What Jason would prioritize if building a village

`0:58:27`

to a few um and lived in a few. The best places I've been are um places where there's a lot of texture and um a lot of uh variability in diversity in flora and fauna and architecture and space. Like I don't like planned communities in a sense. I don't like things that are planned out ahead of So, like I'd much rather go to uh a wild than an English garden, you know? Like the English garden is very formal. I mean, they're they're beautiful. Like, they're beautiful, but I'd much rather be in in in wild places. Um, I'd much rather be in a village that is full of

`0:59:12`

color and and and self-made spaces and and like architecture for the people versus a planned community where everything is the same or there's like only five versions of something or five styles of something. So I I think I think um that degree of of uh that r I'd like to I'd like a village with a lot of range to me al ultimately um creative range natural range architectural range experience range people different philosophies all this stuff I think it'd be uh that'd be the best uh most interesting place to be. How do you So if you want to I think part of that you get when a place is old and it evolved

`0:59:59`

organically and you had people move over the generations. Obviously when you start in your village you don't necessarily have that unless you want to give it the next 500 years. What it sounds like for that you would need to solve for having attracting a group of people that is diverse and different enough that everyone has their own differences but cohesive enough that you can still actually live in a village and be each other's neighbors which is similar to I guess company culture. What how do you do that which is kind of a I don't think you I yeah I to your point I don't think you can do that. I think that these things actually have to evolve organically. M um I don't think you can force I don't think you can force these kinds of things to to evolve. I think things like this emerge and things that emerge emerge

`1:00:44`

organically. Um you might be able to encourage some things but there's a point where you encourage so much that you force and that then falls apart. So I don't know. Um but what's the connecting thread? Because then you need different people who all have their own taste and they want to do different things but there still needs to be cohesion. So what's the I think the cohesion is is I mean ultimately is probably the interest in living in a certain way. Um which is which is which is people would be attracted to a place where they can experiment and try new things and do new things and live in a place where they maybe have the chance to build their own place or design their own space or whatever it might be. I don't I don't know this is a bit abstract you know but but in general like I think that ultimately things just have to come together naturally. So I

`1:01:30`

don't think you can force it. I think if you like, you know, you bought a big track of land somewhere out out in the, you know, out out in the wherever, out in the suburbs somewhere in some place like, and you tried to plan this thing to happen, it wouldn't happen. Things just happen. Things come together. Um, there's all sorts of places in the world where things have just come together naturally because either the topography is right or the timing is right or there's a few leaders that attract different people to these places or there's a few examples of something that happen. Sometimes there could be a great place that is man-made that just attracts people to it and then other people build around it. Other times there's other places that a lot of things are kind of similar, but the similarities are still rooted in texture and and and scale that make sense. I
