How 8 communards organized a conference but failed to build a geodesic dome | Twin Oaks
มุมมอง 7735 ปีที่แล้ว
How do you organize a conference with no one in charge? Organizing in community is not a linear process. Mistakes are part of the process. Multiple people work in parallel. Sometimes there's conflict. But eventually, the work gets done, and the result is something that could not have been made in any other way. Process over product. We're putting together 3 conferences this month that you can c...

    Hello there. My name is Quentin. I've been to Oran Mor Community before and I'm leaving a comment because Oran Mor Community is a pretty dysfunctional intentional community that I had a bad experience with. My first visit to Oran Mor lasted about one week and a few days back in August of 2015. There were a lot of tensions, and a family came shortly after I arrived with the intentions of stealing the community from Dez and Carlos which got resolved months later. Dez and Carlos are the ones who were running Oran Mor when I first arrived seeing as they "inherited" the community from Pearl and Bunny. It was starting to get pretty bad with that first visit and the problem that Dez was having with me at the time of my first visit was that I was dealing with some bad traumatic experiences from an earlier community that I was at during the late spring and early summer of 2015. She wasn't understanding the depression that I was going through. Dez herself is a very emotionally abusive individual. Very ignorant and deluded in her beliefs. There was a very piss poor understanding of me from her. I decided to leave Oran Mor before things could get potentially worse. Especially seeing as I was being taken advantage of when it came to my physical labor. Unfortunately, I decided to go back to Oran Mor Community to try and give it a fair chance to see if it will be a good fit for me or not because I felt that the first visit was short and brief. My second visit to Oran Mor lasted for seven months from July of 2016 to January of 2017. This second stay was pretty rough for me. It was not good living with Dez, Carlos, Kalani who is their son, and Opa who is Dez's father due to a severe lack of connection. Staying and living with this family was not very comfortable for me due to a lot of anti-science and anti-intellectual beliefs that they had. Dez is an anti-vaxxer and a believer in pseudoscience such as alternative medicine and astrology. Utter nonsense basically. They have fallen victim to the appeal to nature logical fallacy. Plus, they are very incompetent farmers seeing as all the goats that they had all died. Most of them anyway and Oran Mor no longer has goats due to their inexperience and lack of skills of running an intentional community farm. It really doesn't help that Dez has a severe deluded interpretation of the world due to her primitive brain structure. They're idiots. Having strange new age beliefs that are nonsensical. The relationship between Dez and Carlos was pretty dysfunctional due to Dez being a slut shamer and Carlos being someone who wasn't that faithful to begin with. Oran Mor Community is in Squires, Missouri which is in the bible belt of the United States. As an atheist I felt trapped at Oran Mor seeing as I didn't give a damn for the new age crap of Oran Mor and the bible thumpers in the surrounding area. My frustration with Oran Mor was growing and Dez took notice of it. She felt that me taking a break from Oran Mor might help and I took the time to get away from Oran Mor by going out west to try and visit other intentional communities. Me going out west didn't really help and I decided to come back to Oran Mor for a third time in order to save myself from being homeless. This third visit only lasted a month and a few weeks from April to May of 2017. I was not interested in being at Oran Mor and I was only trying to figure something else out before moving on from the place. It only deteriorated from here on out because I could tell that Dez and Carlos were feeling more uneasy of me being there and I was not going to waste my time trying to talk to them to see if compromises could be made. These people are close-minded and a bunch of deadbeats. Talking to them was not going to go anywhere especially because Dez and her family are irrational losers. They just finally asked me to leave after I got angry with them seeing as they have no respect for me. The only problem was that I had nowhere to go to and they didn't care that they were condemning me to homelessness. Pure apathy is all it was, and Oran Mor is a shitty intentional community. Dez truly is a freaking idiot with a very naive view of the world. She got knocked up by Carlos again and they have a daughter named Inanna. Only for Dez and Carlos to no longer be in a relationship with one another and Opa died in June of 2022. Kalani and Inanna should be taken away from Oran Mor and be never returned to Dez or Carlos. They're shitty parents. Oran Mor Community is falling into ecofascism at this point because of the friendship that Dez has with a cult in Lafayette, Tennessee called The Garden. Oh well. It is what it is. At least Oran Mor itself is not a cult but a very piss poor and incompetent intentional community. It was never right that Dez and Carlos "inherited" Oran Mor Community by Pearl and Bunny. That is what you call socially privileged. Other than that, I regret going to Oran Mor. I never should have spent so much time there as I did because I have nothing to show for it. There were no connections that I made, and it was really unpleasant living there. Dez and Carlos are a couple of dipshits that discriminate against people like me. All they care about is living in a fantasy world that is far away from reality. People should stay away from Oran Mor. There's nothing to gain and nothing to learn from this community of cuntbags. What people are going to get is apathy and Dez being a controlling deluded cunt. Just don't do it and stay away. It's not worth a damn.

