Looking for Fellow Thinkers

[Michael Sparks]

I am trying to find people interested in forming a tight knit group of like minded thinkers, those that are inspired to do and create, willingness to come together and work as a team would be a key component to succeeding at whatever the collective focus may be, experience in varying fields would be helpful but not required, passion for learning and growing is expected. In addition the drive to positively motivate others when distracted. Not to forget the ability to have fun and be social and ease into such a setting, willingness to shed the social disorders created by society and be the self that was long forgotten of undiscovered.

 

[LordWinter]

Lofty goals there, pardner. Just what goals might you have in mind for the collective focus of such a group, and what kind of experiences are you looking for?

 

[Michael Sparks]

well what in your opinion makes or defines such a proposal as 'lofty'

any experiences, left open ended for the purpose as to not discourage interested people to inquire

please provide more details

Such a group requires motivation. You need a carrot. Without that, collapse is inevitable.

An example of this is the fate of 99% of communes formed in the late sixties. Once the newness/novelty wore off, only a clear thinking few ended up doing all the work.

Few people will bust their asses to support the stoned out, lazy majority.

You might consider reading "Walden II" for some insight into the difficulties involved in forming such a group.

It all sounds like a bad job advertisement.

im listening...but what was your proposal??? all I got out of it was you were looking for a few like minded people who are interested in growing and learning new things...thats y i think were all here...if u have more to add ill be interested

 

[Michael Sparks]

well... who has some ideas ?

I mean i have a few concepts as to what my ideal setting would be, i am simply attempting to find people that are thinking the same things, essentially starting some 'commune' or a co-op of some sort where people would be living together, sharing common interests, working together ect..

 

[veggiegardener]

Do some reading. Formulate a plan. Sell it to potential members.

Over at Overgrow.com, about 8-9 years ago, a guy posted a picture of a Caribbean island for sale for $9 million. Existing housing for at least 30 adults. Hundreds of acres of cleared land for agriculture. A desire to form a co-op and grow a LOT of weed. It didn't go any where because interested parties uniformly lacked the money to buy in for a down payment.

It was a fun exercise in planning, though.

The big problem was growing where it is illegal.

Not to mention, pirates.

so you think you can find the like minded thinkers on a marijuana grow forum?

Isnt that the reason most of us are here anyway? Because we are like minded?

Thats like going to a pool and asking who wants to get wet.

 

[Michael Sparks]

Not necessarily, everyone is in their own disposition even though we are all collectively here, we are out of touch with what 'here' even means.. I am simply trying to rally like minded thinkers in hopes to come together and unite aside from our own differences and past experiences.. there are those of us out there that want to build and contribute, use their knowledge for a greater purpose and gain that gratification that you can only achieve once something you believed in was accomplished. so as some of us will joke and mock such a concept, we (as a majority) want basically the same things, to be useful and content with what we are doing and not resent the act of doing something and learning for a wasted purpose. I mean my life has meaning and i am not going to let it be wasted in a system that i do not agree with. I just want the best for all so take that for what it is.

A picture is worth a thousand words

 

[gypsygreen]

I would like to join, but only if the ratio of female to male is greater than 2:1. I am self sustaining for the most part now, except I have to sell a lb or two of pot each year to pay my taxes and electric bill. A few acres of gardens, half a dozen chickens, and 2 teenage sons is all I have to offer.

 

[white rasta]

hi there it sounds like u have alot to offer. the plant looks amazing. i have just put some photos up of my girls take a look let me no wot u think. how do u grow ur girls?.

 

[gypsygreen]

how do u grow ur girls?.

Put seed in soil...wait 6 months. Seriously I just soak seed over night in water, plant in soil* about 1/2" deep and top once @ the 4th or 5th node. But this thread is about starting a commune of sorts. I know a few folks who have done a similar thing, they get together and camp out in the national forest from Memeorial day to labor day. They move their site every two weeks like 20 feet so they arnt breaking any squatter laws. they hunt, fish, grow, and party all summer. One of them is a local school teacher. How cool is that?


*made from grass clippings, horse shit, and coffee grounds(helps balance PH to a perfect 6.9 ). Then I mix with equal parts soil from my veggie garden.

 

[euthanatos93420]

I'm a cook + jack of all trades! sign me up. Also with the mormon style f:m shit.

 

[Carne Seca]

This doesn't involve giving you all my possessions and moving to Guyana does it? Also, would your last name be Jones by any chance? AND are you partial to cyanide kool-aid?

 

[OregonMeds]

Well a couple people have mentioned self sufficiency and living off the grid in this thread, if that were the case I'd be interested in participating provided we aren't required to give up all worldly possesions to the cult, and drink the poison kool aid to take a ride on the dark planet.

I've been looking into several options:

[Michael Sparks]

WOW..this was not a tread looking for cynical individuals. I appreciate those of you that have replied in seriousness I'd stated that those would mock and joke, I am serious and perturbed by the lack of seriousness and the flagrant disrespect, to be honest and true with yourselves is not difficult, i mean who the hell do you have to impress anyway you are behind a computer, and unless you are like Ernst or Kevin Murphy that reveal their identity, no one knows who you are, so be fair and true to yourself.
I see the world being destroyed around us all and we (as a whole) just perpetuate this destruction fueled by greed and ignorance for a fiat money system.. i believe in herb and healing (that is the main reason why i got involved in this forum), those of you that are knowledgeable in growing and learning are whom i am looking to commit to such an experience, I do not need those that are distracted but their own greed, I welcome everyone, as growth is possible for everyone if one is willing to commit to growing for the good and not for thy self. so prior to replying think deeply, concentrate and reflect as to what you mean to say not what attention you hope to get.
