TDS TDS social thread vs follow the yellow brick road

I think complete anarchy would be incredible. Things would be a horrendous whirlwind at first but eventually things will be sorted out on their own. People will base their new "laws" based more on survival and cohabitation instead of enforcing societal "norms".
 
There are so many different interpretations of what anarchy actually is that I think it is just as likely that all of the anarchists would kill each other as it is that they could work together.

If anarchy is defined essentially as society after a reset button has been pushed - whatever happens...happens...- well if the people got together and chose a democratic state again, would that democracy not still be part of the anarchy?

I support the idea of anarchy being essentially a world without a hierarchical power structure, which is appealing because most evil comes out of people having power over other people. It is only an ideal, as a lot of localized power structures would evolve. But without it being centralized, there would not be a desire to climb as far to the top as possible (how souls get corrupted). Would just be extremely difficult to not have it become globally-centralized if we are to keep global technology. And any force in place to prevent it from becoming centralized would necessarily violate the entire thing.

Political philosophy and head-spinning on a Wednesday morning.
 
^basically world without a hierarchy is where I was going with it, but I didn't consider the technological aspect after the "reset"... unmarked food for thought as I fall asleep.
 
I feel fucking great today. My cough is gone from smoking too much weed this weekend. I was super productive at work. I ate healthy food, and failed to acquire any bad stuff while shopping. I went to yoga and had a great workout.

But none of that matters, because I feel happy, and am not thinking about killing myself.
 
That's awesome kay.

I too have had a good week. Other than the fact that one of my cats has been gone for a week today, I got a date with a girl that works at my local supermarket, had a friend over last night for a little fun, have no commitments left this week (I completed them all in 2 days. YAY Productivity!) and have plans for a good weekend. I'm in a positively glowing mood today.
 
tired and emotionally drained

lots of school shit, recovery obligations, and juggling women. I got 3 local women and 1 in new York. also helping a friend with advice as he's quitting weed after smoking excessively for like 10 years daily and giving him advice about stopping drinking too. attraction rather than promotion my friends.
 
I'm all over the map emotionally lately, but I'm doing better in some ways now then when I was trying to ignore my problems. Bàby steps right now, but if I just keep making baby steps I'm bound to get where I want eventually.

I never know what each day is gonna bring moodwise. Some days I feel so blah and don't feel like doing anything, then this morning I woke up with this wicked hankering to play a tabletop rpg, which I haven't done in years. I think that's actually a good idea for making some friends and doing something social. I might draw up a little ad to put around town looking for folks to join. I even ordered myself a new dice set.

I just really need some irl social activities. I isolate so much when I'm going through a rough time, and it's not good for me. In some ways I have always been a bit of a loner, at least I do like to have a decent amount of alone time, but I also love being around friends, and it's good for me. I haven't made any friends since I moved to this little town and I need to make the effort, it will change my whole world, I know it will.
 
^That sounds so much like me kitten. It's been almost 10 years since I've moved to this city and I still haven't really made any friends here yet. The ones that do seem like they might be promising I just chase away (unintentionally) because I'm scared of getting burned. :\
 
Yeah I have a bad habit of letting friendships drop and disappearing when I get too close to people. I never thought of myself as someone like that, but if I really look at my life I see it's a pattern I repeat over and over again. It's self sabotage.
