I’m searching for land right now. Looking for rolling hills, woodland and a water source. Probably it will be either New Hampshire or somewhere in the southeastern US.

Thanks for commenting!

I’d definitely like to get some land and have a try at this.

The idea that I’d have to get involved in producing it for myself rather than rely on the apparently compromised market processes is a little frightening and to be honest even a bit of enraging in the same way that the existence of the state is enraging. Makes me wanna curse humanity, yet I know ultimately that’s irrational because I suppose however terrible it is, it’s just an evolutionary stage.

What inspires however is the idea that permaculture isn’t exactly like rural life that I knew. It’s something new and something that operates on principles I absolutely adore – not working against nature and reality and kinda forcing it to be the way we imagine it has to be, but rather just tweaking a few natural variables and letting it do the rest of the job, what it does best. I think this has strong parallels to voluntaryism and market anarchism as well. It’s precisely that: don’t force other people into your idea of good. Let them flourish on their own terms and everyone will be better off.

Permaculture almost seems like a kind of a voluntaryism applied to agriculture, but maybe I’m stretching it.

The best technologies operate on the same principle as well, working with natural world rather than against it, to empower the human individual.

I have one option which allows me to engage with permaculture *almost* right away if I wanted to, but it comes with a lot of issues many of which aren’t even due to my variness or rural life. I’m wondering if there are other options. I don’t have to live it to support others doing it, or at least I don’t have to live it today or this or next year. I wanted to move to NH and/or be a perpetual traveller instead (since I have an online business).

In any case, you and this video has got me very very intrigued and interested, enough that I’ll be doing further research on these issues and permaculture as well as other methods and technologies that could be used to weather this coming storm.

Thank you!
