Leo40 said:IMO the guiding principle of ALL human and 2D and 1D occupants of this planet should be
CO-OPERATION
We don't need government, we govern ourselves.
We don't need money, we exchange value; be it goods, services, skills etc.
We live in Communities. The idea of "kinsdomain" described by the oh so derided
Anastasia is a good start, also "ecovillages.
I remember when our family had 4 generations living together; there is no need for
childcare or "social services".
We don't need schools. Homeschooling is growing all over the world.
We don't need hospitals. They are breeding grounds of sickness.
These are just a few ideas that come to mind.
I agree with exception:
Money is a form of exchange. It's a way to show appreciation for a good or service obtained. It is difficult to trade in barter if you want a service but don't have the necessary item to trade. Money makes it easier, but it should have intrinsic value, ie gold, silver.
We should be able to live wherever we choose in whatever type of community we choose. Or in isolation if one prefers.
We should live and let live.
The first big thing that comes to mind to me is to make sure essential psychopaths are identified as early as possible and are prevented from seeking or gaining positions of power or influence.
OK, so who should be judge and jury over others. Who should define what ideas and personalities are acceptable? Who should be able to determine such prejudice and descrimination? By what definition does STO stand as an obstacle to the free choice of others?
