You asked nicely and you like Dune and some other fun stuff, so I'll give you a shot. I should let you know now, though, I tend to purge my list every once in awhile of people I get bored of. If you're not boring, you'll be fine.
In case you're wondering why I friended you: I stumbled over your journal in the so very doomed community and wanted to keep track of your experiment, very interesting.
As with the immediately preceding poster, I found you through your recent comments on the doom community. I've relatively recently (not quite a year) been introduced to Jensen - so far I've only read As the World Burns, Language Older than Words, and I'm almost finished with Culture of Make Believe. I haven't gotten to Endgame yet, though I did see/hear him talk when he came through Kansas earlier this year.
I'm also currently organizing for an intentional permaculture-based community in Tennessee. I've got a handful of people explicitly signed on, and about a dozen more who are interested. We've got a line on land, but nothing definite yet. I'm hoping to get it locked down this winter and start planting in the spring.
I don't post much here anymore, but I'm extremely interested in your adventures.
If you're buying land you definitely need to read Endgame (or really, if you're alive you need to read Endgame). I just finished volume one, and one part that springs to mind is him describing the trap that some people fall into when buying their own land to protect it, and the troubles and whatnot involved. Not that I'm in any way trying to dissuade you, and I really hope you get the land to work on, but just know what you're getting into.
I recommend trying to get some so-called un-buildable land that has some decently old forest on it (at least 50 years of unhampered growth). Because it would already be something of a stable ecosystem, you don't need to do much work, and just plant a few things here and there.
