Oddbean new post about login | logout For me it too is based on consent. It is not based on which system "makes everyone more equal" but rather I choose which system I like based on "consent". With the follows, the concensual trading of goods. I'm pro-market because it is a product of that thinking, not because it is "better" - i.e. if some people lose out (as is life) then I would still be pro-market.
That's an interesting approach. So you are open to different options and you may offer consent to a different model. Right? I don't have one though unfortunately 😀😟
No one has come up with anything other than that, and it may not be possible. Without consent, there cannot be any moral transfer of value, be it property or knowledge or time or anything.
Propaganda is a consent creation mechanism though. So consent is relative.
The standard of consent I use is informed consent. This protects people who are hoodwinked or defrauded in a system where consent is the standard and contract law is the Supreme law of the land. People who exploit others are not acting in a moral capacity and will, eventually, be exposed, and, in a freer system, exposed faster. This is the beauty of things like BTC and nostr. They cut out everything that isn't consentual, and are therefore, IMO, some of the best devised means of consentual transmission of ideas and value.
Well, for example. There would be nothing wrong from you creating a covenant community on your own property (land) where by people admitted must follow your rules. There would be nothing wrong with a commune that existed in that sorts at all. Would I join such a community? No, but I wouldnt stop it from existing.
Yeah me too.
Many convenant communities exist IRL, I cant speak for the US but where I live, in South Africa, a place called Orania is well known for this. Intact, internationally known. Do look up Orania
I will look about Orania. I like examples. I can't speak for the US either. nostr:nprofile1qqsqdzwltpr635ehdzfd52tz947qlhq77x2c7j7yguwep9n258k2nuspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qg7waehxw309ahx7um5wgkhqatz9emk2mrvdaexgetj9ehx2ap0vqtr53 can. And btw thanks, the beave, for another nice discussion.
So Orania is interesting indeed. Especially since they are calvinists. I hate calvinists 😀. I need to know more about their economic system. Except the fact that they get interest from deposits from South African banks, do they have loans and ursury in general? Is their discount voucher system something like the Argentinian truecke, only more digital? If they don't have loans and ursury in general, then this is very, very interesting.

As for currency they have vouchers, etc. There is a digital counterpart but I don't know much about either.
