I don't really care about mushrooms |

This has been on my mind for many years and I do plan to follow through on this plan to make it a reality one day. |

Well some of us do, but the point is that is a very personal choice. |

I love this idea and have had many along the same lines. I think where you buy the island concerns the legality of it. I'm not certain whether you get full legal rights to your island. Though you would have to be careful of who you let onto the island. A lot of people wouldn't be ready for such a place. |

This idea seems like an extremely far fetched hippie utopia. I'm all for it if you can get it going and sustain it, it would be pretty amazing to accomplish that. I dobut you'd be able to live by your own laws, it would depend where you bought the island. |

Hmm nice links. They would obviously need a large island, to house multiple farms, crops, and residence. SKA, if you are really serious about this like you seem to be you should do some calculating to see how many people could actually live in such a fashion, sustainably of course. You have to take into accout so many things, quite a daunting task. Before you get too far ahead of yourself you should really buckle down on figuring out the financial aspect of the project, then work on how it would be sustained, how many people could participe and contribute (both money and time). |

Well its all about location and money. You need to either need to find land that isn't claimed from anyone, or buy the land from someone with clear ownership and make sure you have an agreement with that country that the land is free from them. Having a lot of people helps. So does being in a location that is not going to bother a lot of neighbors. |

This is a brilliant idea that I have thought about myself a number of times. I've also evisaged an Academy there aswell, not in the modern sense, but in the sense of the Ancient Greek sense; a place for debate on all topics and the pursuit of knowledge. I think Mckenna owed a parcel of land in Hawaii, maybe this would be worth looking into. |

I look forward to seeing the sketches/plans |

I'd jump on that in a second. Love psychedelics and love the idea of a new society; specifically one that entails a self-sustained, people-governed free humanity. |

well..if you ever do find a way to make it into a reality one day, give me a shout. my sister is studying architecture. it's her drive to design a community that is entirely eco-friendly and keeps the needs of the human being in mind. that is, our need for a community |
|
Sweet. My sister is an architect as well. She's however rather fond of our market-based society so no chance of her helping along |

Oh yeah, lowcost housing would be the way to go at first for sure. Not in it for the luxury. It's a cool concept but in reality it wouldn't be the first one to jump on. |

free entheogenic artistic community and guard towers does not compute |

I was hoping for no need for defence, but I guess that kind of depends on the location of the community. Pirates can get ashore of an island, smugglers... |

Yeah it's do-able! There are and have been plenty of autonomous communities. |

It is an awesome concept but that would require a lot of labour, equipment, and time for the same quality and space of shelter. |

Use bamboo trees to make houses. |

Sounds like the plot to that one movie with Leonardo Dicaprio. |
