Normies have no concept of spontaneous order. They believe that every system must be designed and enforced top-down. They insist on elaborate rituals in an attempt to find the smartest, most benevolent leader and hope they aren’t corrupted by the power.

The toughest frame to break

Michael Malice was the one who finally convinced me. He’s not often mentioned in the bitcoin space, but his anarchist philosophy is rock solid.

Agreed. I feel like he's gone in some strange directions lately, but still one of the better voices out there, for better or worse.

Have you read this?

It's one of my favorite books. Very underrated, quite complete analysis of the pragmatics of bottom-up soceities

I've got an enormous set of notes I took on this book. I'm currently trying to get them into a more sane state and will share the condensed version with the world when it's finished

I have not read this, but I saw nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m recommend it the other day. It’s on my list.

Move it to the top. It'll change your life
