@passenger@kolektiva.social @Huntn00 @HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @nil@functional.cafe @ScottSoCal No not really. I like the idea of laws agreed to by the majority as rules that limit extreme behavior. Why don’t you ping on the guy who claims the State harming citizens is never acceptable? If this ties into the idea that no state is legitimate, then I disagree. And I might assume the view is states are illegitimate but feuds between clans is better for OK Corral resolution.
@HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @nil@functional.cafe @ScottSoCal @passenger@kolektiva.social You are never going to get total agreement from the people, laws are necessary, rules that a majority agree to so there is a way to peacefully resolve disagreements, commonly agreed to rules of society.
@HeavenlyPossum @nil @passenger
I reject the premise of your question, and I'm not playing your words games where every law is inherently a personal attack. Laws are necessary for society to function.
@Huntn00 @ChrisBoese That story is a little scary. I can say I lived through the golden age of music, and now maybe I lived to see our AI overlords. Maybe they can do a better job of ruling, except I know who programmed them. 🙃

@RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social @ScottSoCal But with humans as I perceive them, I don’t see that being chosen as a philosophy to live by without a catastrophic nudge. And even then, I don’t perceive it as an end point, but a transitional point in the wake of breakdown. And as a generalization, I don’t see it as peaceful, but just another opportunity for power centers to form. I admit I could be mistaken, but humans will need to fundamentally change. 🤔
@RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social @ScottSoCal The choices we make as a group kind of make it preordained. The idea of the #TheGreatFilter if you put credence in the idea, only serves to illustrate the difficulty of navigating this point in our development. I can say “wow” anarchy what a great idea! … if it can be achieved as a “peaceful” stable state of existence. That’s undetermined no matter how many papers I read. (Continued)
