summary

I can tell you that my experience is that intentional communities are not only not fun, but a disaster. 00:51:53 And one of the reasons they're both not fun and a disaster is that they have a mission statement. They already know where they're going and there's some abstracted map-like idea that everyone thinks that they're cohering to. But then it turns out that everyone actually interpreted that differently and the way they interpreted it yesterday changed. And so that thing becomes 00:52:16 the territory on which you are in polarity with each other and not the thing that you agree about. The thing you fight about most is the mission statement.
Labor in a fully func-tioning Ecological Civilization will include three essentialelements.
The spiritual labor required to continuously renew our sense of individual and collective connection to all that is.

Title
Description
Reflections Overall,
Rex
Nora's perspective is the folly of abstraction that generates fixed preconceptions of aspects of nature that we then reify.
William sees our impending crash as not only inevitable, but natural.
If I can pick up on that, Rex is going back to something I said a little bit earlier about unsustainability, or at least unsustainable 00:46:47 behavior being a natural phenomenon, because we are far better than any other species at exploiting our habitats.
Well, I'll say there's a danger in that question. It's a good question and it's a question we should be asking, but there's a danger, and that is that we're going to come up with a model for ecological community and then we're going to make it happen. And that right away violates everything that Nora just pointed out. That's absolutely critically important.
