Oddbean new post about login | logout Many misuse the term anarchist. Many think anarchy is somehow a bad thing, which is utter nonsense when you realize what anarchy actually is. Anarchy means no rulers, not no rules. It’s an ideal, a noble and honorable idea…but also something that is never implemented properly when enough humans are involved. Humans are incapable of this ideal, at scale at least, as best I can tell. Too often anarchy is used as a synonym for chaos. And chaos is used by authoritarians as a springboard to dictatorial power. This is the antithesis of anarchy. You are a partial cryptoanarchist every time you use https to connect to a website. Why? Because you connect in a way where you insist nobody on earth can see what you’re doing. This is an example of a rule without a ruler.
Anarchists are pedos. Almost 100% of them.
Which sort of anarchist? The chaos cheerleaders or those that brought you the Internet?
I could argue both.
True, one could argue both. But they’re insightful arguing one way, and just kinda stupid arguing the other.
Al Gore gave you the internet.
Oh, yeah, I forgot. It had nothing to do with a global network of volunteers working with rough consensus over many decades beginning in the 1960’s.
No, not really. It didn’t.
Yawn. You must be new here.
I’ve been here longer than you. I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe. Hellthreads, penis butter & birthdays. https://image.nostr.build/d56ba1d6ebcf96a39c20e7a6153f27ebffc48d78d07d9753033993007bb15780.jpg
Oh, I see. You think here is nostr. It’s a big world out there.
Your boss is looking for you bitch. Back to the mines.
I don’t think you understand how medicine works. The word boss doesn’t apply. Just like the words business hours don’t apply.
Do you prescribe Ivermectin? Are you allowed to do that?
I’m a radiologist. But I’m starting to feel like I’m being fooled by a bot with fairly few lines of code. But on the off chance that you were actually curious about how prescribing medicines or using medical tests works in the United States, here goes: no government entity can tell a physician how a medicine must be used. Nor how a test must be used. But there are regulations on charging for services such as medicines and tests. Any physician can prescribe any drug in the best interests of the patient, bound only by malpractice, which is a standard set by local medical practices. But government can deny you payment.
No he didn’t 😂
There was one?
The internet as a concept and technology evolved over several decades, starting with the ARPANET, a project funded by the U.S. Department of Defense in the late 1960s. ARPANET was the first network to implement packet switching and laid the groundwork for the modern internet that led to advancements by others 1. Leonard Kleinrock: He developed the theory of packet switching, which became a fundamental part of how data is transmitted on the internet. 2. Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn: They are considered the “fathers of the internet” for developing the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which allowed different networks to communicate with each other. 3. Tim Berners-Lee: He invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989, a system of interlinked hypertext documents that allowed easy access to information over the internet. The WWW became the most recognizable part of the internet for most users. Al Gore is just a shithead climate change alarmist 😂
Maybe 200%. But seriously anarchism has history that I don’t think includes a large percentage (especially compared to the church). But I do wonder about all the weirdo-bros in the hyper-privacy movement.
I always thought humans hadn’t evolved enough for anarchism. Maybe some day.
Dang🤯 …Murray Rothbard would be proud o that explanation…I think it’s also a good explanation of why, beyond Dunbar’s number, anarchy begins to destabilize…and below Dunbar’s number makes the common defense against larger groups difficult …the primary value of a system of govt, imho, is the common defense…and as long as the burden of govt doesn’t exceed the value of the common defense it “works”…it’s when the burden becomes excessive for the citizens that “bad things” happen …spoiler alert: govt is very aware of this dynamic😳
