From there, we can maybe begin deliberating on a logical chapter sequence.
What exactly is the scope of the project? Is it going to cover things like how to grow vegetables, or also include how to rebuild society?
I see two main problems, to plan successfully you need to know what the future is, and 2) after 10,000 years of civilisation we are no nearer to finding an ideal way to run society. Given the range of opinions, I don't see how you can build a consensus on either of those.
I think that your project is one of many worthy projects that are simply too ambitious, and become abandoned when the main people involded get bored with it.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('rogerhb', 'B')asic recommendations are:
1. Get out of debt
2. Get out of the city
1. Can't agree more!
2. I don't think that can be a solution for everyone, and may not be a good solution anyway. Surely the recommendation should be "find a sustainable community". It is a myth that rural living is automatically more sustainable, rural communities are just as dependent on the infrastructure of society as city dwellers.
