after living closer to nature for a few years now, ive started to believe something about cities that i didnt before. i now believe cities create an environment where it is very easy to lose touch with reality. nature teaches you about reality. but the collective agreement of cities creates energy that can be rooted in all manner of distractions, strange conclusions, and ambitions. and if you don’t understand how to combat those things, youll find yourself drifting into agreement with whatever mob of people you exist within. its not impossible to stay grounded in a city, but it requires conscious effort.

It’s the same as having most of your human interaction electronically or other than face-to-face. On the other hand, while I have abhorred living in cities in the past, there is the benefit of being able to be anonymous and completely disappear into the mix if you need to. But I sure wouldn’t want to be caught living in a city during an SHTF event.

before i got married and we bought this property, it had been my intention to buy a dilapidated warehouse in an industrial area, move an rv inside it, build out aquaponics, solar, hidden and guerrilla gardens, hidden networks, etc.

sell produce to local restaurants on the downlow.

still think about it sometimes.

but i love this life now. 🙂

I can’t wait to get on an acreage. But we’re growing quite a bit of food on a small lot in a small village now
