I feel like these white-people-with-dreadlocks impulses are ultimately caused by the alienation/sterility/soullessness of american capitalism — their ignorance leads them to responding to this alienation in a (best case) futile way like hippie capitalism (burning man), and in a (worst case) colonial/adventurist way like we see here. These weirdos think living in a “primitive” community will bring them back in touch with their soul or some shit.
These are just the new hipsters, who were all originally trust fund kids. Now instead of going to Williamsburg, they are going to live in "intentional communties" in tropical nations while working on their app that uses machine learning to take pictures of your poop and identify if it's a healthy poop.

That would be a useful and harmless app tho, and therefore is not what they're working on.
No they use the app to aggregate dietary data on huge segments of the population, so that they can figure out where to create new food deserts.
Actually it has a $50B dollar valuation and will eventually cause the implosion of the economy.
I will retract "harmless" but not "good"
