Pultimily

 

What sort of word is pultimily? Well, back in the days of ICQ Michael sent a message to a friend only to find that “multiple” had come out “pultimily”. Thinking it sounded like a good name for a utopia, he made note of it. Therefore, etymologically speaking, it is not only a coined term but also a typo.

 

What does the word pultimily mean? Something along the lines of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" , "stronger together",  or "more than one", if it has a meaning at all.

 

What is pultimily? It's hard to say. It is concept that is still forming. You could think of it as a way of life, a philosophy, a religion, or political movement. It isn't any of those things yet, but there are similarities in where the idea is going.

 

The purpose of pultimily.ca is far easier to define. Michael created the website with the intention of building community by exploring his interests and documenting his recovery from burnout. Finding a way to pay his bills in the process would be a bonus. Even better, helping others in similar situations is a worthy ambition. To that end, there are several ideas in the works, though most of them are prohibitively expensive to do legally (one can accomplish a great many things if one is willing to ignore pesky things such as the legality of one's approach). One of the more ridiculous idea is a combination of farm winery, amusement park, university campus, renaissance faire, film studio, and summer camp. Another is to get involved in politics, whether as a neutral fact-checker, an advocacy/lobbyist group, or a grassroots movement political party. Which highlights a forgotten purpose of this website: to bounce around ideas and workshop them into something viable.
