How many people would like to be part of an intellectual exodus to a remote island?

Question

The idea of intellectuals forming a group and creating remote communities where certain negative aspects of society are removed, say religious belief, greed, competitiveness etc, isn't a new one, hence I though it would be a desirable idea to at least a few people.

Answer 1

i got $5 on it. we just need at least one good doctor that knows how to use herbs and stuff. email me, i wanna go. [e-mail]

Answer 2

I couldn't tell you how many people, but I for one would not. In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, the government sets up a society of Alpha Pluses and we see the inevitable unravelling and downfall of such an undertaking.

Religious belief in and of itself is not, I think, negative. The contention that it breeds when foolishly wielded is.

Answer 3

confident that's. England is a distant area of the international you be attentive to! And that's an element of a tiny little island so confident your wavelength is on it. That spirit individual up there seems to be speaking gobbledygook.

Answer 4

any self-sustaining community needs people of various talents, besides being able to learn calculus. somebody has to lift the heavy stuff and without competition, there would be no need to improve. and no intellectuals would exist. however, i would like to go to the Marquesa island chain someday. how about there?

Answer 5

Let's go! I dream of living in an intelligent, compassionate egalitarian society.

Answer 6

It depends. Is this remote island a tropical one?

Answer 7

Wouldn't people be competitive about who was smartest or had the most degrees? I know I am.

Answer 8

I think it would be great, but eventually we would all at some time become greedy, competitive, etc. Nice thought though kid.

Answer 9

i would rather be on the slope of a mountain, since the rapture is coming

Answer 10

Where you gonna get the island?
