We reject: kings, presidents and voting.

We believe in: rough consensus and running code.

This is the way

This is the way

Well said

I agree with him.

Truth > Majority

Democracy is for suckers

Succinct and resonant.

Consensus through humming?

If society was ran this way there’d be far more harmony

💯

UUUGH. i hurt my eyes rolling them back into my head...

synching collective consciousness tuning through artificial stimulation of brainwaves is biowarfare and a control mechanism. not to mention it will give you real cancer and dementia.

Too bad you have no choice but to conform ... There's no voting.

i wasn't trying to "vote". of course there's a choice. how ridiculous. i don't hear or feel a thing.

We did this in an acting class I took. Beautiful exercise. We also did improv stories through motion, without words, led to some really deep and touching stories (we watched the replays), breathtaking.

Try this exercise with a partner:

One person hums/beat boxes and the other person dances.

Soon the dance will influence the hum/beat and the hum/beat will influence the dance, it will be hard to tell who is leading. It will be a beautiful exchange, ebbing and flowing.

If you are classically inclined as my voice coach was you can try adapting Bharatanatyam to this exercise.

Wonderful lady of culture and taste who is still working at the age of 70 and has coached many actors in LA.

Bharatanatyam gets real deep.

The hand and facial gestures are a coded sign language able to recite legends and spiritual ideas from the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, the Puranas and historic drama texts.

More please.

...and the market.

Amen to that 🤝

So true..💎🧡😁

How does rough consensus differ from voting?

Fuck it all politicians!

Rules without rulers⚡️💯🔥🧡

Irony

you lost me at 'dave is a real fascist'-

"Lack of disagreement is more important than agreement".
