I am a huge advocate of free speech, and free belief. In fact you can and should believe WHATEVER YOU WANT as long as you don't force me to believe the same thing or pass laws based upon your belief that force me to do things against my will. Until you force me I view you as a fellow experiment in reality. I am curious to see what new things you come up with.

I will tell you now if you are being programmed and robotic and let other people do your thinking for you I'll see you as a waste of air unless someone can snap you out of it and get you to do your own experiment rather than copying others. I don't have much interest in millions of people doing the same experiment. That seems like a lot of wasted potential.

This could also be a big part of why I am at odds so often with centralization, federalization, etc. That is taking a multiple experiment situation and trying to consolidate it to one experiment.

When the outcomes of these experiments are vital to our survival I believe we greatly increase our chances of survival, success, and advancement when we have multiple experiments.

Consolidating everything down into a single experiment is much like hedging your future on whether that single lottery ticket you just bought is a winner or not. In other words to be blunt and brutally honest I see as INCREDIBLY STUPID AND NAIVE.

Just because consolidating down to a single entity makes things EASIER does not mean it is a SMART THING TO DO. In fact, the easy path is often the wrong one.

What is my point? Quit saying "The government should do X". Fuck that! Instead say "Hmmm... I should do this and see if anyone wants to help me." You'll likely do a better job, with less corruption and you won't be wielding the force of the government against other people that have no interest.

Better yet. Crowdsource it, Patreon it. Check out indiegogo.com, kickstarter.com, or patreon.com and think about the fact that so many of the things people want the government to "save me, save me, save me from having to do something" can instead be handled by you and others via crowd sourcing. Furthermore, the beauty of crowd sourcing is that it is 100% voluntary. You are not stealing my money because you think YOUR road by YOUR house needs better paint. Why should I pay for your road? However, you could crowd source it and you and all your neighbors could pay for whatever you wanted to do for your road.

If the government doesn't build the roads, who will?

I have news for you. The government doesn't build roads. They contract with companies who build roads. There is nothing stopping crowd sourcers or YOU from contracting with the same people.

So who would build the roads? The same people that do now. Yet, you don't have to steal from people to do it, and there is likely far less waste, and funneling of that money into things that you and I do not support.

Yet let's circle back around.

Yelling for the government to save you is trying to take an EASY path and consolidate reality down into a single experiment. It is stupid.

There are other ways to do pretty much anything that do not require you relinquishing responsibility to the government. It is even more likely to succeed when we have multiple experiments instead of one.

Furthermore, WHY DO YOU think you have the right to authorize someone else to steal from me and spend what they steal from me in ways I don't agree with. Hell, you likely don't agree with a lot of it either.

Technology has advanced enough that we could solve our needs without anything like any of the governments that exist in the world at this time. Has it ever been done? Nope. So what?
