RE: Government is Slavery

in #news4 years ago

I interpret you as hoping for redemption. Since you speak of paradise and of winning.

In order to move from a centralised to a decentralised social order, autonomy of the small cells would be necessary, as you have presented it here.

However, I do not see this autonomy if these small cells in turn depend on raw materials that they can neither mine nor produce themselves. The 3D printers need to be filled with something, where does the filler come from if you can't make it yourself and where does the 3D printer come from if you can't build it yourself?

The building and construction plans of such technologies remain in the hands of those who have either the financial or the legal means.

The car, although the most common means of transport for the average person, is dependent on oil (and electricity). An autonomous household can neither produce petrol nor generate electricity without again relying on central resources and technologies. The sheer quantities demanded by car transport do not allow them to be mined in homeowners' gardens and yards.

Even if 3d printing technology were freely available, i.e. an open source, and they print themselves, you still need the matter for it. Where are you going to get it in the quantities you foresee? Who is going to mine the raw materials, transport them and to whom are the costs going to be given if not to those who want to buy it? If you want to make something cheap, the only way is through the mass market. That brings us back to the beginning, I think.

In order to use something autonomously, in order to achieve small-cell order, you have to go from being just a user to being an understander. Producing food absolutely requires an understanding of plant, insect and animal life, as well as an understanding of soil and air climate. In any case, it is a sequence of trial and error in practice, and only years of being a practitioner with a profound theoretical understanding of the technique you are using can bring about something like autonomy.
This path cannot be shortened. If it is, it'll be mass market. You're going from the frying pan into the fire.

Personally, I also find myself entangled in mental rescue scenarios. Such thoughts are at odds with letting go of solutions mentally and in the heart, which fuel the cycle of despair, hope and despair again.

I would say that you are perpetrating a fallacy that you condemn in those who believe that they are doing humanity a favour by setting up saviour scenarios. The latest technology is always touted as a promise of salvation.

I hope you do not take my words as offensive.

In my spiritual understanding, nothing in the world can have only one quality.

Greetings to you.
