    “Small communities of like minded individuals form and cooperate to solve food, safety, water and shelter concerns” - you literally described government. At its core, that is exactly what a government is.

    Do “anarchists” hear themselves? I don’t know if OP is an anarchist, but this is why I don’t take them seriously. Their ‘ideal society’ always leads back to what is—in its most fundamental form—a government.


  • Genuinely thank you for this explanation. I never thought about how this is basically a fish (oil) vs fishing pole (solar) situation. Oil companies don’t want to give you the fishing pole to do it yourself, they want to charge you fish by fish, gallon by gallon of oil to maximize profits.

    That is until solar-electric companies start banking electricity in huge batteries, then meting it out for a fee. Pretty sure that hellscape is in the works.

    Damn son, your comment did NUMBERS!!! I got RATIOED!!! Will I ever recover???

    And yeah no totally, my post was all about prognostication. You’re so right. My comment was absolutely telling people to predict the future and not at all about the IRONY of moving away from Nobels and to a different awards system that 20 years ago gave a peace prize to a women who would go on to launch a literal hate campaign.

    But come thru Megamind! You’re a genius!
