Thobani Mhlongo Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Good day all My name is Thobani Mhlongo from South Africa, Pretoria. I am currently possessing a degree in Media Studies and working towards Honours Degree in the same subject. I first made contact wth freedomain radio by accident, and the first book that drew my attention was "everyday anarchy." My understanding of anarchy was very vague and skewed. What I knew simply that it is a state of chaos where there is no government. Upon reading the book, I came to realise that my understanding of anarchy was ideologically loaded, biase and fashioned in a way they makes me see it as an impossible thing to happen, while in reality 70% of our lives is anarchic in nature.
Magnus Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Welcome! I agree -- I still remember a comment that Stef made in a short podcast a year or two ago -- that the globe is anarchic. Countries relate to one another, and there is no ultimate arbiter or authority. If it can work on that scale, it can work on our individual scale.
Thobani Mhlongo Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 Hi Magnus Yes, indeed. There is one the I like about phisophising, it's just train your mind to think. By nature, we are thinking being. I mean that thinking is the apparent feature which distinguish us from our counterparts (animals and plant), yet we remain lazy to exercise that important feature of human creature. This form of laziness and ignorant is mostly depicted in our voting behavior (during elections).
