I am writing this post as I am hoping to get various views and opinions on the subject. I am not a specialist on the subject whatsoever. I have been reading about the concept recently as I find it of interest. I also find that it fits in very nicely with the post that I have written earlier today.
I have written an article recently Free Society - I might have taken the red pill. Since then I have been researching the subject in a bit more detail.
In his book - Foundations for a free society, Eamonn Butler, make a lot of good points. I am not questioning his points, but I will have to question if us as humans, has the capability of actually living in a free society.
a free society operates on the basis of mutual trust and cooperation between individuals, not on the basis of power and coercion. Its citizens share deep cultural, personal and moral ties. They accept rules of interpersonal behaviour voluntarily, for their mutual benefit, not because these rules are imposed on them. Their governments have the consent of the governed, and are themselves governed by rules to prevent them exploiting their authority. A free society unleashes human talent, invention and innovation. That enables it to create wealth where none existed before. People in a free society do not become rich by exploiting others, as the elites of less-free countries do. They cannot become rich by making others poorer. They become rich only by providing others with what they want and making other people’s lives better.
Now all this sounds very wonderful, but this can only work if all of us have the ability to live in peace and agree to all the rules. I am just exploring and studying the subject at the moment. I might be totally missing the point.
I am now at the point where I ask myself the question: Who will decide what rules to implement, and secondly will we be able to accept these rules as a race?
We are used to the way we are living. The dog eat dog life, survival of the fittest, be on top of the game type of life. I am a very open minded person, who do not judge anybody against my personal believes, as I know that each and every one of us, had different experiences in life and as a result we have different believes.. Remember what I said in an earlier post. I believe we are all a result of our own history and experiences. Each of us have different personalities, religious believes, different cultures as a result of where we grew up and live … we are just different.
I love the way of thinking, to unleash human talent, invention and innovation, but as a result of the way we are currently living thing we are used to, it will be close to impossible to implement. One of the key areas where a system like this will experience problems from an implementation perspective, is that people are in general jealous by nature… And like the old saying goes … Jealousy makes you nasty :)
Another beautiful aspect in this conversation is that people can only become rich by providing other with what they want and make other people's lives better. Now this is a statement I love, as I live in a country where many of the poorest of the poor, do not have a chance to better their own lives. Our corrupt government is stealing their money and hiding everything from them. They do not have the ability to buy themselves bread, so why will they buy a newspaper to read … if they can read, as their childhood education was also stolen from them. The poorest of the poor do not have any means of educating themselves further, or even have the ability to watch television to have a better understanding.
I believe in the concept of a free society, but I am not 100% convinced that we as a human race will be able to adapt to the environment due to our histories and resistance to change
Happy Steeming!
