Communal Comms and Land Projects with CJ Trowbridge

from Sad Francisco · host Toshio Meronek, Tofu Estolas, CJ Trowbridge

CJ Trowbridge discusses his latest land project, the High Desert Institute, and a previous one that was featured on the 2023 reality show "The Garden: Commune or Cult?"--where the founding of an anticapitalist, consensus-based community was chronicled by corporate TV channel producers for a Discovery Channel audience. We also talk about the Cyberpony Express mesh network he's working on (basically, a parallel internet outside the clutches of the telecoms oligarchs like AT&T).  CJ on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@cjtrowbridge CJ on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@CJTrowbridge High Desert Institute https://highdesertinstitute.org Castro Media on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@castromedia.org   Support us and find links to our past episodes: patreon.com/sadfrancisco
