And society's workforce... It is nothing but an extension of the classroom. The more I really think about it, the more it looks like traditional school (the school for domesticated humans), was developed to turn us into obedient little workers... In other words: TO BE GOOD SLAVES.
Yep.
As insane as it sounds, we are the ones who built the system as we know it.
This is a deep, deep rabbit hole. I'm not sure that we built this system but collectively we are supporting it through our participation.
This is another reason that I am very interested in the @ecotrain ecoVillage concept because, at the moment, there really is no viable, demonstrable alternative that a person or family can choose. Yes, there are people homesteading on their own, etc but this is a very difficult road which makes it an unlikely alternative for large numbers of people.
I'm envisioning a reality where there are many ecoVillage communities around the world, offering an alternative model that is up and running and working. In other words, a real choice. It's like... create a great life and then help others do the same if they voluntarily want to do so.
And than you also have my own project that is in the making now. I will need to make an updated post, but if you're interested in living close to New York City in that same philosophy, please contact me.
I DM'd you on Discord.
Ah wow... yes I share this same dream. Sometimes I imagine a web of all these ecovillages where as one we are a community welcoming one another to come and go when help or fun is needed.
Going to check on that PM now... thanks!
