Oddbean new post about login | logout Is it too far to call for a violent revolt? Oh happy Halloween btw
Nope. But play chess with it - get the other side to be violent first.
But neither side wants to abolish government 😔
You can’t abolish government just like you can’t use your hands to choke yourself to death. You can starve the government to death.
Good analogy. I'll add : Any method of abolishing the government would have to be superior to the government at mobilizing resources, which means that instead of abolishing government, it actually builds a stronger government. That's the history of all revolutions. So, you really have to starve it.
You and I are on the same page. Well met.
Well met!
government is centralization, what ends it is decentralization with decentrtalization technology available in the form of money its communication and organization facilitation capabilities will exceed, per person, the efficiency of production funneled into a centralized system partly because the aspirations of power are petty and they value their power above actual efficency
To what end? Create divinity to conquer evil. Evil only begets more. Remove yourself, defend yourself, strengthen yourself. This is the way.