    Waw. I just seen an old video of Twin Oaks Community and was very much sold for the idea and how it works out. Recently i got interested in old construction methods as cob house, cottage, log cabins and various type off grid living. It is so incredibly refreshing to watch people start these communities based on their ideals and that there is a variety present. One can pick a community which fits them. Also i like the 'applicant' status because our societies have become rather toxic and it wouldn't make any sense running away of it to accept toxic individuals and have them ruin the whole thing.... again. So it's good that these communities try to protect themselves by being careful in accepting others. I am Belgian... it would be a hard decision to make but hopefully i can make it, leave society and find a community nearby and be accepted. Very much willing to learn how to build cob houses, living off the land and contribute with those skills. Thank you so much for sharing this... truly an eye opener to me !

    I think birch would be the better choice for the handle. Find the proper size of tree, remove the bark and wash it. The wood is stronger than ash. It will not crack.

    • @manchagojohnsonmanchago6367
      @manchagojohnsonmanchago6367 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ash is much harder than birch and is normally used for mattock handles in europe. Ash and yew and oak are good woods for it. Hickory in america is good. In my exprience if the matgock has a slip on handle vs a wedged hsndle a hard wood is preferred. As the eye will wear the wood out. Hard wood with a spring in it is best. Osage orange would be great. I made one from pear timber, it was decent. In australia you will see very heavy hard eycalypt handles jarrah was once common these are great but they tire you as they have no spring in them..

      Instead of calling a troll how about just answering a very simple question. It's not even a hard question at that. I have been to the site the last couple of weeks and there is trash everywhere and just left there, most of it is plastic and material not biodegradable friendly. Truckloads and truckloads and truckloads of trash put there and left by people claiming to have the environments best interest in mind had to be hauled away by the people they claimed do not care about the environment.(most of that left behind trash was hauled to a recycling center btw). My question doesn't even have anything to do with any pipeline, why would environmentalists leave such a scene? Do you know how many people have been to that site and were turned off by this behavior, this was disgraceful to actual environmentalists who care about the outdoors and conserving it. People legitimately concerned and open to learning about their cause reversed course b/c of their behavior. Activists try to change peoples minds and make them receptive to their cause.... Thru their actions. These people in the forest were NOT activists, they were opportunists who hurt the cause with locals, locals who were open minded and could have made a difference. If you do respond, no name calling please and try to be respectful, thanks.

      @kaydee4200 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@bennywhite7062 Ok, Imma try and answer this for you with the assumption you are an adult. Plastic is not fantastic, because of what it is made of. To be able to survive in the woods for 2 and a half years these activists did need to unfortunately rely on tarps and other polyvinyls to assist them. Had mankind been wise enough a century earlier, these same plastics would have been bioengineered to decompose safely by being made by plant materials (i.e. synthesized bamboo, magnolia leaves, etc.). Erecting a "permanent" structure would have removed their right to be on the national forest land. More immediate to your question above. Given the notion that those in the trees were removed by force, and no others allowed on the rode during and after the process, what option did any of the activists have for cleaning up their encampment?
