There's a positive element to this: It allows us to build parallel invite-only economies, because people will actually want to be part of them because the Mainstream Economy has increasingly the vibes of a public school cafeteria. Building invite-only underground economies is great because as they become more relevant, the mainstream economy loses valuable customers and has to close down, leaving a desert for those who are not welcome.
This doesn't happen to the Amish, so I have a hard time believing it's a hard limit.

Someone said they could get more customers by abandoning the membership (mostly refunded) and slightly lowering prices. Management responded by pointing out that 100% of your problem customers fall into the category of those that won’r pay $50 up front for a $100 refund.

@BarelyEagle @teto @CapitalB @cjd do any of you have any advice as to how to join groups that filter out the scourge, either actively or simply because they filter themselves out.
I work in a big IT company where I can be pretty invisible, and outside of work I live in a somewhat wealthy conservative area, sharing an apartment with single working men 30 and up, and spend my free time practicing bouldering and playing chess.
This kind of living is comfortable and I dont have to deal with nons, even if I am around them, its usually the more sophisticated ones and I dont have to interact with them if I dont want to.
I am curious as to how to move my life more towards this direction.
I didnt go to university because despite being very affordable in my country, it was a requirement that I would have to live in shared housing with other students (mostly nons, communists, feminists, etc.) And also the universities themselves are dominated by them and have little to offer me.
So getting a higher education doesnt seem to be an option to separate oneself from the scourge.
I've gone to Catholic and Orthodox churches and while the latter are much better, its mostly older people from Eastern Europe and I while I enjoyed mass eventually just stopped going.

Mostly things that require work, effort and sacrifice will filter actively or passively. Hiking, swimming, art, agriculture, classic car restoration, animal welfare, small business, shooting sports, hunting/tracking, book clubs, martial arts, coin collecting, rc and drone flying, kayaking, church maybe and cultural heritage societies.

Yes all of that, also IMO don't let your political opinions get between you and making human connection.
Farmers, back-to-the-land type hippies, and Christians are all people you can find big common ground with.

@cjd @teto @CapitalB @BarelyEagle @opossum I went to live in a hippie back to the land village in my country and they were all subhuman criminals
Yes, big problem for pretty much all "alternative living" scenes, it's a magnet for dregs. All of the wignat / patriot / libertarian / aryan type communities face the exact same issue.
Christians are some of the better ones at dealing with this b/c they put extraordinary effort into the self-regulation side of things.

@cjd @CapitalB @BarelyEagle @opossum @medievalwars any community that doesn't regulate social standards deteriorates
Only specialized living arrangement I could see would be some on-premise skilled trade or similar. Think oil field/rig/ mining IT in your case, etc.
Oil rig work is great if you are single.
A place to sleep, food and no temptation to blow money on stupid shit you don't need.
Plus, unlike the military, you are very unlikely to take orders from a dude in red heels.

When you're doing oil rig work, how long are you deployed at a time? Do you happen to know?
Chat says 2-4 weeks. I would have thought longer
That’s about right, but also understand that those guys make $20 an hour but $100,000 a year.
@cjd
Land based oil rigs vary, but it's usually 2 weeks work, 2 weeks off. Pretty sweet deal if you can physically do the labor in the worst conditions imaginable.

@pepsi_man @CapitalB @cjd @BarelyEagle @Lyle @opossum @medievalwars the ones at sea is months at a time but then you get months off. Either way I have a comfortable home office chairfarting job so no thanks lol
Yeah, just the shit thing is it kind of precludes having a family - or, it's possible but not at all ideal.
Back of my head thought: Alaskan colony, one smart thing to do might be sell labor to the surrounding oil and mineral corporations.
The idea is if you're centrally located then you're probably 200 miles from any of dozens of oil and gold mining operations - and in a plane, 200 miles is like an hour and a half commute.
Out a few days, come back to the wife and kids kind of thing...
