Why does that matter?
That's like saying my backyard vegetable garden will not scale to feed the entire street, or that the new M1 MacBook Pro won't scale to train the Tesla AI.
Just because something doesn't scale it doesn't mean it isn't a great thing worthy of perusing & learning from.
- JKCalhoun 5y agoYes, my take was a little more toward, you don't scale it, you rather replicate lots and lots of small villages. Having just typed that though, I agree with OP that even lots and lots of these could not replace a dense urban city. You know, unless some plague wiped out 90% of our population.
- smitty1e 5y agoI'm more worried about the visionary that wants to set themselves over a fee dozen such challenges and then start bossing everone around. For the "common good". You understand. These sad tales always stem from the best intentions.
- smitty1e 5y agoHence my leadoff: > I am completely, 100% on board with what these people are doing and hope they find much joy. Looks like a wonderful place. But such contexts (thinking the Amish here) are sustained by the kind of cohesion that will be challenging to generalize. But watch some idealist try.
