Something thats perplexed me for a while is why the whole world seems to rotate around gov even when there doesn’t appear to be direct force being used. I talk about some possibilities of the incentive structure around large company’s

Consensual Cooperation

Why company’s act out govs will

Centralized science coupled with politics has told us that changing metrics have simple good or bad outcomes. With a system as complex as the biosphere this couldn’t be further from the truth

Health of the biosphere is not straightforward

I do. Not to the point where its a high priority in my life to preserve its health. But enough that id Exert some effort to keep it from collapsing. Many people act as if caring about the biosphere is a fundamental and universal value. This is simply not true. We dont need the biosphere, we dont have to care about the biosphere, we have transcended the biosphere and can now choose to keep it around for our own pleasure or not.

Humans dont have to care about the biosphere

We've been sucked into a stick sweet whirlpool of complacency, helplessness, Resignation and entitlement called indefinite optimism. Where we assume everything will continue to progress with no effort on our end. even that it's impossible for individuals to make things better and that it's all up to some magical force of life behind the scenes. You are that force, you are what will concretely shape the world for better or worse. While The incentives of consensual cooperation may light the way they dont walk down it.

The regressive trap of indefinitism

Progress doesn’t happen magically or for certain. We've been lulled into a sense of indefinite complacency and helplessness where we think we have little ability or need to build the world we want to life in.

If we want a better future we have to build it

The real root of value flow and subsequent pricing is what the people participating in said market value

Supply/demand is only part of the picture

We can either cooperate our way to prosperity or we cant. Being shackled by another human with the exact same flaws couldnt solve any problems individuals have

Freedom is the only sensical choice

Government has always used fear of the external to induce feelings of Individual hopelessness so that we look to centralized violence to solve our problems. Pulling our attention away from our political systems grievances against us and onto their created problem of the day. This has always been a tactic to hold onto power when our support for them is shaking. But this time it's different, they know the internet is shaking there grip permanently so they will only clamp down tighter. The light at the end of the tunnel isn't coming, it will be a state of emergency forever and the unbearable weight of “necessary” restrictions until we fully break their chains.

State of emergency **forever**

More people are voting this year than ever and that terrifies me. This means that more and more people are looking to monopolized violence to solve their problems (almost all created by the thing they look too). Instead of looking to creation through Consensual cooperation to peacefully build their way out of these problems and make the state functionally obsolete.

Voting for violence

Working for someone is a voluntary exchange of value. So no matter what time or for how much it happens it's benefiting both parties. Otherwise they wouldn't engage in it. Governments and unions use violence to prevent us from engaging in this essential transaction when we choose. This greatly decreases our efficiency and therefore wages and overall prosperity. As well as artificially commoditizing our hours rather than value created making us less creative while wasting more of our time. We can create value when we want how we want. We don't need violence to get days off.

Restrictions on value creation hurt everyone

There's constantly parallels being drawn between the evolutionary forces that drove the progression of primitive life to the market forces that drive the progression of individual prosperity. And while there are some similarities the differences are far more stark.

Evolutionary competition versus value creation competition

Patents are a ticket to use government violence to prevent others from creating value with their property. Literally restricting them from using what they own in certain forms. An idea for value creation is a very small part of creating value. Building and managing the systems necessary to do so is the majority of the difficulty. Therefore patents actually incentivise people to do the easy part of value creation then execute horribly on the difficult part as there's no competition. Holding us all back from getting the best products/services possible.

Patent use is violence

Our individual value scales determine everything about what is created, how it's created and how that affects the biosphere. The gov has implanted this idea that the individual is helpless to direct production and run away uncontrollable companies will destroy our environment to make a buck. So the only solution is to give the gov more power to use unilateral violence to prevent companies from doing so, This is totally unfounded. Companies only make what you buy. If you want something made with processes that are more expensive but less damaging to the biosphere you can do so. We have total control over production. If we choose to protect primitive life at some cost to the rest of our value scales we can do so. If we choose to destroy all primitive life to make ours better well good, that's what we wanted. There's no objective good or bad just what we want. And as we’re the most advanced form of life we have this option by default.

We have total control over our biosphere

The most Versatile weapon the state welds is using there Monopoly on violence to force us into a situation out of our control (only because they’ve striped us control) to cause panic and helplessness. Demanding more control as we obviously cant fix a problem that we didnt cause thats being violently enforced. A textbook example of this being governments causing economic destruction with the lockdown then touting that freedom and self interest caused it and we need to have less control over our money as we supposedly cant act in our own best interests. The other day i had a terrifying thought, if the state starts to feel there support failing(happening rn) they could Collaborate to start a nuclear war. Allowing them to both completely scramble any movements against them by wiping the board to square one and have an excuse to Seize total control. Through inducing a state of fever pitch panic and helplessness. “Justifying” a “Temporary” abolition of private property and all rights. As is already spelled out in Military documents. A truly terrifying thought but as the lengths of our current lockdown insanity has shown very possible. We must get these weapons of large scale destruction out of the hands of the most murderous and powerful systems as soon as possible.

Nuclear war, the final state of emergency

The institutionalization of science has pushed a coercive consensus onto our agreed upon information. Engraving obviously incorrect ideas into the foundations of entire scientific frameworks. Entangling progress in a web of frozen nonsense.

The tragedy of groupthink

We dive into the movements and ideas that are behind the rise of consentual cooperations replacement and rejection of the violently enforced state.
