@VoluntaryJapan 22 April 2022 more from that month

Miscellaneous Thoughts, Observations, Music 2 People look at the impossible internet… At mind-blowingly complex international business relationships… At insanely efficient spaghetti clusterfucks like the Tokyo metro, and think: Yep, normal stuff. But decentralized governance by self-ownership? “Impossible.” *** Me: Interaction between people should be voluntary. Them: Yeah, but that’s utopian, there will always be violent people. So we need systems for defense. Me: Agreed! But based on self-ownership. Not systematized, willy-nilly violation of the non-violent. Them: Pshh. Utopian. *** Just dreamed my childhood friends came to visit me (no real sense of community anymore). I also was trying to drive a car from the back seat (no sense of control in life), the doors were opening and closing (no security), and I absentmindedly had opened a beer (legal criminal). *** Looking back, I think this is a good one. Seems especially fitting, now. Though I had issues with other songs on the album, this one hit I think — recorded with two of the most talented guys I’ve played with. No worldly recognition. But I’m proud of this. https://youtu.be/GNDs5kwQRvU *** All these influential people, supposedly so smart, saying they want to change the status quo, and basically none of them talking about voluntaryism as a solution. Simple, basic consent. An oversight? My conclusion is they’re either not that smart, or they’re playing a game. ***
