I think Plato fans would probably argue I’m being somewhat unfair. If nothing else, the society described was intended as a metaphor for the virtuous person, not necessarily as an actually good society in itself.
More relevantly, I didn’t intend for this to be a major criticism of your endeavor. I think if you can avoid sexual conflict (for which I recommend celibacy on your part) this could be worthwhile for (some) people.
Clarifying, because I’ve been turning the sexual conflict part over in my head for the past few days; do you mean celibacy as in not being with anyone else in the project, or celibacy as in not being with anyone at all during the duration of the project? The former makes sense though I’m only about 75% sure I agree, the later seems really odd.
