Hola Lucien, I appreciate your passion and concerns for humanity. I am someone who is doing almost everything that you wrote about: I founded a mostly latino, artist eco-community in 2012 in Vilcabamba Ecuador (chambalabamba.org), I have been on my own spiritual path that came from experimenting with LSD in the sixties in SF and now am living my dream, living from love, always growing and learning, my partner is a certified kundalini yoga teacher. We do regenerative agriculture, have both compost and ecological water toilets, everything is organic, we have a space for children where we help guide them to become autodidactics, etc, etc.
In my opinion, communities like ours is not the solution for humanity. The problem is in the cities, and that is what must be addressed. A very small percentage could live in eco communities and most eco communities fail, because they are expensive to build and most people are so traumatized by our cultures that conflicts are a big problem. I believe everyone needs to learn non-violent communication (cnvc.org), but that is not going to happen very fast.
I hope that you are open to change your mind and refine your comprehension, as one always should be. I am speaking from experience, and always open to a better comprehension, so if you can point out how I may have come to the wrong conclusions, I will welcome that.
Very well written. This can shift the path of many people.

At the same time, I have been and continue to be a radical anarchist activist. Here is a conversation recorded Nov. 22, 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljo0AQnqNsc&t=104s.

How did you go SO DEEP on this and ignore literal biological creation? Abundance man. No future without kids.
