RE: A New Agreement, Just Between Us Friends
Depends on context. I govern my children, or I could hire a governess.
I'm sure the word was chosen specifically by the state to engender confusion between legitimate governance and their special brand of terrorism.
the state is insane.
you give it MUCH too much credit.
I certainly hope so.
there is absolutely no doubt in my mind. A brief look at history (which is a lie, which further confirms my contention) or a life long in-depth study validates my claim. The Iron Law of the Crazy Donkies
Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people":
First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.
Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.
The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.
George Washington knew that.
John Wayne knew that.
the only antidote is to THINK
we know this.
the entire purpose of the US Constitution was to be a restraining order of Government Power.
How's that working out for us?
I agree. I sometimes think there are two voluntaryist/ancap camps;
Those who think the government is a malicious, scheming entity, and those who think it's just a collection of malicious, scheming entities.
Looks like you and I each subscribe to the latter, which is great if true.
It means those few scheming entities who comprehend crypto will use that knowledge to feather their own nests, rather than burn political capital on trying to educate and mobilise their fellow schemers against the existential threat to the state.
My Philosophy of Life
(see my last post)
is that
the whole world is crazy
except for me and you
and I'm not too sure
about you
there is no
"State"
there are only a whole lot of people infected with various types of mind virus.
