You didn’t ask a question, you gave an unprompted command without even giving a reason for why anyone should follow it.
I hear something I remember was 20 years ago and my first thought is that it’s so cool I got to witness that! Then I think about the people older than me and want to extract their experience of the things they lived through. Then I think about the people younger than me and wonder what they think of the things I remember and they don’t, hope they have some interest in learning of and from those things. Then I realize some day I’ll be older than most people and will have very few people in my life that have shared my experiences and get a little melancholy.
You wouldn’t happen to be talking about the new data center in Fargo, would you?
I always keep a box of cake mix on hand for similar reasons.
I think most of those are inappropriate to try doing on a plane, so probably for the best you haven’t tried them.
Intimacy and sex with strangers is generally frowned upon, material benefit (I’m guessing that’s what you meant) doesn’t really form a connection, religion is a tough sell if you’re not trained for it and not all religions are great, violence would likely create some animosity.
Talking to someone though can build connection and trust, which makes it easier to help someone find a better path. I do find taking LSD myself helps me become acquainted with new people, so if you’re like me maybe take a trip in search of sad, lonely people to talk to?
Most of what I’m going to say here is stuff I learned/thought about a decade ago. I went to the Porcupine Freedom Festival (Porcfest) in college, the largest libertarian get together in the US (it took over a mid-size campsite for a week). What I learned was hardcore libertarians tend to be anarchists. A lot of what I heard from others was centered around individuals being engaged in their own governance.
In one case that was a blockchain voting system where a person essentially owned their voting registration instead of getting registered with the state. The more interesting one was a presentation that put forth that the best organized groups are in sizes of eight. Therefore the best government system would be a council system in which individuals sort themselves into groups of eight, then choose one of them to be part of a group of eight groups, and so on until a country has built up a national council that directly traces each member to every individual they represent.
Based on those I think what most anarchists take issue with in our current world (of the US) is that the government comes out every four years to say “hey, here are some people to vote for, take your pick.” It’s a lot more top down than it might look on the surface, and anarchists demand a bottom up approach.
If you want an interesting portrayal of hard libertarian/anarchist ideals, I recommend The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein, which is about a libertarian revolution on the moon.
Elaine: You guys need water just to take a little pill?!
Well in the case of this post you lean forward and strike up a conversation with the guy instead of posting about him online.
Ah, I see you went with the ridicule.
Go Bison! :P
Alright, so Japan played Brazil with Hatsune Miku on the line and lost. Then Brazilian Hatsune played Norway and lost. Then Norwegian Hatsune played England and lost. Then English Hatsune played Argentina and lost. Then Argentinian Hatsune played Spain and lost. Now Spanish Hatsune Miku is the ultimate winner.
