May I take you at your word?

One of my premises is that unified physical plant is a bad idea; makes us a Target. Distributed communities are better, though being together is necessary for linguistic reasons, "together" can mean "within reasonable walking distance" without a problem. Setting up a network of distributed communities is also a good idea; I can help you develop yours on SI while you help me develop one here in LA. Gives us each someplace to run to if we have to, though if it gets that bad we might both be running to my brother's place in Thailand.

Let me know if you want to continue with this and how far you're willing to go.

best,

Joel
