I can't stop posting pictures of poop, what the fuck is wrong with me? Level: 5 CS Original | who exactly is he? Have any previous posts he made? I remember something in Peter Merola's topic called "no one gets it" where a guy mentions RBEF and RBOSE, I check back later and I no longer see the post I believe I have a archive of that. Looks like the censor anybody talking about RBEF or RBOSE but I'm unsure if it was ant doing it. | |||||

Level: 6 CS Original | His name is Tony, he has a (very basic) website with some suggestions about building communes and making group decisions. I once talked to him on Skype to give him some tips on how to market his 3D-printer and he seemed like a nice guy with some good ideas. | |||||

Level: 0 CS Original | Which links to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qOpJC7hy-8& I don't really know why they get labelled communist though, looks more like profit sharing to me! Low and behold... is VTV going to be the next person banned for mentioning about communes ? Ant wants to build one, and here is an example of one! A working one at that.. For some of their income they make hammocks and sell $3.5 million worth of them a year I hear! But, they do have to work 43 hours a week.. And what else is this in the thread, shock horror! Someone actually lives there and is on the TZM forums! Quick, someone ban him for talking about communes... For those interested, a bit more digging finds out that when they changed over from a dictatorship model to a democracy based one, it appears they voted out the person who helped start it and who wanted to continue to see it expand.. I guess they was happy once all the housing was up, that no one really wanted to push the envelope much and develop a cure for cancer or anything.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kat_Kinkade</p> http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/27/us/27kinkade.html</p> She then left when they voted against installing air conditioning.. (Apparently its very hot there..) She then started up another commune or two I hear, one of which was: This caught my eye about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:East_Wind_Community > I had the horid experience of visiting Eastwind a few years back. It's a beautiful Kinda makes me think of what a TZM community could be like if you let it get that bad.. Also reminds me a little of where I live at the moment, which I suppose could be described as community living.. (Loads of people crammed into a single house..) To be fair though, one of my new neighbours did help me briefly the other day chop down a tree that was growing up through some cycles of ours, he asked if I was Polish and seemed confused when I mentioned I was born here and not Polish! Yes, believe it or not, native Britains can live in poverty too.. Anyhow, a review of mentioned community: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0508/feature7/index.html</p> > they run a business making nut butters—peanut, almond, cashew, macadamia—that Nice :-) Shouldn't TZM being doing something like that... Back to the TZM thread: > Had they the resources for automation, it may have been a different story, and Perhaps some can see (Probably everyone here at least..) that if they made more money, they could afford automation, eg. they could head towards RBE.. (Whatever that is..) > When it comes time to start our first community we must look and research at previous Ah, that one shot thing again.. As if you can't make a mistake, try again. > a lot of people here have been suggesting the construction of the first city Indeed.. (And apparently being banned for it..) (But wait, VTV is talking about, and going to do a radio show about intentional communities, so now its ok ?) > a very large part of what makes the RBE model work , and cut down dramatically on the Indeed yes, lots of money.. So, we had better push the envelope a little and start more businesses, I quite fancy a car factory myself and was pondering just last night how I might get my workers doing only 20 hours work a week and provide them with free housing, perhaps I could even build a geothermal power station to supply juice to the homes and factory! I was pondering a courtyard design for the housing, with maybe the factory underground in the middle, so topside its a park, as residents around here want parks they say on former industural sites.. > Which is why in his radio address today, Peter said, we must tread lightly and Yes, heaven forbid we might go from being homeless or living in dreadful cockroach infested overcrowded conditions with the threat of being homeless tomorrow, to a nice plush apartment like our dear friend PJ enjoys.. Twin Oaks doesn't appear to have treaded carefully... Yet no NWO hitsquad has decended upon them and Waco style removed them.. People seem to be building communes and communities left right and centre.. Even Henry Ford wanted to! Sounds quite capitalist to me.. Its perhaps of note that Twin Oaks at one point had a variable work schedual, I guess to deal with the supply and demand issue of dealing with shortages of labour in specific areas, eg. perhaps not enough toilet cleaners, so lower the amount of working hours you need to do if you do that.. Now they have a, equal work approach, so if you do hard labour of 40 odd hours, its considered the same as if you sit and look after kids for the same amount of time.. Not sure how that would work on a larger scale myself.. Also to note: http://www.twinoaks.org/FAQ.html#econ</p> > Our tax status reflects our income-sharing--we are a 501(d) entity which is based on For those interested, there are some articles about it whose index page seems to have vanished, but none the less are still visible here: http://www.twinoaks.org/community/media/articles</p> One such person who once lived there and since left, has this site: Meanwhile, a short google away is this: http://www.salon.com/books/feature/2010/08/15/in_utopia_interview</p> > New Songdo City, which is slated to be finished in 2015, is the most expensive Meanwhile, I was looking up about basalt rebar and stumbled across this: http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/08/10000-monolithic-dome-ecoshells-for.html</p> Which links to: http://www.dftw.org/stories/indonesias-first-dome-village</p> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7215853930650353093# Hopefully some of this is useful to VTV if he is watching :-) | |||||
