Aardehuizen is a mostly off-grid eco village in the Netherlands. It's built from recycled, repurposed, and locally sourced materials, and gets most of its power from the Sun.
And, well... I kinda want to live in one. Anyone else care to join? Like, maybe we can snag a patch of land somewhere and just be free.
@InvaderXan With everything going on in EU + US politics, sign me up. I'm so tempted to find some nice green land in the Pacific Northwest. Offline Wikipedia + Library Genesis, build some solar powered aeroponic farms, and play board games with fellow sciencey folks for the rest of my existence.
@gwynn I like the sound of this!
@InvaderXan
I would like to subscribe to this mailing list
@gwynn
@InvaderXan as long as we're still adding to the culture and not just hiding out
@InvaderXan But if you can find some free land in a good place I'm down
@dualhammers But of course. Humans have built society for a reason and in many ways, it's served us well. Some people seem keen on isolationism, but I'd far prefer to be a part of human culture on my own terms.
@InvaderXan The dream!
@InvaderXan
That would be the dream, yeah. Something else that would be really hard but really cool to pull off would be to get not one but a whole network of them started. Cause then you'd have a built in way to share resources and knowledge.
@zabet This is the kind of thing I like thinking about. A hypothetical way to build a decentralised civilisation.
@InvaderXan count me in :) happy to lend a pair of green thumbs.
@liliana The more green thumbs the better IMO!
@InvaderXan children there will always need teachers, sign me up! :)
