Seeking Co-founder for a Rationalist Arcology/Bunker Project

The Vision:

I (19yo M) am looking for a partner to co-develop a radical intentional community. The goal is to build an Arcology — a self-sustaining, high-density habitat (likely starting as a bunker or a modified industrial space) designed to strip away irrational social norms and cognitive noise.

​The Core Principles:

​Hard Rationality: Seeing the world as it is, using Bayesian reasoning, and optimizing for truth over social comfort.

​Norm-Stripping: Removing "random" traditions that don't serve a logical purpose. This includes a moneyless internal economy and a clothing-optional/nudist-friendly environment to remove status signaling.

​Infinite Horizon: A focus on long-termism, space exploration, and human potential in an infinite universe.

​Zero Bullsh*t: No status games, no unnecessary complexity.

​Who I’m looking for:

You are intellectually restless, and feel "alienated" by standard societal structures. You should have a "builder" mindset — maybe you’re into engineering, closed-loop ecology, architecture, or software. You don't need money yet, but you need the obsession required to plan a self-sufficient system from scratch.

​Why now?

Most people wait until they are "settled" to dream. I want to start the architecture and the social contract now.

​Interested?

Send me a DM. Tell me your "most controversial but rational" belief and what skills you bring to a literal bunker-build.

Yes, this is AI generated, I find it difficult to express myself, so told it to summerize my thoughts, thought this would be the easiest first step. Hope someones interested. I'm really just looking for "equals" that would be interested talking about it.
