This sounds agorist in nature, but can we agree that it is far from anarchy?

Yeah Agorism is how I would choose to define it.

How do you define anarchy in this conversation? It’s a word that’s been co-opted and the meaning distorted. Similarly to socialism and communism, just according to their original definitions.

Rothbard and others refer to themselves as anarchists or anarcho-capitalists and have written extensively about these types of economic philosophies. Opt in, market / economic driven societies. I thought this is what you were referring to. Maybe we’re just not defining the word in question the same to start.

I tend to define anarchy as the absence of adherence to the rule of law or social and cultural norms. I see it as a state of animalism where self gratification is the only tenet attended to. As such, humanity would devolve to a lone wolf mentality, with survival at all costs ascending to the top priority, followed by unconcerned procreation. If it sounds familiar, maybe you saw it on Animal Planet. 😒

Sounds like San Francisco 😂😂

Yeah we were speaking on different definitions. Anarcho-capitalism or Agorism imo can work and work better for the individual than the nation state model. But like I said before tech has to improve still for smaller Agorist societies to flourish. It’s happening though! We’re here watching and participating in some big changes.
