Ecologically and Socially Friendly and Sustainable, Anarchic Civilisation
Ok, this one is likely to be contentious, so let’s just start with the terms of discussion:
A question that just occurred to me, which I can’t remember being asked by anyone, but which is nonetheless a significant and important question … is how any proposed economic framework would recover from absolute collapse of the status quo (property/trade/currency based economics and all the rest). Continue reading “Recovering from system collapse: what if we can’t transition in time?”
In the general context of the world of formal academia, the answer is a definitive yes … BUT … it’s not actually for the reasons so many people seem to think, and so even within the context of that academic world, the greater and more correct answer is actually no. Unfortunately, not even a lot of academics understand this, so allow me to explain. Continue reading “Is a citation necessary for an argument to be valid sound and correct?”
Town planning, including the building of: agricultural, industrial, residential, transport and other infrastructure; can be more effectively achieved with far greater ecological, technological and social gains, by reconfiguring its protocols as functions of the principles of Ecological Systems Modelling & Thermodynamics.
To discuss this further, let’s revisit one recently published issue, that of population. Continue reading “Town planning as an ecological function”
This post is in response to one by Joe Brewer on Medium: Quite a few people did see it coming. I was one of them – on the subject of why ecosystems reach a critical threshold in terms of thermodynamics and particularly entropy. However my response is dealing with the historical, psychological and sociological aspects of answering the question why they didn’t see what others could.
Article response follows: Continue reading “Why haven’t people noticed the problems?”
I’ve seen a lot of articles resurfacing where environmental changes have become an excuse for people to argue a case in favour of the draconian infringement of a woman’s right to self-determination when it comes to her reproductive capacity and desires for raising a family.
Now, I have my own opinions on this like everyone else, but as usual with Open Empire, I put my opinions aside (in the design mode) and ask the logic and science to tell me how the system has to function in order to deal with the issue without betraying its own principles. Continue reading “Open Empire and voluntary population control”
I’ve just been doing research for my work in the general areas of networking, encryption and various Internet protocols … and it occurred to me to write this particular article. Continue reading “The irrelevance of digital piracy in the Open Empire framework”
I thought it was perhaps worth writing some brief words on this topic, given how many people mistakenly believe that anarchy equates to chaos; which is of course completely untrue. Quite to the contrary, it is hierarchy that leads to chaos; for both chaos and control are tools of hierarchy, which are used to give people a perception of security, and are thus mislabelled as bringing “order”, which would be more aptly described as domination. Continue reading “Anarchy and Order vs. Chaos, Control and Hierarchy”
Having done a few other posts involving the manner in which I think a thermodynamic approach to extreme cases of justice involving the killing of other species, humans, and the progression from these ideas into the realm of militarism … I thought I’d finish off the sequence with one last post dealing with the purpose of militarism in such a future, and how it is resourced given the lack of a hierarchical executive controller (civilian or military). Continue reading “Military activities and resourcing in an anarchic society”
Think about that for a minute …
… if you answered yes to any of the above questions, you might be completely stupid (see your doctor immediately). Continue reading “Open Empire: a world without inbuilt obsolescence”
