What we’re about

Welcome! Something really cool is coming to Sacramento, and we're really excited to get it started. We're a new group devoted to... *drum roll*

Cultural Renaissance Engineering
(aka. nomad science!)

What's Cultural Renaissance Engineering? Everything we'd need to make the 21st century look like a technicolor fever-dream, that's what:

1. Digital distributism
2. Cybernetics
3. P2P Education
4. The Hacker Ethic
5. Demoscene
6. Interactive narrative design
7. Immersive theatre
8. Systems thinking
9. Group intelligence augmentation
10. Complexity theory
11. Regenerative agriculture
12. Neo-situationism
12. Fnord
13. BwO
14. Nomad science

(One day, we're going to build a P2P learning and hacker space called "The Twelfth Plateau.")

We're forming an extended community of hackers, artists, intellectuals, teachers, scientists, authors, and humanitarians of all stripes: people with big hearts, generous minds, and a hopeful eye towards the future, that wants to join forces and build something truly *preposterous.* Right here in Sacramento.

Come write, hack, build, think, and develop beautiful and dangerous visions with us!

PS. If you know what all this stuff is and think it's coolest thing you've ever seen, reach out to the organizer and say hi! (If not, don't worry, he's pretty dopey; this is performance art, after all. See: this video)

PPS. Here's a subreddit with some of these topics (warning: starts off pretty obscure, but gets easier the farther back you go. Apologies for Charles Grahm and his annoying PDFs).
