Questions for Statists

chingalera says...

"Over time, we're going to see what works and what doesn't and things will generally settle down"
Illusion and fantasy...total confabulation.

A government is a simple creation really, it uses force to achieve the end goal which is control, not unlike a rapist or a thief-The antithesis of liberty in the example of say, the American government works because force is used by an immoral core of liars and thieves to achieve goals that benefit the few rather than the whole of society. Examples of just how fucked things are at face value VooDooV, why bother to cite the examples that are glaringly obvious to anyone who at their core, is a moral and free individual...pointless and insulting to anyone who can think.

Mind you, infrastructure and social safety nets enhance freedom, but what should the end-goal be? To enhance the moral framework of a society, which has surely not been done so far with the American form of government, on the contrary, we see the fabric of what makes a society prosper and maintain a fairness for all being eroded to serve the interests of a few, through force and control...through civil liberties being chipped-away at through surveillance and more prisons, more laws, more fines and punishments for more people, etc. Deficit spending pays debt forward to further enslave the recipients of services like roads and social welfare programs, higher education, etc. The freedom to make poor choices at a micro and macro level is what the current government is all about, getting worse every year.

Urban sprawl will continue as folks with pipe-dreams tout more green, less energy usage, cleaner burning cars and factories, etc. One 'problem' is addressed by creating one for another somewhere else.

Ever listen to Buckminster Fuller's idea of a 'green' or 'energy efficient society'? It doesn't use ANY of the current models of societal structure, it pretty much SCRAPS them all for a trans-formative way of moving forward. The old models are shit if they accomplish them through force and control of human activity. YOU don't live in a democratic system, in case you have been asleep for your entire life, democracy is only a fucking word, a concept not unlike any 'ism' created by humans in the past 3000-7000 years.

The financial structure of the United States is inherently evil. It can not be made fair and moral for everyone, it wasn't designed to. It is designed to serve the few at the top, with enforcers and regulators at the bottom-tier of their system. The government is NOT inherently evil but it has been hijacked by cunts.

Just because you think you know how politicians should perform, does not make it happen that way. Sane health care system? Nope. Maybe for the privileged classes-What they hand the masses is complete shit. National debt? Foreign policy? How would YOU do it? Then that's probably saner than the way it's being run, innit? Government is not needed for ANY of these aspects of a civil and moral society to function. All it takes is moral and sane judgement and agreement at solutions and for folks to voluntarily subscribe to these actions, without force, without police, without armies, etc.

Many more examples too many to pontificate upon, many variables of systems, all of which could function to afford everyone freedom and liberty, WITHOUT a government. The government is a construct just like everything else man creates-It takes willing humans to make them either function efficiently, or to scrap them for something new and improved.

I'm no libertarian, no anarchist, just a practical human being.
There are more reasons for scrapping the world system of government than there are for maintaining them, you simply refuse to see any other way THAN systems of government.

Mankind can self-govern if it does so with a formidable and sound moral compass...Is mankind doing that? It can also make the entire planet it's playground if it chooses to do so...Is mankind doing this??
FUCK NO!

Superstrong 'Buckypaper' Could Be Dream Material

Doug Stanhope about the British National Party

Trancecoach says...

R. Buckminster Fuller wrote, "There can be no planetary equity until all the sovereign nations are abolished and we have but one accounting system [i.e. electrical energy]."

&

"The 150 nations act as 150 blood clots in blocking the flow of recirculating metals and other traffic essential to realization of the design science revolution."

TEDx, Wade Adams: Nanotechnology and Energy

Trancecoach says...

‎"When I was three years old, the electron was discovered. That was the first invisible. It didn't get in any of the newspapers; nobody though that would be important! Today 99.99% of everything that affects our lives cannot be detected by human senses. We live in a world of invisibles. The fact that 99% of humanity does not understand nature is the prime reason for humanity's failure to exercise its option to attain universally sustainable physical success on this planet."

Unvelling of Dymaxion Car - Buckminster Fuller

spoco2 says...

I would say that pretty much any three wheel car would have stability issues, it's just physics.

But, this had worse issues than just that :

An accident at the 1933 Chicago world's fair damaged the first prototype badly, killing the driver, and seriously injuring the two passengers. The Dymaxion had rolled over, and although the driver was wearing a seatbelt, the prototype's canvas roof had not offered sufficient crash protection. The cause of the accident was not determined, although Buckminster Fuller reported that the accident was due to the actions of another vehicle that had been following the Dymaxion closely.[3] The crash prompted investors to abandon the project, blaming the accident on deficiencies of the vehicle's steering.


But, then we must remember that the cars of the day were of the ilk of these. So we're talking a pretty 'futuristic' car for the day.

Buckminster Fuller-World Game Synergy

....*requeue

Go bone up on Buckminster Fuller, then revisit your ideas about what you think the biggest hurdle to making this planet a sustainable place is......you are all wrong....

What does your username mean? (Sift Talk Post)

fullerenedream says...

"The fullerenes... are a family of carbon allotropes named after Richard Buckminster Fuller and are sometimes called buckyballs." (wikipedia)
Fullerenedream is a bit of a tribute to Tangerine Dream and Tryptamine Dream. It also vaguely refers to dreams of technology: cylindrical fullerenes are carbon nanotubes. "The strength and flexibility of carbon nanotubes makes them of potential use in controlling other nanoscale structures, which suggests they will have an important role in nanotechnology engineering." (wikipedia again)

In the end... I just thought it sounded cool.

Not exactly "well spoken" but a damn good point. Oh, Tesla, the things that could have been...

I still wonder if his huge antenna for distributing power for free woulda fried people though.

In reply to your comment:
Anything with Tesla gets an up-vote from this end of the world....Anything to bring Tesla back from the land of hungry ghosts.......They need to teach Tesla in elementary schools, and paint the true picture of the man, instead of the ruthlessly demonic spin, or complete lack of any mention. He made Tom Edison, Marconi, all his comtemporaries look like morons, (Edison, was an asshole) and his genius was met with derision from any backers, for they saw in a man who wanted to aid mankind, as a threat.

Tesla is the man that, had he had the support of the masters of industry and economy, we would all have free energy now, as well as a radically different, monetary system(s), landscapes, and lifestyles.

They treated Jesus quite poorly as well, innit?? Wilhelm Reich.....Buckminster Fuller.....cause they did not play well with assholes.

Those same asshole's progeny, are quite successful in their command of the planet, and they have the world, in a convenient state of distraction, while they dance their evil dance, against the souls of the sentients....
