This change is starting in housing.
At Conara Homes we're working to improve the ability of people to take an active, powerful ownership stake in their societies while preserving freedom of movement and avoiding debt.
It's a large challenge.

How many forms how many times a year do we need to fill out to be able to be free commercially? Are you free if you can be fined and thrown in jail for not filling out paperwork?
It all adds up and doesn’t add any value.
I think it’s truly mind blowing a computer can now simulate some of the best conversations I’ve ever had on a variety of topics.
If you can find good ways to charge for your time in a sustainable way and get some support around you it’s amazing. However the paperwork and admin can be a bit challenging to someone used to a simpler and set up environment.
Reach out and let’s talk. I’ve been doing it for a few years now and love it.
As this grows i imagine we can coordinate large groups of people towards goals Like improving local communities, permaculture, and goals from the effective altruism community.
Is that because of what it did to you and your life or because of the stress on your parents?
Want to reach out to me via my email please?
I'd love to make a 2d pokemon like game based on real world interactions that can be fun to play, include teaching social skills and business skills and life skills, and have the same joy and fun adventurousness as pokemon.
Would love to find a way to work together on something like that. I have a ton of fun real world experiences we could build in / characters / etc. and a vast idea world. A friend actually has a sci-fi universe of sorts and we could do some fun simple design around some of his plots. Lots of ideas. Would love to collaborate.
I'll reach out and would love to be a user / tester / customer. I notice the .dmg doesn't allow me to open on my Mac bc its from an unsigned dev - if anyone else gets that just go to System Preferences and Security to unblock.
Most times I see the front page of youtube I'm happy they take me into my own universe of interests.
The past year I’ve fallen in love with life. This has been a combo of a few things - I found work as a consultant where I get to share a unique perspective that when paired with the work of others produces outsized results.
I get paid moderately well by nearly a dozen clients but am the lowest paid team member on each team on a monthly basis - so I don’t feel too much pressure to deliver exceptional results all the time - and the number of clients I have means if I get 1 win a year for all clients I can have a true win each month professionally.
These wins and experiences make me feel like I’m growing and contributing.
Aside from that I’ve developed open and honest relationships with my lover and my friends and see them regularly and I live with housemates so I get my extraversion solved through work and natural interactions even in covid. The honest relationships with my lover and number and depth of friendships has allowed me to not hold any desires back from asking while having less pressure to be the doer of everything. Teams and ideas naturally form over time which has led to fun side projects and profit as well.
I prefer now to give perspective rather than advice but I’d say having a “deal centric” attitude and meeting a lot of people and trying to start things with them - usually based on some process that provides value so you have a process to lean on - seems pretty solid.
For instance building internal portals for small teams or organizations and taking a small ongoing fee to do it could help you. Instead of project based work with a time bound - low to moderate monthly fees with a variety of people can allow you to find creative energy where product management, analytics, etc can help other peoples visions come true over years.
You can see visions come to life without too much stress and avoid a single point of failure.
Happy Christmas and lmk if you’d like to work together on something like this.
Seeing things as landscapes, gradients, allows for choosing where to be on the spectrum.
So climate change is happening? What will you do?
I've been a big fan but this series of videos is tempering my understanding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-FGwDDc-s8
