Consensual Cooperation

The only legitimate argument against fully peaceful societies is that they simply haven’t happened on a large scale yet. I proposed that mabye part of the reason is that through social evolution the early authority figures gave subservient people a survival advantage as they have a strong incentive to stay in power and would give advantage to those that follow fully. driving us further into being chained by violent power structures and subsequently genetically shaped by them. Until being owned by kings seems as human as opposable thumbs.

Government has turned family, the structure meant to guide and support you in your earily development, into a violent relationship of ownership. Instilling helplessness, total obedience, and normalizing us to the shackles of oppression.

I talk about how statist use the fear of the unknown to perpetuate current violence. The incentives that naturally drive humans toward consensual cooperation over violence. And why I trust organic freedom to fill the few gaps left by the void of gov violence when it collapses.

When it comes to signaling value created, weighted actions mean far more than weightless opinions as they actually cost something to state. This is why 99% of economic decisions are based on what people do rather than say. Why is most of our information sorting based on weightless opinions then? I go into how we can change this.

Without some natural barrier allowing two populations of a single species to naturally diverge it would seem that the constant remixing of genes through sex in a population wouldn’t allow for one species to develop into two. I propose some ideas on how this could happen through sexual selection in this episode.

The collection and interpretation of information(science) has been partitioned from the rest of the consensual cooperation resulting in a breakdown of its incentive structure and a arresting of its value creation. Without science we are blind, and putting our eyes in the hands of coercive authority has left us with non to navigate the world with. We need to take back science if we ever want to achieve our personal goals.

Many statists have been drawn to the ideas of liberty and anti authoritarianism in light of the constant abuses of the state. There right to hold up these ideals but wrong to think that they can coexist with a non voluntary state that engages in wealth confiscation. In this episode I go into why wealth confiscation necessitates authoritarianism.

Majority rule. Held up by most as the ideal form of decision making and governance. But year after year we see poor management and the majority of people being dissatisfied with its results. In this episode I go into why majority rule is so ineffective and how it actively violates the rights of the Individual.

There are many paths to a voluntary society, and in this episode, I go into one of my favorites, Grey markets. A secure digital market place safe from the oversite of the state. Where alternative to the currently monopolized functions of the state can be developed without having to directly challenge it. Showing people the superiority of volunteerism while undermining the necessity and validity of the state.

The situation in Hong is quite complex with many different instances of force being used by the police and protesters. In this episode, I go into the major categories of such force use and which ones are justified. As well as how this use of force legitimizes or delegitimizes the movement.
