Mainstream Society Is A Nut-House
The video above shows the kind of stuff I have to deal with every day. We can get away from the crime and dysfunction by joining Prosperity Society.
The reasons:
1. Protection from crime:
2. Live in a community with high standards and connect with other like minded intelligent people
Most People Should Not Join
Each person needs to find his or her "family". We provide a family for people. So our group is not for everyone- either you want to dedicate yourself to this group or not, either you fit into the group or you don't.

Why Join?
Besides being a group that provides room mates, protection, and business partners there are some specific reasons to join:
1. There are no other groups offering what we offer: There are private clubs with high standards but they are only open to people who are rich or well connected. There are communities open to the public (usually churches and the like) but they tend to have low standards (include everyone) which often leads to low expectations and operating on a dumbed down basic level. We are open to the public but also have high expectations out of our members so that you can engage in meaningful discussions and projects.
Before creating this group, I looked everywhere for a group I could join that would have some basic standards in its members and focus on helping each other, working together etc. I could not find it anywhere. Not the free masons (they aren't focused on practical teamwork, you have to jump through hoops before ever working together and their goals, leaders etc. are a "secret" even to members). Not any church or club or anything that I could find. This really shocked me, but there isn't any community like this available despite how obviously practical it is. There are probably churches, biker clubs, or other groups in some town or city somewhere that do this, but just in the places I lived I couldn't find any.
2. It is often difficult to meet intelligent and trustworthy people (we solve that problem): The world is full of idiots and criminals. If you are wealthy you can get away from such people. But for those of us without a lot of money it is often impossible to escape the dysfunction, which gets worse every year. Prosperity Society provides a useful forum for meeting good friends and associates. Members are vetted for trustworthiness, intelligence and compatible personality.
3. Wealth Creation stems from Joint Projects (not necessarily from hard work). Regardless of how smart or talented you are, generally social opportunities or money making opportunities comes from who you know and what you know. We provide connections with smart people and share useful knowledge.
4. We enjoy the company of others like us: Larry the crackhead might be entertaining company, but once in a while we want to be around other people who share our values, share our wit, and have a similar lust for life as we do. 99% of public groups like churches, clubs, gangs cater to the lowest people. Intelligent, high functioning, adults can meet other people like themselves. I have searched for it, and no other group believes in intelligence tests, background checks or other basic standards (possible exception being MENSA the high I.Q. society but its I.Q. test is highly biased toward those with high education levels rather than raw intelligence, and prohibitively exclusive in many cases (supposedly only for the top 2% smartest) and the group does not focus on concrete goals. College societies (such as Greek societies) may have reasonable standards due to only accepting members of a given college, but this shuts out a lot of poor people who are smart and capable. Prosperity Society is the only group where a trustworthy, reliable and smart person without any connections or money can walk in the door and be subjected to high standards and high expectations and network with other people similar to him or herself.
Is It Possible To Find Similar People?
Most people I deal with are either wealthy and have an easy life and not interested in associating with someone like me who isn't resource rich, or else they are not rich, but are losers and constantly scream "why try we'll just fail"
One objection is, "You'll never find people exactly like you" First, I don't need people who are exactly the same, just similar enough to be compatible with a like-minded group. Secondly, it is surprising how many similar people are actually out there. It is counter intuitive.
Any kind of person can find like-minded people on the internet. It doesn't matter how weird or unusual the topic is. If you collect stamps, you can find other stamp collectors. If you eat dirt, you can find other dirt eaters. If you are into being peed on by another human being, you can find a group of people who like to pee on each other. Literally, just about subject you think of, there are people out there who are interested in the same thing.
There are two problems with this though. One problem is sorting through the 99.9% of people who are incompatible (assuming it is a really unusual topic. There may be a lot less incompatible people just depending on the requirements). Even if only .1% of people are compatible there are roughly 350 million Americans alive today. 350,000 people across the country would fall into that .1% category. I would be happy with five people, though more is better. So it is feasible. But the problem is advertising and finding those people and dealing with all the crazy, non compatible, people who contacts me and wants to argue. Plus spending money on advertising in order to find those people. I believe there are far more than a fraction of one percent who are compatible with my ideas and goals, but this gives you a rough idea that no matter how rare the trait is, there are still a lot of people who share that trait.
The second problem is when you do find these people, they likely all live in different locations. So you need people who are dedicated enough to the idea to move to a new location (or who simply don't have much to lose by moving). So we need to focus on the idea of relocating in order to be a part of this group.
In the video below is an interesting explanation of mathematic probability in relation to shared birth dates. Even though it seems highly improbable that you would share a birthday with someone in a room of about 30 people, mathematically there is about a 70% chance that at least two people have the same birthday. There is about a 9% chance that someone in the room shares the same birthday as you. A room of 300 people there would be a 90% chance someone shares the same birthday as you. It seems unlikely that we would find many like-minded people, but mathematical probability proves otherwise. If only 1% of people are the same as you, it would only take about 100 people to have a good chance of finding one compatible person. Now consider the millions of people out there. I'm not sure why this seems so counter intuitive for most people, but it does.
I simply have refrained from advertising extensively not because of a lack of compatible people, but due to not having much money or time to work on this project, and knowing that if I do find someone there will be obstacles to over come in regards to living in different locations and probably needing help with relocation. Since I lack basic resources to help anyone, I haven't advertised much yet. The few local advertisements I have made have turned up incompatible people who contacted me, but it has taught me to clarify what I am looking for much better.
