Life Goal - Emancipation
My goal in life is emancipation.
Some people think "Money = Freedom", because they don't know what real freedom is. Revolutions are often led by the middle class, and never the lower classes of society. The reason this is, is because the middle class know what freedoms they were accustomed to, and they want it back. How can a lower class person know to fight for something they have never experienced? In this way some people think that "Money = Freedom", because it is the most freedom they know.
I have no flag. I was born in the flagless province of Northern Ireland. An officially flagless region owned by Britain. Flags and other symbols play upon hardwired tribe mentality. (I use "Irish Writer" at the end of my posts as a gimmick). I just see myself as an animal human. I have Irish and British passports but don't identify with any of these states. I have zero sense of nationalism towards any sort of state. In my eyes they are just technologically outdated institutions that meddle in people's affair and cause problems. People falsely believe in them as good forces, not realising the complex intricacies of how the state creates all the problems that the people expect it to fix. Outdated centralised institutions must be replaced.
No matter how much money I make in this system, I can never have true freedom when there are people who think they have a right to rule over me, or people who think other people have a right to rule over me, or people who want me to lead or follow. I cannot exist freely with an entity trying to rule over me or others no matter what form it takes. Even if I am "free" from the entity, I am not truly free if my friend is enslaved by the entity and can only come out to play two days a week.
I do not believe in the right of state even if the majority accept it. I do not believe in democracy. I don't vote. I didn't vote in the Brexit vote. It means nothing to me. The state continuously creates problems and people expect the state to fix it (it's an absurd game of make believe; a distraction). Modern democracy to me is 9 out of 10 people agreeing to gang rape. It is the majority choosing who will be the slaves and who will be the masters (even though they are still slaves to the system they serve). I want choice to walk away from these systems I don't believe in. Modern economics literally makes no sense (but because the majority haven't educated themselves on it I am forced into the absurd system others believe in). I shouldn't be forced to compete against anyone in a game of bizarro capitalism. I only compete against myself. I want to use cooperative economic models that give people freedom to live and to create.
Even if the majority believes I have no right to emancipation I will achieve it. Blockchain technology offers us a way to completely transform how we interact with the world in terms of both politics and economics. If you can conceive it, you can achieve it.

I find your words easy to identify with. Your last paragraph stands out. "I will achieve it". We have to be mindful too, that the tools we devise, utilize and develop, provided they can be (and thus far, have been) will be tracked, surveyed and infiltrated, managed and ultimately- dominated. This may indicate a false limitation in my existing perspective, but just as blockchain can be vulnerable like everything else, possibility and freedom continue to be companions of consciousness.
We can always keep our cards close to our chest and be five moves until checkmate without the competition knowing :D
Yes indeed
when you have enough money then politicaly and socialy create demand on you, that keeps presure on you against freedom.
wow so thoughtful article my friend, i agree with your words
i think we vote peoples not to rule us but we vote peoples to solve our problems but now a days the politicians use a vote as a business, first in elections they begging for votes and after they are in power they just spent their time in making money, they never things about public they just thinks how much they spent in political campaign and now how much they would earn in next five years. i think we have to use our vote more wisely now. Stay blessed and thanks for sharing.
