NonEntity's Columns
World Economics: The Most Simple of Calculations
"It is through asking one simple question that we can answer whether or not something is the best way to move forward in our lives: Is it voluntary?" Column by NonEntity.
Ego/Rights/Resentment/Entitlement
"If there are no rights, then just as I don't have a right to my freedom and my body, neither does he or anyone else. How can he claim the right to stew me up for dinner if rights don't exist?" Column by NonEntity.
Column by NonEntity. (Editor's pick)
As long as the bankers control the value of money, they control our very lives, for money is but a representation, a token, of the life force itself. Column by NonEntity.
"Do you want to 'save the world'?' Save our 'country'?' It is very simple. Remove all laws, all permits, all fees, all bureaucrats. Let the love flow, let the love flow. It is not only just that simple, it is ONLY love that can do these things. Let your love flow." Column by NonEntity.
"So you can feel all self-righteous and claim that 'society' owes you universal health care, or good 'public' transportation, or good retirement benefits or whatever, but what you are really saying is that you deserve to have someone else wait on you--you are the king and everyone else is part of your private serfdom whose lives are forfeit to your own very special one." Column by NonEntity.
"If you vote, you deserve to get screwed, just on general principle. If you vote, you are responsible for giving credibility to pure evil. Voting is the same as saying, 'Yes dear, I know I caused you to hit me. I promise to be better!'....voting and supporting the idea of government is killing millions of people worldwide and enslaving most of the rest." Column by NonEntity.
The Loopy Dynamics of Feedback
Recommended "In any rational reality there would be some kind of reciprocity between the actions of humans in relations with each other. Somewhere along the line there arose the idea of 'sovereign immunity.' And even though we realized a couple of centuries ago that the idea of 'sovereigns' having power over others is really, really stupid, we still think it is all right for hired thugs to be completely devoid of any responsibility for their actions." Column by NonEntity.
"Ownership is a social construct. It is not something one can proclaim. Rather, something like trust, it must be earned. It is something that is granted to you by others. Entreaty, not declaration, is its potting soil. Like love, it can only be obtained by giving it away. And just as similarly, that is no guarantee." Column by NonEntity.
"Think of it. Instead of this man being alone against the awesome and unaccountable force of this fellow dressed up in a costume claiming to have superior (in fact life and death) authority, this clever implementation of modern technology combined with caring and concerned people created a situation where the power was not so one-sided." Column by NonEntity.
"What we are shown is cogs in the criminal cartel, complaining that those productive people they are sucking the life-blood from are no longer giving out such large and lustrous golden eggs as they did in the past--when there were fewer leeches." Column by NonEntity.
" It struck me part way through Mr. Olbermann's articulate tirade (against the insane policies of Mr. Bush and his followers) that his anger was only justified by the fact that he was foolish enough to have believed in the false idea of 'proper authority' in the first place. As though Mr. Bush, or anyone, can somehow or other acquire the control and responsibility for the life, choices, and actions of another person, or an entire group of them." Column by NonEntity.
"The second man, it will be explained by the first, had been informed of the rules, and even if he had not, that is no excuse, as ignorance of the rules is one of the rules." Column by NonEntity.
"Wars seem to create their own justifications. The 'War on Drugs' has created the cheapest, most powerful and most easily obtainable drugs in history. We couldn't possibly have created such a world awash in harmful drugs if we'd set out as that as our main goal." Column by NonEntity.
"So all of you voters out there, you who believe that you have the right to pass laws (laws are things which 'authorize' enforcement by the police), just remember that, at the very least, you are the equivalent to those in that bar room who were cheering on the rapists. You may not have the guts to just go out there and take what you want by force, but you can 'get your rocks off' by cheering on those brutal enough to violate others with your support." Column by NonEntity.
Practice Transforming the World, Non-Violently
With a computer game. Column by NonEntity.
"The fact that it is fluid, open and democratic means that it is more likely to have the broadest source of minds, research and information in general informing its pages, and that as knowledge changes and grows there is a much better chance that new ideas will show up there than down at the local funded-by-the-I.R.S.-thug-inspired-taxpayer 'supported' 'educational' indoctrination institution or library." Column by NonEntity.
MUST READ "How has it come that we no longer see each other as people? How can we reverse this trend? The next time you are asked for identification, consider the ramifications of participating in this system. Who owns you?" Column by NonEntity.
"There is an old story about how the empire was lost for want of a nail. EACH ONE of us may hold that nail!" Column by new Root Striker NonEntity.
