I think I am proposing that it also boils down to our willingness to participate in it.

And in return a new product becomes available that is wasteful? Thus perpetuating the cycle. Are you saying it boils down to greed?
December 07, 2019 at 04:09
so you are saying that people are chasing success more than survival? The idea being "if I create this product people will flock to it, I will become ...
December 07, 2019 at 04:08
I wouldn't disagree that a big part of the issue is the sheer number of humans, but our unwavering desires to accumulate unnecessary products is a mas...

sushi, the resolution provided is to revert to less consumption. Of course I haven't come up with the end all be all solution for how to accomplish th...
December 06, 2019 at 20:49
Unless! Unless you have a total replacement that actually makes sense. You can throw out the system entirely if there is a completely new system that ...
December 04, 2019 at 04:14
But you can't expect people to naturally understand how to coordinate or cooperate without guidelines of some sort. It simply doesn't work out. Especi...
December 04, 2019 at 04:08
Well at least we agree on something.
December 01, 2019 at 18:00
Yes, but not at the expense of others.

Invest in gold and guns. Production is going to slow way down. Governments and economic institutions are going to change and fail. People will be figh...

Blockchain is designed to decentralize money. I like that. It takes part of the human out of the game and gives you honest organization of where your ...
November 30, 2019 at 17:42
Like I said, this is an idea and I don't really know what I mean by it. Basically what I am trying to do is limit human fallibility in the system that...
November 30, 2019 at 17:37
yeah I dont know anything about that, I have just always been skeptical of the electoral college system
November 30, 2019 at 17:33
Ok so maybe it's a voting system, but instead of electoral college, it's built like a blockchain. A blockchain is basically a transfer of money from o...
November 30, 2019 at 17:22
what do you mean by cooperate as little as possible always? Isolation? Or do you mean defiance?
November 30, 2019 at 17:11
yeah I have thought of that too and the best I have come up with is blockchain law, with ledgers and records. I dont even know how to conceptualize it...

If communities came together on this, there would be a higher chance of increased survival rates. It wouldn't be glamorous living, but possible.
November 30, 2019 at 16:57
Can humanity curve climate change? In my opinion yes. Will they? No, I doubt it. The majority is too focused on bullshit to actually see it through un...

Glaciers the size of Alaska that melt and provide water for the community. Sorry, I thought that was obvious.

November 30, 2019 at 05:00
Of course I don't really know exactly what I mean and I was hoping one of you would but I digress
November 29, 2019 at 16:13
I made a post about it and it disappeared into the nether
November 29, 2019 at 16:12
well I'm not opposed to revolution, but I am opposed to a non governed, lawless state or community. So take it as you will.
November 29, 2019 at 15:25
That's not anarchy, that's revolution.
November 29, 2019 at 15:13
you think just because I am trying to consider means of decentralization that all of the sudden I think anarchy is viable? Nah. I still want law to be...
November 29, 2019 at 15:13
I had this thought of decentralization of law and perhaps a blockchain representation of legality that can be voted on and documented on a ledger like...
November 29, 2019 at 00:01
ok so how do I do that and keep my day job? Now I'm all of the sudden a cop and so are my buddies under what guidelines? Our own? Someone robbed us an...
November 28, 2019 at 22:46
You also dont want too much water. The east coast lands especially are predicted to have increased hurricane potential. The tornado valley will have m...
November 28, 2019 at 22:08
oh so you mean mercenaries? So now we hire police based on what? What we want them to do for us? Not based on a lawful obligation, but an individual's...
November 28, 2019 at 21:58
So the soldiers are going to sit around and what? Take a vote? Say they dont feel like going to war right now?
November 28, 2019 at 21:54
Except what, no one is in charge? How do you propose that the military would operate if no one is in charge?
November 28, 2019 at 21:53
Social organizations? So you mean like the fda, the CIA, FBI etc. Same thing, different names.
November 28, 2019 at 21:52
that's also the same thing with extra steps.
November 28, 2019 at 21:49
And while we are on the subject... an·ar·chy /?an?rk?/ noun a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority. "he must ensure public ...

with CBS radio's and billyclubs. Right. So a cop
November 28, 2019 at 19:26
You are just saying police but with extra steps
November 28, 2019 at 19:23
Basically you need tons of water. Before it gets to that point, people are going to migrate based on weather conditions. Some places will be more comf...
November 28, 2019 at 19:15
Property by the great lakes is going to skyrocket, because that will be one of the few places with natural inland water supply. I think you will still...
November 28, 2019 at 19:12
I think the philosophy version is a short sighted attempt at some sort of ignorant "do what thou will" cliche, but I am referring to definition 1.
November 28, 2019 at 19:07
well that's not anarchy, that's voluntarism. vol·un·ta·rism /?väl?n(t)??riz?m/ noun 1. the principle of relying on voluntary action (used especially w...
November 28, 2019 at 19:04
just because you know that and I know that doesn't mean everyone else does. Even if they do understand what you say, that doesn't mean they care. Let ...
November 28, 2019 at 18:57
There are multiple examples explaining the same idea here. Hit and run, robbery, littering, but they are all based on the same premise. Crime is easie...
November 28, 2019 at 18:54
but you are missing the point. Under anarchy there is no incentive not to litter other than the individual's own moral compass
November 28, 2019 at 18:44
I mean that's just one example, but you all get the point.
November 28, 2019 at 18:41
Anarchists speak of the individuals policing themselves, but how can I possibly go to work and also play cops and robbers when I get jacked because th...
November 28, 2019 at 18:38
I try super hard to not be a shitbag. Doesn't change much, but it's the best I can do. We can all do this until we are blue in the face, but we are fa...
November 28, 2019 at 18:34
And people aren't going to magically stop being shitbags. Not anytime soon. Allllllllll of history: shitbags exist and usually prevail dominance.
November 28, 2019 at 18:31
Never gonna happen unless people magically stop being shitbags.
November 28, 2019 at 18:29
without law there is no incentive to "stay woke" if you will. There are no guidelines for morality. It's left to the individual, and I agree we should...
