your father is not alone... a friend of mine visited Arcosanti decades ago and commented that in one of the studios there was a small note on one of the walls that read 'hell is other people'
- WaxProlix 9y agoIt's a reference to Sartre's No Exit[1], and not as you might at first think a shallow indictment of sociability or something like that. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Exit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Exit
- itronitron 9y agoMy impression of that note in the context is in line with Sartre's intention (or at least according to several highly reputable online sources.) Arcosanti seems set up for free thinking but then is also a highly socialized community so likely very constraining for someone that wants to be individually creative.
