If you’d like to support this project, please buy me a coffee. Advanced AI was invented by soviet communists to help humanity  better understand itself and the world. Let’s use it for that purpose, instead of merely for mass manipulation in furtherance of ad revenue. For this post, the bold sections are the prompts, and the AI wrote the rest. The AI also created the illustrations.

The following is a list of biographies of individuals who will be participating in a series of interviews as part of a community development podcast.

CJ Trowbridge
I’m a recent graduate of SFSU in Urban Studies with a minor in Queer Ethnic Studies. I’m focusing on sustainable infrastructure for small-group communities. I have spent a great deal of time traveling all over the country to sustainable, experimental, and improvised communities to document and discuss the ways they address their infrastructure challenges. My main long-term goal is to continue learning and teaching about sustainable infrastructure in order to improve the resiliency of our communities.

Interview Subject
I am a long-standing member of a permaculture community in rural Tennessee which offers a free place for people to visit and learn about permaculture. The mission of the community is to help as many people as possible live without money as quickly as possible. Together with the community, I also co-founded the Permaculture Mutual Aid Network which does crowdfunding to buy lands and put them into trust all over the country so that anyone can go live there for free and participate in this new network of small-group communities focused on permaculture and mutual aid.
