It really takes a toll to surf around political commentary websites these days. Lots of ‘we want this’, ‘you have to do this’ and even more detailed and complicated ways to mess up everyone. continue reading…

Random thought:
The larger a network or computer system, and the more centralized, the tougher it is to protect against catastrophic takedowns.
More elements and people results in higher probability of break-in. More centralization means more damage/loot in case of security breach.
Big, centralized systems thus equal high security risk.
Throw into that the decreasing effectiveness of state security enforcement, it might look a little… bleak.

But our concepts of organizing societies have not progressed for the last one hundred years.
Something I wrote for the folks over at LoTNV:
There are two kinds of dangerous rules: Those that do not work and those that most people ignore.
Both lead to broken peace and stalled life. The usual way of creating rules – law – was to create fixed rules from top to down and enforce them with surveillance and threats of violence.
This is an imaginative story, not a mystery. No religion, no guide, only inspiration. continue reading…
About everyone agrees that there is something “wrong” with how the world operates today – and we chime into that choir. But our analysis and solutions are radically different. What is it that goes wrong? What should be done instead? And, most of all, who should do it? What is our reasoning?
