Sad to hear you go. I always made a point of following your development on your path of intentional community building, as there lies our future.

John Thackara wrote in his book "How to Thrive in the Next Economy Designing tomorrow’s world today" that the millions of tiny initiatives, like yours, are all adding up and will form an exponential change. But I believe we are in hard need of good threads to connect these dots. To create the synaptic connections to learn from each other, exchange ideas and experiences as to not keep reinventing the same wheel and mistakes over and over again. Enabling the emergence of collective intelligence. That's what went wrong in the endeavours of the generation just before me, of the '70. Let's please not repeat their mistakes.

We badly need platforms that support this. Substack is far too insular to be able to create any such synergies. I will keep a sharp lookout for better ones. All suggestions are more than welcome.

And ps, Yes, as John Stuart Mill too says, every form of censorship is fundamentally stupid because it's self-harming.
