RE: Response: Sorry Libertarian Anarchists, Capitalism Requires Government
Very nice analysis on a very interesting topic! I agree that humans do NOT have to have a government to rule over them. If you think about, you could let a child grow up away from society and it wouldn't behave badly at all. People only get influenced by the media, government, and everything we see and hear. Even money is not a natural thing. So if a human being's nature is just to be peaceful, without jealousy or any negative feelings that we have today.. wouldn't that be an ideal world where no government is needed? The human being is its own worst enemy, we're managing to destroy our own race and the planet we live in more and more.
So if everyone would influence their friends, everyone surrounding them positively, couldn't we make this world a better place? Of course there will always be psychopaths, but those are only 0.001% of the population. If everyone of us truly tried to change themselves, their views upon the world and their behaviour, I do believe we could change the outcome of this planet and we wouldn't need a ruler at all.
Indeed, a child growing up away from the modern western culture would not adopt many of the negatives of our culture. Humans are programmable, especially in their formative years. After that, we're no less programmable, but it requires intentionality to program us, and each of us has the right of first refusal over what we allow ourselves to be programmed with (though unfortunately, most of us do not exercise that right because we never learned how). I'm sure @hypno has plenty of comments on that. :)
You're exactly right: money is not a natural thing. It is a technology (albeit a very old one) and a tool (an extremely powerful one), and it is useful, but we have let it be subverted to do great harm even while serving its useful purpose. We must take back control of the money and only use moneys which follow rules which we can inspect and understand. Federal Reserve dollars follow rules the fed makes up on a whim and does not allow us to inspect or veto. This is one of the great potentials of Steem: making a cryptocurrency that everyone can understand and use, with publicly auditable, open source rules.
Exactly! Criticize by creating. Be the change you want to see in the world. Creative destruction. :) All in the pursuit of human flourishing. This is exactly the point of the Voice and Exit conference; it's worth checking out if you're not familiar with it.
wise words my friend - I can see that you know a lot about these topics and how everything ties together with rothschild, rockefeller etc and how money is being controlled so that humans don't even get a chance to really understand the concept of money. everybody is just lured into a trap, and only people who teach themselves and question everything get to the point where you are.
Awesome, I'm looking forward to your future posts because you sir know what you're talking about.
Didn't know about V&E, thanks for mentioning it.
