I'm thinking about trying to join an intentional community to learn the ropes of farm and homestead skills but especially learning the hardest skill of being a member of a horizontally organized democratic community (and all the mundane and not fun aspects involved). Maybe after a year or two of that, if I still have a taste for it, I might try to start my own somewhere. We're all we've got and I think just trying to survive 3°+ warming in the next couple of decades is gonna be really nasty.

How bout you?

    you know, for all you farming fans, there is a civilization on the other side of the planet that is much older and bigger than ours that has spent the last 2200 years with the primary focus of maintaining a centralized bureaucracy that can organize mass grain cultivation. even after the apocalypse, division of labor is still your best bet.
