Please read... Ponder... And discuss... (My role in life is like that of a bee; I visit, and carry information on to others.) There's a basic foundation to human irrationality that you need to be aware of. It's called division. If we know only of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division... Then there's no room for Spice (fractional parts do matter)! And division can create many slopes! Please read my pondering, think for yourself, then pass your thoughts on to others. Thank you, P^2 If a pdf doesn't appear, then send a request to [email protected]

A Government is ideas on paper being carried out by those who are beholden to these ideas, and these ideas are interlinked to reinforce the Government; i.e. I was arrested for 'resisting arrest', when all I did was 'ignore a policeman's order'. Ethics -- In an ethics course I learned of 10 (ten) Ethical Theories, and after analyzing them... Only 4 (four) remained viable. Therefore, an ethical decision is made if three (3) theory outputs agree. If it's a tie, flip a coin -- consequence via time will determine if correction is needed. Anarchism (as a growth and maintenance force) is flexible and adaptable (via an ethical decision making process-tree) for all people, Whereas Government (as a growth and maintenance force) is fixed (adapts slowly?) and is self reinforcing by and to, those beholden to 'ideas-on-paper'. I hope this helps clarify my original (cryptic?) post. Best regards, p^2

I agree with your point. When I was teaching Math & Physics I often started with an overview, then, like using a microscope, zoomed down to see what's there. I let the students control the zoom via their questions.

Select definitions for words used then re-phrase your comment. Lets not 'beat-around-the-bush'. Thank you, P^2 Your on track RichardY! De-centralization is key in self-sufficiency -- an event will no longer result in 'tens of thousands' without electricity or water. Damage is localized, those effected will bind together and determine future action. I believe Stephan mentioned some philosopher that stated 'a city should not harbor more than 100,000 citizens' -- something like that. p^2 Hi ProfessionalTeabager, It's a choice as long as your choice is aligned with their plan. If government has a plan, they have a structure. And they will place (force?) people within that structure coercively. TSA for air travel? TWIC cards for port workers? If you want to travel or work for a DOT regulated facility you need to comply to their rules. Coerce: verb | to cause to do through pressure or necessity, by physical, moral or intellectual means (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=coerce) When government coerces a person to sacrifice personal information to become employed by a private, or public, entity they are exercising undo force. (There trying to find a needle in a haystack by subjecting all to bend to their plan.) All for now. Thank you ProfessionalTeabager. Best regards, p^2

Hi Tyler, Today I learned there is a decentralized DNS system called 'name-coin' that is trying to sprout -- it's based upon bit-coin block-chain technology. I believe human systems should be emergent, and cannot be controlled by any centralized entity. If this name-coin technology establishes itself your digital assets will become protected (less vulnerable to removal) via distributed block-chain ledgers. Research 'namecoin' and determine if this path seems reasonable, (Much work is needed for this idea to 'grow roots'.) Hope this helps. p^2

I feel a connection between Stephan's rants/insights/teachings and Earthships. If you explore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3Zm6iUP1aA, you will find connections. We are learning that there are no magic formulas to predict the future... But your actions will influence future outcomes. p^2

Newtonian implies a fixed framework which all must adhere to (ideally). Einstienian implies a flexible framework, one that adapts to its surroundings and is not constructed to 'cage and control' the masses. (The masses shape their surroundings and their actions.) If one builds from the ground up (without a predetermined outcome) properties emerge which are not linear combinations of the basic building blocks; a new property emerges. A coercive government is aimed at keeping the masses aligned within their 'Newtonian Cage". Choice is the first step to break out of their cage. Universities should be a source of truth, and Libraries should make this truth available to all.

Government is Newtonian, i.e, a framework (surroundings) is constructed for you to work within. (How do you bend/add-on to this framework?) Anarchism is Einsteinian, i.e. your surroundings (framework) are shaped by your existence and actions, and you have been shaped by past events. (Leaves flutter in the wind.) --- Let Universities aide in refining reality... And let Libraries be a place for reflection! --- Living With the Land is an Emergent and Natural process that All should embellish. No reply requested, it's a seed (food for thought). p^2

NATO specified ammunition allows any country to buy enmass, and from many, many a supplier. What if ALL only use bolt action rifles and pump action shotguns -- built entirely within their Country. And the only option is a bayonet mount? Can that become a standard? A stick-in-the-mud? That's it.
