🥂 Amparo + Gustavo, tu amor inspira! Deseo que completen salud y felicidad, juntos. ✨
I've heard marriage dryly referred to as 'the ultimate business transaction'.
Entrepreneurship comes close, as far as required commitment, is concerned.
All transactions can happen with care and consciousness...
with friendship and affection...
with healing + redemption, in an often heartless marketplace.
Agorism
Samuel Edward Konkin III (SEK3)'s idea of counter-economy is important to me. It's defined as "the sum of all non-aggressive Human Action which is forbidden by the State".
I was instantly and strongly drawn to it as the kind of philosophy I want to LIVE. The kind of ecosystem in which I want to PARTICIPATE.
This form of economics:
"allows for immediate self-liberation from statist controls, to whatever degree practical, by applying entrepreneurial logic to rationally decide which laws to discreetly break and when."
Entrepreneurial Logic
Similar to free market principles, I find the bounds and parameters of "entrepreneurial logic" to be a rich zone in which to work, play and connect.
I love to keep the state OUT of my affairs, and inspiration fully loaded IN them.
I agree with the practiced premise, from The New Libertarian Manifesto that:
"It is possible, practical, and even profitable to entrepreneur large collections of humanity from statist society to the agora. This is, in the deepest sense, true revolutionary activity..."
Cryptocurrency is a key mechanism of that activity.
And so are sunflowers. 🌻
You'll see what I mean.
Hang on, just one sec, please...
I was introduced to Daphne's artwork 3 months ago,
at the mansion-warming party of 
While there, I got a henna finger tattoo from her that I LOVED,
and wrote about HERE. This is a pic of it:
One day on Facebook, I came across this cake-frosting video.
Yes, frosting.
It made me think of Daphne, and her artwork.
So I sent it to her.
Quite amazingly, she replied:
"When I do tattoos, I imagine I am decorating a cake."
"I want to be a baker."
What are the chances of THAT?! lol
From that moment, all I could see, was cookies + cakes...
...AS CANVASSES FOR HER. 🍰🍪🎨
Can you see it, too?
Girasoles is 'sunflower', in Spanish.
I was told the Sunflower is Amparo's favorite flower, so that's why it's on top.
Small things matter. I love Daphne's deep care.
Interested in her designing something for you?
Contact Daphne, the artist, HERE. Or Nancy, her mom, HERE. Or Denni, their business manager, HERE.
I highly value people who create beauty.
Beauty-makers help me fall deeper in love with Life,
which makes me want to find ways
to add ease + value to their life.
And on and on... We can:
(1) RECOGNIZE the gifts, talents + special abilities
in those around us;
(2) STIMULATE those gifts, talents + special abilities
with economic incentives for their use; and
(3) COMPENSATE those gifts, talents + special abilities
using agorist wisdom, entrepreneurial logic,
cryptocurrency, trade, barter, or some other stateless way...
