Consensual Cooperation

Something thats perplexed me for a while is why the whole world seems to rotate around gov even when there doesn’t appear to be direct force being used. I talk about some possibilities of the incentive structure around large company’s

Centralized science coupled with politics has told us that changing metrics have simple good or bad outcomes. With a system as complex as the biosphere this couldn’t be further from the truth

I do. Not to the point where its a high priority in my life to preserve its health. But enough that id Exert some effort to keep it from collapsing. Many people act as if caring about the biosphere is a fundamental and universal value. This is simply not true. We dont need the biosphere, we dont have to care about the biosphere, we have transcended the biosphere and can now choose to keep it around for our own pleasure or not.

We've been sucked into a stick sweet whirlpool of complacency, helplessness, Resignation and entitlement called indefinite optimism. Where we assume everything will continue to progress with no effort on our end. even that it's impossible for individuals to make things better and that it's all up to some magical force of life behind the scenes. You are that force, you are what will concretely shape the world for better or worse. While The incentives of consensual cooperation may light the way they dont walk down it.

Progress doesn’t happen magically or for certain. We've been lulled into a sense of indefinite complacency and helplessness where we think we have little ability or need to build the world we want to life in.

The real root of value flow and subsequent pricing is what the people participating in said market value

We can either cooperate our way to prosperity or we cant. Being shackled by another human with the exact same flaws couldnt solve any problems individuals have

Government has always used fear of the external to induce feelings of Individual hopelessness so that we look to centralized violence to solve our problems. Pulling our attention away from our political systems grievances against us and onto their created problem of the day. This has always been a tactic to hold onto power when our support for them is shaking. But this time it's different, they know the internet is shaking there grip permanently so they will only clamp down tighter. The light at the end of the tunnel isn't coming, it will be a state of emergency forever and the unbearable weight of “necessary” restrictions until we fully break their chains.

More people are voting this year than ever and that terrifies me. This means that more and more people are looking to monopolized violence to solve their problems (almost all created by the thing they look too). Instead of looking to creation through Consensual cooperation to peacefully build their way out of these problems and make the state functionally obsolete.

Working for someone is a voluntary exchange of value. So no matter what time or for how much it happens it's benefiting both parties. Otherwise they wouldn't engage in it. Governments and unions use violence to prevent us from engaging in this essential transaction when we choose. This greatly decreases our efficiency and therefore wages and overall prosperity. As well as artificially commoditizing our hours rather than value created making us less creative while wasting more of our time. We can create value when we want how we want. We don't need violence to get days off.
