    Most of us have Community-Neglect. Common understanding that childhood emotional neglect is extremely damaging to a child.

    Emotional neglect occurs when caregivers fail to provide the emotional support, validation, and attention children need during their formative years.

    I would argue most of us also experienced childhood community neglect. We had inadequate community to provide the needs that traditional, healthy communities did: Rites of Passage, healthy modeling of different masculine/feminine archetypes, wide social support net, etc etc.

    In my teens/20s/early 30s, the ideal was to be a passive income, world nomad. Now, I see a lot of people wanting to create intentional communities or ecovillages.

    Most of these will fail because I think they never experienced a direct transmission of a healthy, working community. Just like a person who grew up with severe emotional neglect is going to have a hugely hard time with personal relationships.

    i like the thrust of this concept, and definitely agree with: Most of these will fail because I think they never experienced a direct transmission of a healthy, working community....
