Stability (malady)Metatribers have spent their entire lives without a home. Every group they joined felt too narrow, and so eventually they moved to the periphery. Because of this, metatribers lack practice building stable community.

Naturalness (malady)Malady: Metatribers are often former nerds and need more fluency in things like intuition, expression, social grace, romance, etc.

Naturalness (antidote) Embed your village inside of a culture high in naturalness. eg Spain, Ireland, probably Sri Lanka. Get to know the mayor, help out your neighbors, get drunk with locals.

Doing (malady)While the metatribe includes a number of world-class entrepreneurs, the majority of metatribe members aren’t great executors yet. They spend too much time talking about ideas instead of enacting them.

Doing (antidote)Build on your land. Start lifestyle businesses. Not $1b startups, but, like, scaleable lawn-mowing businesses. This is both good doing-practice and will make your village more resilient with sustainable incomes. Also integrate non-yet-metatribe doers.
