read this article and think about the so called "social contract"
the thing is .... currently "the government" is a monopoly on the initation of force AKA the state
but there would be no central authority in a nation of decentralized legal systems.... so you would have many more choices as a consumer
cuz im talking about a *polycentric* government rather than a monopolistic govt
with true checks and balances
where the votes of others arent forced upon you arbitrarily by mob rule .... and where you cannot force your will (democratically) onto others either
just think about it though.... in order for a contract to be legally valid here and now as it currently stands, EVERY single point/requirement of the contract needs to be satisfied, otherwise its a null-and-void, invalid contract .... illegitimate
anyways.... im getting burnt out.... feel free to PM me if you want to talk more tho
but we both agreed that there needs to be some form of macro governance because some problems are macro scale. and enforcing the laws of that macro govt requires some form of centralized authority (i.e., preventing several disparate private legal systems across the land from polluting shared natural resources). if you are a polluting tribe, you will have votes from non-polluting tribes forced upon you "arbitrarily by mob rule". i dont see how the macro governance in a private system would be more benevolent than the macro governance today.
ya same need to get some work done
nice chat tho 👍
good talking with you so far about this tho, is still enjoyable for a friendly debate 😇
thanks, you too, anytime

i hear your arguments though..... theyre valid concerns, but i still disagree with some of yoru premise that "macro govt requires some form of centralized authority" bcuz that is the beauty of emerging systems and spontaneous order
if you just take a look at computer technology.... just look at USB standards..... no centralized macro state authority dictating these standards... they have all arisen in common interest by tech companies and consumers ... that is an example of how emergent systems work... they EMERGE from the primordial waters of chaos and evolve into more structured order organically
these systems must *emerge* from the bottom up through *macro* voluntary human interactions.... not be imposed from the top down autocratically by self-serving politicians is what im saying
thats the invisible hand at work, and how it sorts everything out in the end..... nobody knew what would be on the other side of abolishing slavery ... and there were tons of doomsayers ("who will pick the cotton? somebody needs to pick the cotton! we'll all starve to death"), but just look at how the market solved all the problems with farming technology, etc. so it was a win-win for everybody to abolish the immoral practice of slavery
anyways..... lol 🤓
let's say this is something I should know
in discord is there a way to jump to alerts
dont worry about them, it was a spammer
ahh
@LotheronPrime for future reference, look for the @ symbol. On mobile (andriod at least) it's under the upper left menu for changing servers, down by your name. Browser is usually in the upper right somewhere I think. That will show you recent mentions so you can jump to them quickly
that's what I was looking for thanks
knew there had to be a way

....that shit is imprinted into my consciousness
the fact that it's a meme.... is the meme
and for so long
It's weird that it blew up so much recently. Are we going to see people saying "thanks doc" everywhere in a few years?
Note to Tim: Niger is not pronounced the same as the beginning of Nigeria. Say Niger as if you were French.
can y'll imagine if this was released today
