Any one coming to post here in this thread must believe beyond any shadow of a doubt in the holy pseudo-scientific trinty of Free Energy, Chi (Ki, Prana, Life force energy etc.) and Astral Projection. If you don't have 100% faith in the holy trinity, then then you might find this boaring, and I would prefer to talk to like minded peopl.<br><br>
Firstly, let me introduce my self. I'm 25, New Zealand born Dane, currently living in China with my Chinese wife, and casually teaching english, however we're both leaving to Demark soon, where we'll stay for a bit before returning to NZ. I'm vigorously active in Tai Chi Chuan and meditation, plus I have a keen interest in science and technology, so I tend to look at things in an all inclusive, holistic way. And of cause, I'm a vegan.<br><br>
I'm searching for like minded individuals, who don't HAVE TO be vegan, to start a Sustainable, High-Tech, Holistic, Scientific, freegan, Vegan Commune with, involving the scientific and holistic method (which may involve esoteric and "spiritual" knowledge) applied to social concern.<br><br><br>
The community may be a little crued to start with, for example we might initially live in tents and houses made of mud, but we'll incorporate what ever more high tech methods we have at our disposal at the same time. At first, whatever we can get away with doing the low-tech way we do the low-tech way, and we incorporate the high tech way where ever we can initially afford to. Also, it might initially involve a bit of "freeganism", whereby teams of individuals will going around "scavenging" and aquiring what ever bits of used technology, machinery and tools they can get their hands on. In short I'd like to steer away from the monetary and conventional economic system as much as possible, as I don't believe it's a good idea to use it too much in trying to start a community which is free from it.<br><br>
My basic idea for running the whole thing is to have a team of specialists, i.e. by gathering a leading team with technical leadership skills, on the basis of specialized knowledge and performance, rather than democratic election of those without the knowledge or skill necessary. This team not only consisting of "Physical scientists" but also psychologists, sociologists etc. and also holistic, esoteric and spiritual specialists. However, methods which exploit living creatures for the purpose of scientific research, will all obviously be omitted.<br><br>
I suppose, you could think of it as a kind of Anarchy (when I say "anarchy" I'm not referring to the interpritation which implies political disorder or lawlessness within a society, rather a society without a publicly enforced government or violently enforced political authority), with the exception of a team of specialists apointed say via a system of meritocracy, who are merely there to advise us where ever we might need it, make suggestions, and perhaps help correct things in case they really got out of hand.<br><br><br><br>
This is just my basic idea for now, it's always open to individual input, nothing is really fixed or concrete, only that it must be sustainable and involve the scientific and holistic methods applied to social concern, as I mentioned. However I feel I should mostly only accept input from people who are genuinly interested and/or want to be part of it.
