Recognition vs. Violation: The Three Anarchisms

If you interpret Eden literally, They never even had to put that forbidden tree of alienation in the garden. They never had to give them/us the choice to keep or break harmony. They are a perfect harmony we cannot ourselves ever return to on our own, but only when They draw us back into it and we accept… again and again. The perfect harmony (Anarchism A) has always existed. The kingdom is everyone who hears it and keeps it and shares it. The perfect harmony (ontologically prior face of a circle) doesn’t grow like the kingdom (golden spiral forever filling it in).

P.S. I unblocked you because I no longer want to punch your profile picture because you changed it.

Kingdom implies a ruler or king, in your case God which seems paradoxical with your views of anarchism. The tree was a test of law against the temptation of sin disobeying God, human beings failed miserably and thus were punished for not following the law of Eden by being thrown out as wandering exiles. :clown_face:

…or a royal priesthood in the image of the king.

Where is the paradox?

Would you say the same about a kingdom of ends? Where do you think Kant got that from?

In religious priesthoods there is still hierarchy and authority.

Mutual submission & servant leadership is how that should look, or it’s fugazi.

Whacking a wolf is a very special kind of service.

By implying servant you’re still implying authority, doesn’t seem very anarchist.

If you serve from love, any “authority” “commanding” you to serve is like a 4-year-old telling you to sit down when they observe gravity is already confirming/concurring your choice to sit.

Besides, it doesn’t do away with power. It maximizes it through mutual empowerment.

Imagine if every member of a group concentrated power to every member of a group. What’s the math for that?

in america all the elections are rigged, warriors and sages are not even allowed.

only puppets or status quo people allowed.

by ALL elections i mean ALL elections, even state ones like senators, congressmen etc

Not that anybody is even reading anything I ever say:

Sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy. Binary categorisation is everywhere. What is the middle of this?

Between yes and no is maybe subsumed in maximal greatness.

Between good and bad is graded absolutism subsumed in omnipotent omnibenevolence.

Between true and false is a mixture of both subsumed in omnipresent omniscience.

Cooperation and contribution are survival traits. Binaries always oppose. Fuck binary. Seriously, I can’t think of anything that is binary apart from devised logic. Seriously.

First you have to strangle the potential (DC), then you have to turn it off and on like a tap? Off / on, why?

AC has raw potential, it can be used for all kinds of stuff, like ternary computing, for example.

How about play and recreation? Something “surviving” beyond the necessary?

If resources are taken care of, and you don’t have to worry about survival, you could playfully solve survival problems as if resources are actually an issue… Just because you miss having issues to solve.. And what if you wanted to find out what it was like to solve them together without killing each other? Just to switch things up. Pretend you already did it 500,000 billion different ways and it all ended up in mutually assured mass destruction (or… meh… just divorce), but this time you wanna try to avoid that and never forget that it’s all a game you just enjoy playing together. For funsies. Difficult funsies that make you feel like you actually accomplished something great.

OFF/no is just a damper — it doesn’t negate what is ON/yes — everything is conserved.

Pulse width modulation. Just a damper.

…are we talking about lasers? …what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

No I mean pulse width modulation is a bit silly when used to illuminate. LED bulbs use it.

No :light_bulb: what you’re talking about, sorry.

Binary only serves as opposite ends of the spectrum.

There is no such thing as absolute privation, or a slate so blank it has no configuration (of formal/final capacity)… you can rap that bit outside the parentheses, @Jakob.

Funny/ironic paradox/juxtaposition:

If wanting is consenting, and the ought is respecting all consents that respect all consents, then it is absolutely impossible for everyone to want what they ought not (at the same time).

Give that one a think, @ecmandu.
