Cool tiny homes with electricity and running water, I would hope? Because if not, it sounds like you're just advocating for families to live in poverty and have their children work on farms instead of attending school. Which sounds a bit... backwards.
I mean, the idea of a commune is hardly a new one. Socialists and religious folk have been at that game for a while, so I wonder how you think plan to differentiate meaningfully.

> a neo-tribal model that fits with the emergent archaic values as post-modernism gives way to a more holistic and connected world.
Holy cringey buzzword mashup Batman! Sounds like the market appeal here is for the vaccine-denier crowd. I don't think many people here would agree with "archaic values" being an innately good thing. I read that sentence and I can only think of the short, brutal lives human beings experienced during the era of tribalism. Not of something holistic and connecting.
I'm also a bit amused that you say you chose Costa Rica for it's "lack of a standing military". I worry that might be interpreted in a less-than-positive way by the government there.
- ada1981 10y agoThe idea of an archaic revival is the return to more connected communal living with the best that technology has to offer. Our property in Costa Rica is now the worlds largest permaculture farm and we also have high-speed fiber optic cable. I'd imagine the primary differentiator is that I'm advocating for one where the founding values are best scientifically supported practices for health and community vs. a religious text or cult leader.

Costa Rica is proud of its non-aggressive position and welcome other folks who aren't interested in supporting a militaristic global agenda.
