🧑‍🚀 Launching a Land-Based Collective in Mexico For Web3 Advocates Of The Network State

If you align with the values of distributed governance, autonomy of decision making, and sovereignty of individual rights, welcome to Camazotz Collective.

Launching a Land-Based Collective in the spirit of a ‘DAO’ is…. daunting to say the least.

Not only do I need to figure out all the web3 related stuff…

…but I have to figure out all the physical land stuff as well.

Buildings. Clearing trees. Legalities of land ownership (in Mexico). Agriculture. Off-grid energy supply. The list feels endless.

The time and energy and uncertainty of making wrong decisions at every step of the way is palpable.

How many hours should I spend choosing a fridge freezer that can accommodate an imaginary number of people… yet not consume too much of the solar energy stored in the chosen solar battery system compared to all the other appliances… many of which I may not even have thought of yet.

Yesterday, it was a dish washer!

In this sub stack I’ll offer an authentic reveal about my life starting a Land-Based Collective.

I’ll reveal as much at a personal level as I’m willing to risk being, while being sensitive not to offend, or at least not to alienate, the people who will become involved in the project — as we all go through a steep learning curve of building local cooperative communities towards a full fledged network state.
