2/ * "geek houses" are a thing in Cambridge, SF, etc etc etc synthesis: I wonder if someone with capital bought a house in the country and then rented out rooms in an explicit geek house / ancap-online-NRx-adjacent-social-scene model would have any interest? >>>

3/ Kind of a less-formal, less urban/nerdy "Hestia Society" - bunch of guys sharing living quarters on the super-cheap, sharing fiber optic so they can all work remotely, having an acre or two of land so they can practice gardening, loan each other tools, collaborate on projects

5/ but anyway, haters aside, curious if young guys like
@strnglft ,@DogmanRespecter , etc. etc etc find any temptation at all in such an idea, or if I've been miscalibrating the microdoses of LSD recentlyShow this thread -
6/ curious what
@sonyasupposedly , who isn't the core demographic here, but has many such friends and is insightful about way-out-in-the-fringes social groups thinksShow this thread -
7/ in my caffeine-addled imagination, I'm not saying the young guys would loan the landlord tools, but that as they each acquired tools to advance their own lives, they could share them w each other https://twitter.com/SFlamboyante/status/1268921362489450503 …

8/ Basically, I guess I'm wondering if a "rural life incubator", where the two services provided are * housing * community of similar folks has any value?pic.twitter.com/aDUOEWEC9c

9/ 1-3 months? That's barely enough time to get a tractor stuck in mud and then get it out again ! https://twitter.com/TacticalMinivan/status/1268921907287646214 …

10/ I've done a lot of my homesteading while pretty overweight. Down a fair bit recently. So ... can be done either way. Homesteading hobbies help build strength, tho. https://twitter.com/oceanlander/status/1268923672875630594 …

11/ well, to be clear, in my conception, it's just a group house that's rented out as an investment property...and the tenants are given the blessing "sure, you can log trees in THIS area, and plant a garden HERE...and MAYBE I can rototill a bit for you" https://twitter.com/DeanBradleySFF/status/1268924153865949184 …

12/ ...so if 4 guys moved in and 3 of them decided that they'd rather play vidya than garden ... fine by me. Long as the rent checks clear. The "like minded community" is something THEY bring to the table (or not) for their own benefit (or not). No skin off my nose.

13/ getting a lot of [ good natured ] ribbing like this ...and, just to be clear: no, I'm not proposing that guys work on MY land or for me. Just a housing situation, and they can do what they want for themselves. My interaction is "collect rent".https://twitter.com/mr_archenemy/status/1268927281411559424 …

14/ yep, yep ...but I'm proposing something much less formal / with less interaction if some SV person buys a 6 bedroom house & rents it to geek friends so that they can all hang out, he's not collecting tribute in open source code or anything...just $ https://twitter.com/octal/status/1268928415102636035 …

15/ I used "incubator" as a joke, just to justify putting a picture of Ehrlich Bachmann in there. In reality it's just "group rental house; with some social preselection - THE END".https://twitter.com/TheClarksTale/status/1268928606194941952 …
