He said He wants me to start a tax-exempt monastery in New Hampshire, join with my fellow believers,
buy ever-more tax-exempt land, and Gulch there in pursuit of complete self-sufficiency -
growing our own food [2], generating our own energy, and securing our own local
telecommunications infrastructure (offering powerful free
MAN WiFi, and interlinking with similar establishments throughout the state).
In addition to the holy gospel of Anarcho-Capitalism, our religion shall put particular emphasis on individual empowerment through science and technology, and specifically focus its productive efforts around the holy UNIX operating system and other
permissively-licensed software (ex. PostgreSQL). The monks will be encouraged to pursue ever-greater knowledge of those technologies, contribute to the public domain code-base, and to use their knowledge to make money selling their services via the Internet. As those convents become ever more powerful, they may be able to engineer and even manufacture their own
open-source hardware and other technologies, thus bootstraping a high-tech local economy that is free of taxation and other socialist influence!
It should go without saying that even in this collective endeavor our individualist principles must never be compromised - participation in those establishments will always be optional, people will be free to come and go as they please, have families, build their own detached housing on convent grounds, maintain what their fellow monks will recognize as their private property (although for tax exemption purposes the government would not), and so on. In fact I think
reproduction should be highly encouraged [2] within our culture, creating a family-friendly atmosphere with many convent-based resources for raising and schooling children independently of the state. If those children choose to follow in their parents' footsteps, our movement shall have a strong hereditary backbone in addition to continuing to evangelize our movement to the unconverted!
