There must be a way to "cut to the chase". In my case, not only is "socializing-time" accelerating but Time itself appears to be running out[not rewinding]. The Mayans viewed calendar time as ending in [our] 2012. Actually Mayan astronomers posit that another full 26,000 yr solar orbit begins after the significant solar convergence w/ the galactic core. Pragmatically, the time for resettling/migrating to a relatively safe place on the planet is closing in quickly. Before the end of 2008 we may not have any dependable currency to use with a disappearance of fiat currency. That's one reason why EarthBank, Inc. was chartered in the State of Florida [1986]: to provide gold-backed "local currency" in the form of EarthDollars. That purpose was set back by Hurricane Andrew [1992]wiping out our asset base and resulting in an inactive charter/org. With no backup documentation[our co-authored "Disclosure Document"], we resorted to survival behavior and organizing organic gardening small-scale, concentraqting on soil building an urban farm for sprouting products [Green Gardens in Miami]. Now Green Gardens has been regulated out of existence. Other Nature Sanctuary-type of nursery places are not producing self-sufficiency; the organic farmers' markets are doing "business as usual" which will not survive the coming changes.
Always working on alternatives for the past forty years plus; now, I don't see what I'm doing as an Alternative but the only way to assure some knowledgeable human survival. Those of us carrying evolutionary skills & knowledge need to collaborate, share materials engineering, tool-making, major transportation solutions like what is offered on http://frankgermano.com - a V. Schauberger/Tesla-type of "free energy" propulsion/generating system w/ built-in longevity in one-off use of materials in making an AIRSHIP! At the same time packaging food production in the most mobile most nutrient dense format by utilizing already designed methods found in http://www.kitchenculturekit.com and "FOOD FROM SUNLIGHT" as well as manuals instructing us on microalgal culturing and using books like "The Permaculture Book of Ferment & Human Nutrition by Bill Mollison and seaponics texts describing scientific experiments with sea-solids for totally balanced[recovery]of trace minerals and essential nutrients, enzymes, etc.
Of course I'm awaiting feedback, mentoring, financing[alternatives] and can only hope that urgency is one of our shared traits.
Affiliations/associations
These are some suggested affiliations/associations that i have attempted to cultivate w/ ensuing blocks & denials: Lifeboat Foundation http://www.lifeboat.com - "Safeguarding Humanity" founder=Eric Klein. When requested, I wrote a "White Paper" on spirulina and the importance of designing wholistic habitat as if for application in Cosmic Space. My designing has been guided by perceived necessity for moving everything inside out of "harm's reach"; e.g. harmful solar radiation, depleted, deteriorating soil, nutrient sources, genetic manipulations, toxic over-spray of ag chemicals, etc., etc.[more present perils & projected harm can be enumerated and documented if desired]. Revealing potential perils is not to empower negativity but to prove necessity for preparedness and establish design/solution parameters. I would rather face reality and refine adjustments toward evolutionary movement. Lifeboat Fndtn seems to be motivated to promote Kurzweil's agenda and justify academia & post-grad positioning of "scientists".
Intentional Community http://www.ic.org certainly has compiled a substatial directory listing of varied community-building, resident-recruiting efforts and all of them could use the "Global Village Construction Set" esp. the "multimachine" & Fab Lab ...
Specific places like "Tree of Life": http://www.treeoflife.nu because I worked there and know that they have expansion plans and plenty of usable land; and their network is extensive.
