Looking for Freelancers | Some thoughts on economically meaningful community building

[covertgay]

Without divulging too much about myself herein, should I take on more than I can chew, I would love to gather contacts for freelancers with an IT skillset.

You can reach me at:

[email protected]

You may also forward this email to others. I would love to help out other rejects so we don’t all die alone in a corner. I’ve spent some time in academia (which is a complete joke in some ways) and I’m willing to teach others what I know (at a greater level than I've done before).

But stepping back and considering the bigger picture, I’ve been thinking… (Also the following is my first draft that I wrote out in a few minutes, if this sparks any interest I’ll be happy to refine and elaborate on things.)

One of the reasons why the early mormons were so hated is because they themselves were very clannish in their business dealings. They would enter into an area, complete in the local labor market, but while only doing business amongst themselves. In such a manner, capital would flow into their community and stay circulating within to the detriment of everyone else in the local economy.

In some ways, there are aspects of the early mormons that I find inspiring. Likewise, some other groups that I find particularly inspiring are organized communities, from monastic communities to the shaker communities. Looking at these groups, we see a solution to the cost of living crisis, the employment crisis with regard to entry level seekers and also a solution to the threat of outsourcing work.

As someone who hopes to get an inside glimpse into agencies that specialized in outsourcing talent, there’s no reason why domestic labor cannot be just as cost competitive: a low cost of living can just as well equate to a low cost of labor which is a competitive quality in its own right.

Moreover, these communities can thrive while maintaining a very comfortable standard of living in otherwise harsh economic conditions. There’s no reason why the cost of living crisis need be a problem for you.

Overall, proper organization among men is the key to thriving in any situation.

Also, if you yourself are single and childless, you should be particularly grateful because we live in terrible world in numerous respects. Should you desire to have kids, you should endeavor to build a better community for them to grow up in and enjoy a better life than those in mainstream America. At the same time, if you don’t desire to start a family, you should be just as concerned about building a better community for oneself to safeguard against the disastrous effects that isolation that do to oneself. America at present is particularly lonesome, the people herein are all going crazy in one way or another, we are not a healthy society, and sooner or later this plight of mainstream society will take its toll on everyone who doesn’t rebel against this situation, for men and women alike.

If you are interested in such community building, or just discussing such ideas for the fun of it, you may also reach out to me via the aforementioned email.

On a tangent, personally, I'm always very positive about everything, essentially nowadays. My only real concern is making more money and finding my tribe. I especially miss being around very candid people, which was like a check on my own very imaginative mindset. I suspect those on this forum may be especially candid which nowadays is probably a competitive advantage should some of us work together.
