RE: Voluntaryism is a Moral Observation, Not a Detached, Utilitarian Philosophy.
The idea is clear: either we are intelligent people who use our reasoning to live together in peace, helping each other; or we are the fox of the prairie waiting for an opportunity, an oversight.
The evil is, we often say something, but our actions go in the opposite direction; so we are either bipolar or a string of hypocrites.
Our actions must be in blind agreement with our words, our values; but when we are touched by the wound, these values are omitted, because our brain - the organ of all our evils - emits impulses to safeguard its interests - integrity - and violence appears. Maybe everything would be different if we cultivated the Buddhist teachings... hahaha.
Creating government, a system of monopoly, double standards, and special protections, allows the very few predators among us the perfect place for them to control and rule over others. That's the main issue we have as the vast majority of peaceful people who are not predators. Without that system, those predators would not have the power and control they currently have. They would be equal under the law with everyone else, and they would pay dearly for their immoral activity.
Oh, I don’t think our brains are evil at all, in and of themselves. My brain is what allows me to assess and evaluate the world, and what helps to keep me alive. When it has been programmed and obstructed, that certainly is a problem, though.
I think self-interest is beautiful, and it is what ultimately allows us to keep peace, as it leads one to the realization that everyone else is in the same boat trying to survive, and helps us to help ourselves and others.
When people’s basic needs are met, they are almost always kind and good. The lie that the state and the media sell is that we are all evil and need a big “daddy” government to protect us from each other.
