Excellent read. I feel sad for you that you discovered that most of the humanity lacks the ability to think logically even when confronted with valid arguments.
I have to partially disagree with one thing. You said that "forcing someone is evil". Now for me it is bad. Even before I knew about ancap, I basically devoted my life to being free and show people what it means (not getting yourself forced to anything - if it is not a willingly forced matter...:D). But who am I to say that it is EVIL? When we have the premise that most people are not able to think logicaly, isn’t only way how to ensure survival of the humanity to force them into doing what is good for the system? My opinion is that I don’t care whether humanity died or strived after giving every single human an option to choose freely, for me it is morally the right way to do so - let the humanity handle its freedom, let the evolution work. If we ever want to have a coherent unit, the system as we know it now is not the way. But maybe I’m (we) wrong. Maybe the forcing is necessary. Evil (bad) is strictly subjective matter. I know you stated that it is your subjective opinion, all I’m trying to say that maybe it is not evil, even though there will hardly be an individual who would make me think that way.
Touching text nonetheless. Thanks for that.
Such systems are purely artificial mental constructs. They only exist because human minds conceived of them and imposed them upon others.
Also systems once they are based upon imposition and force can be used to force ultimately negative activities, especially true if the people under it do not use logic.
I agree.
This is why I defined it. I also defined it in a way that transcended religion and does not rely on a religious perspective. Bad works as well, but then that would need to be defined as well.
I totally agree with your counterargument against the "forcing system". All I was trying to say was that MAYBE it’s better. I was trying to act as a devil advocate. We do think alike - it is not my opinion. I just like to discuss stuff with people:)
Yeah, that is fine I appreciate that. Differing views are where I learn the most, and they also are what help me strengthen my own ideas, or destroy them if the ideas fall apart.
