
- chipping away at building a youtube channel.
- learning math
- developing a meditation routine
I'm not sure where this will go, but hopefully this journal will help me organize my thoughts a bit. I think I need to get a bit clearer about my priorities.
