Inspiring videos that are still relevant today. It's beautiful to see
people coming together and living in a way that makes them feel joy and
be comfortable in relatively simple ways. Wealth seems to bring with it
seclusion. Private roads and estates, big empty houses. In contrast the
counter culture examples show people living in sprawling communities
helping one another.

Serious question: why don't these communities 'succeed' then.
Meaning, why don't they keep existing for decades, and why don't more
people get interested in this way of living?

Because family brings vurnersbility and vurnersbility brings
dependence on stability aka conservatism. The phase of life you
start into with one another transports you right into adulthood and
responsibility. And some just dont grow up to that. Some eternally
leech on others. And all the nice words and good intent wont fix
that.

What an incredibly callous comment that both manages to assume
everyone should have the same goals you've decided are proper, to
completely disregard socioeconomic, environmental and genetic
differences which can cause life to be a breeze for some and a
constant struggle for others.

Some of them do, like Black Bear Ranch. Iâd wager that there
are more that just donât advertise.

The lure of modern society is difficult to resist: most kids would
rather live in the suburbs, play video games, and scroll social
media than be sequestered on a remote farm with sparse
accommodations.
A close approximation may be the Amish or Mennonites. It's a
difficult life, and not prone to explosive growth.

do you mean like half of the worldwide population [0]? or anything
on top of that like remote villages anywhere in the world that
aren't liberal like hippies but are very much tied to pastoral ways
of living? heck if back in 1600 we didn't killed dozens of millions
of people maybe this type of communities would be much more
widespread

They are living that way not out of choice but out of poverty.
Those kinds of villages with the kind of pastoral life you are
ruing for are those villages and regions where medical care,
education, and other basic services are sparse to no nonexistent.

I don't think "pastoral ways of living" are a genuinely held
cultural preference for a lot of that population. I'd hazard a
guess that quite a few of them want electricity, reliable clean
water from a tap, and paved roads.

Seeing historical things and witnessing those moments (even in this day
and age) is very enjoyable. Similarly, it's possible to access this
information through official companies in Türkiye.

Holger Czukay is what happens when you combine Stockhausen and that
amazing mustache. him Liebezeit Karoli and Schmidt were so far out
there they drove not one but two singers crazy (take that, Roger
Waters). there was a band Mooney Suzuki named after them although
their chief achievement was that one of the members later joined
The Strokes (Nikolai Fraiture)
