This type of thinking makes a lot of sense to me and is where my tendencies lie as well, anon. And really, there are a lot of folks who are actively engaged in pursuing and creating such communities right now. The problem to me seems more that it can be hard to connect with like minded folks at this stage for a whole host of reasons. The technology piece is a tough angle, though, given how reliant everyone has become in this current iteration of society convincing people that life can actually be better without it is a tough sell. But, it does seem the forced bifurcation of society that is taking place right now is lending a hand to the filtering process already. It’s a strange place to be standing here at the fork as all of this comes about. I for one have always preferred taking the slower route, working by hand eschewing machines whenever possible when working with the land or doing landscaping work for clients. It feels like God blessed me with that mental outlook in order to prepare me for what is coming down the pike now. But it’s det been like sailing up stream the last couple of decades, rarely, if ever, coming across others who felt similar. Anyway, your post spoke to my heart and very happy to know others out there are thinking along the same lines, anon!
