Below is an article Jack Lessinger (author of both the books Schizomania and Penturbia) wrote back in 2003. I thought it would be a good to re-post it as a...
I discovered Jack Lessinger's work years ago, bought the Schizomania book, and immediately became a disciple. Followed the website for a while, but not much...
Hi, I am one of he new group members. I have not been familiar with Jack Lessinger's work, nor have I read his book (yet). I found out about it through a link...

You're right, Greg -- the link to the schizomania discussion group was posted on Friday, Feb 8 on George Ure's site, at: http://urbansurvival.com/week.htm This...
Hi Jay, I think Strauss and Howe's "Fourth Turning" ideas are sort of parallel to Lessinger's "Schizomania" and "Penturbia" ideas. Definitely not the same, but...
Below is an article Jack Lessinger wrote in 2003 that gives a good overview of Penturbia. A nice intro for the new members and a good refresher for the old...
Here just outside the Greater Toronto Area the 5th shift is well underway. I live about 100 Km from downtown Toronto, and commute in to a small city just...
Been pretty quiet here, so let's give it a stir with something a little controversial. Greg **** The physical structure and layout of the proposed urban/rural ...

It still surprises me a bit when I find Lessinger's "Responsible Villagers" hiding in these articles. There is a sea change of opinions growing out there......
One caution - this "sea-change" might play into the hands of those who are interested in establishing world-wide socialism. It is important that respect for...
Sounds like the kind of interconnected communities the "Responsible Villager" wants to live in... What do you think? Would you be OK with the living...
Actually this concept of hill villages sounds so much more attractive than suburbia. I have formerly lived in the suburbs and I find that miles & miles of...
One of the tactics used to defeat the "Colossus" american dream of the late 1800s/early 1900's was the redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor. This...
