You did this regarding your venture related to sea-steading.  Instead of seeking funding from people who were already on board with many of your ideas and therefore natural allies, you tried to "convert" people.  When you want money - or indeed any kind of material support - from others, you need to know your audience and adjust your pitch accordingly.  

You've been trying to get this community to fund your ideas without success for a year now - a year in which you could have been building networks within the communities which substantially support your own philosophies about life, the universe and everything.  That suggests to me that you're afraid to move outside your comfort zone and present your ideas to those communities even though the likelihood of you gaining meaningful support and encouragement from them is considerably higher than the likelihood of you gaining it here.  You might want to ask yourself why that's the case.


If that was true, you'd already have the funds you need to launch dank's Hookah Lounge and you'd be at work fitting the place out right now instead of arguing spirituality on a messageboard.  If you don't understand why you've been unable to raise the funds for this or your previous ventures, then you don't understand the real world.  You blame the lack of funding on people "not understanding you" or not being willing to "have faith in you" but you actively reject any suggestions to seek funds from people who are more likely to "understand" you or "put faith" in your ideas.  Given a choice between producing results and coming up with reasons why you have no results, you get to work on the reasons every single time and you always externalise those reasons.  Your reasons always put the responsibility for your failure on others, never on you, so you don't even learn anything when things don't work out.
