I also loved this vid. Its a very very good look at an analytical guy (reads INTJ stack through and through) who is trying to solve the problems one at a time with what he has and what is accessible and seems to always be running a number of interesting trials. I especially loved that the whole time he was talking, there were just tons of kids running around and having the time of their lives in this little slice of magical fairyland. Overall one of the coolest general systems creations I have seen, and you gotta love the guy who will just go on and on and on for what was probably hours or half a day or something about the massive incredible interconnected systems basically all built back before any of this was feasible with solar panels. I also love the iterative building he seemed to embody, and how much thought was going into all the things he built and finding the best ways of doing things through trial and error since for most of his life there was nobody to ask and nothing else to reference.theanimal wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 8:40 pmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03jgK_9aWoM
There are a few tenants on his property he doesn't charge rent, but rather has them do one hour of work on something on the property each day. Covers lots of different topics we touch on here, debt free living, off grid, self reliance, renewable energy, permaculture and more.
Filed this one away as another inspiring example of what I'd like to be like at 68 years old.
For those who watched Hypernormalisation, you will remember Vladislav Surkov. Here is a snipped of the section where Surkov is introduced.Ego wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2016 10:24 pmA new Adam Curtis - HyperNormalisation

A history of management by crisis.
A Self Reliance oasis for like minded souls seeking credible knowledge, insight and authenticity, welcome home
SkillCult is not a survival, homesteading, prepping, or primitive skills channel, but it kind of is. It is motivated, less by fear of a disastrous future, (however valid) and more by wonder at the world of ideas, knowledge, resources and possibilities we walk through daily, but which is unnoticed by most. It’s about a hunger to point ourselves in a direction where we grow to become more self reliant, more self contained, and as a result, less like helpless adult babies suckling at the toxic teat of industrial society. In short, it is about free thinking and empowerment through knowledge and skill, and the true confidence and power that those bring to our lives, ongoing, however and wherever we live.
I strive to make this a life raft of insight in a sea of mediocre information.
