great post! yet politely disagree (w/Osho here). although very well-delivered, to say that people are retarded says not only something about people, but also about the person saying so. democracy works within a family with children, or small communities, with older adults being able to provide the young'ns freedom to grow and to grow wise. urbanisation, industrialisation: not very conducive to providing a shared prosperity, with a thick layer of 'democracy' poured over individuals and communities alike, to manipulate (and enforce) agreement. not wanting to face the abuse of power of the state head-on we're not so much 'retarded' as rather opting for the way of least resistance.
we've had several bouts of anarchy during the 1970s and '80s among the serious squatter's groups (not-a-movement). they did manage to change public housing laws - but not the system.
Thanks for your comment and taking the effort to read my post, I truly appreciate it. In my opinion you are talking about the outliers, the few that could actually make a real democracy work. Emphasis on the word real because I wonder if there has ever been a real democracy on earth.
Most people are indeed retarded (meaning they are behind, in this case behind in understanding who is ruling the world and what they are complying with, therefore partly responsible for) and easily fooled or lured to the dark side by power or money.. or both.
So I think Osho is correct in saying that, when you see how the world functions, it is indeed a retarded people as a whole, ruled by a group of retarded leaders (a little less true, some know exactly what they are doing) who are controlled and told what to do by a very evil and conniving group of people.
That last part is what Osho leaves out of the story, which is pretty stupid and therefore I said in the post that I understand the issues with Osho (and there is more to not like about him). I just like what he says and most especially, how he says it.
A society based on voluntaryism could very well work and there you’d have aspects of democracy. We are with too many not to organize, how we do it is of utmost importance. It is all about the mindset and it starts with questioning our individual role in this mess we call reality.
agree, but on meaning, not on form. better to use another term to describe that most people are, indeed, 'behind, in this case behind in understanding who is ruling the world and what they are complying with, therefore partly responsible for and easily fooled or lured to the dark side by power or money.. or both...' ....and including blackmail ('no jab, no job'). ignorant, or better still, willfully ignorant will do too.
And yes, We can choose leaders for Ourselves, but cannot claim authority over any Other who does not willingly and fully informed give consent to that authority.
Yes, great observation, once you comprehend what is truly going on, you’ll quickly come to know that what we know as capitalism, communism, socialism, democracy, monarchy etc. are all just covers for the psychopaths to hide behind.
The EU is a great example of creating more distance between the slaves and the master by adding another layer between them. This discourages the slaves to really get invested because their local slave master answers to the European slave master (while hiding the fact that both answer to the main slave master who hides in the eye of the pyramid).
'Retarded' is the perfect term to describe both the system of authoritarianism known as 'democracy' as well as those people who dumbly adhere to it and support their own imprisonment. The meaning of the word 'retarded' is: make slow or slower; keep back, hinder, delay. That is exactly what all forms of government do, they delay the development of the intelligence and freedom of the population, in simple terms mind control. People who cannot see this are certainly slow or delayed in their understanding of reality, so the term is an accurate one. For more fun and enlightenment, see my article on this subject:
Always a good idea to consider that what might seem to be one thing is really another.
“The small, bright, bubble-like objects often seen floating around astronauts during spacewalks (Extravehicular Activities or EVAs) or in exterior camera footage are typically ice crystals and small debris particles.
While they may resemble bubbles in lower-quality, older videos, these particles are actually solid bits of frozen water or debris that have detached from the spacecraft or the spacesuits.
Here is a breakdown of what these objects are and why they appear:
Ice Crystals (Water Vapor): When astronauts exit the International Space Station (ISS) through the airlock, air is vented into the vacuum of space. The water vapor within that air freezes instantly due to the cold, turning into small ice crystals that drift away.
Debris from Suits/ISS: Small particles of insulation, paint, or frost can come loose from the spacesuit or the exterior of the space station and float around, reflecting sunlight.
Frozen Urine/Waste Venting: Routine venting of liquid waste from the ISS results in frozen water droplets that can appear as floating, shimmering "bubbles" or particles.
Optical Artifacts: In some, often lower-resolution, footage, reflections of light off of dust particles or camera artifacts can create a similar "bubble" effect.
Why They Do Not Act Like Bubbles
Unlike bubbles in water on Earth, which rise to the surface, these particles in space do not float "up" in a consistent direction. They drift randomly, often slowly, based on the initial motion that released them, as there is no gravity to pull them in a specific direction.
Regarding Training Scenarios
It is important to note that in underwater training simulations (Neutral Buoyancy Lab), the bubbles seen are, in fact, air bubbles coming from the astronauts' scuba equipment. However, in actual space footage, these particles are frozen material, not air pockets.”
Oh shit, I have done it again; discuss space with Petra. My therapist told me so many times 'just keep your peace and discuss other things with her, it is not worth your time and effort to discuss something we can't really proof because we can't just go to space and do some experiments'.
Every time I say; 'yes (fictional) therapist, I won't do it again.'
My criteria for determining the proof that the moon landings happened:
--- All the evidence put forward is internally consistent and consistent with expectations of the alien lunar environment
--- All the supposed debunking material (most of which has been initiated by paid agents) has been shown to have no validity, eg, flag waving in the wind, should be stars in the photos, can't get through VABs, no dust on landing pads, shadows aren't parallel.
I don't need further information, that's enough for me, however, I always keep an open mind so if you've got anything that says they didn't happen, IR, I'm all ears.

Indeed, anarchy has three Laws - the Laws of Ethics, which are Natural Law expressed as the three things not to do.

Excellent piece!
The only reason "Democracy" was introduced in ancient Athens is because the locals had had enough of rule by oligarchic psychopaths.
In retrospect, nothing significant changed, it just provided a false sense to the people that they were in control and not their elected officials.

Airbubbles in space?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQyKt743IXw
Head scratch. Water isn't only different from a non-water environment by virtue of air bubbles and air bubbles don't occur randomly in water.
You know where they should not occur at all?
