Corporate Personhood
Hey, here is a good argument for why corporations shouldn’t be considered persons.
It has to do with the power structure. Corporations are constructed of many people, who work together, presumably in order to benefit themselves. Under this model one might argue that since a corporation consists of persons entitled to full constitutional rights, then the corporation itself should inherit...

“On the subject of rape, I believe that they most persuasive case for most men is...”
– Just a quick reminder that the main reason men want to avoid going to prison is it is seen as an environment where the likelihood of their own rape increases dramatically. (via whatiremembered)

The Leadership Complex
We might assume leadership to be a thing that humans in the present and into the future are predisposed to do, somehow by nature or as a matter of the course of history.
If this were the case, any leaderless governmental solution we create will have the problem, or the potential problem, of leadership structures forming.
Some or all people under uncertain circumstances may be driven to...
What When Why How Where Is?
You know how sometimes you just have to feel what’s right?
I don’t get that.
Life for me is a giant question mark.
Does it exist?
You can’t just expect a teenager to agree with you, or understand the life-long consequences of the horrible punishment you wish to inflict on them for making mistakes or doing what they believe.
We really shouldn’t call ourselves a...

About the Author
I don’t like to write about my life, or what happened, but I feel like I had a radically different and hellish experience in my early life than most people had and so it is important to get it out for people to think about.
I used to listen to my parents arguing and screaming at each other at the top of their lungs, keeping me and my brother and sister up or waking us up, almost every night...

Anally Ravaged Bankers in Jail, the Libor Scandal,...
I was told by word of mouth today at work of a conspiracy theory about the connection of some participants in the Libor scandal to the school shootings that occurred in Massachusetts and in Sandy Hook.
Supposedly the shooters or someone killed in the shootings were the sons of a couple of people who were related to the scandal.
One of these fathers was relieved from duty to testify in court...

Perpetual Revolution - Free Market Exchange and...
When we see advertising, particularly supply side or supply influenced advertising, we are seeing essential distortion of the free market.
Most advertising techniques we know of are actually aimed at this goal, of distorting the FREE MARKET to gain an advantage and ultimately some extent of control over other FREE MARKET participants.
Hey what happens if somebody drops a bomb in this fucking...

A Recipe For Socialism
High Ecological Standards
- Set goals for ecological preservation
- Put people to work regularly auditing industry and life support systems for adherence to ecological standards
- Increase funding to ecological improvement programs as needed
- Use standards as a labor motivator. High standards makes life difficult to be lax and wasteful.

Property Too Simplistic
Consider, for example, the complex social relationships that are established during a session of shopping.
The consumer can’t simply place markings on product or packaging, say like when information becomes available about the makeup of the product or its history, and so on, because the product is considered property of the provider, like the grocery store, or manufacturer, or whatever...

Programming Human Networks
It is possible to view human networks, and societal groupings of humans, as a computing machine, and thus, to develop a system of programming that machine, defining rules that have to do with networks of semi-autonomous components (which in this case would be humans themselves and their machines) and identifying prevalent designs that are known to have certain effects.
In computer science, we can...
A Citizen Designed Protocol for Political...
Just as we define standard and accepted protocols to govern and coordinate efforts on the internet, we can define protocols surrounding the addressing of politicians to the people of the United States.
Politicians must be forced to conform to citizen defined standards that have been built and maintained by the public, and agreed upon by consensus.
Protocols should enforce optimal use of media...

Most people tend to think of Market Anarchy as being the Forces of the Market, driven by human desire and necessity, that drive the production and innovation that happens in the absence of rules, or the activities as such which subvert or are conducted contrary to the rules establshed to regulate the Market.
Of course this is what Market Anarchy is, and most would agree by empirical study of the...

Respect has no place in the Court House
The next time you find yourself in the courthouse, explain this:
“Respect has no place in the Court House. Respect is a cultural construct, and as such it transient across culture. Culture is ever evolving and new , constantly being created and redefined.
The symbols of class, institution and the concept of respect are irrelevant to the justice system and the function of the court and are...

I’ve always thought how awesome it would be if people could just choose whatever ideological system they’d want to support and could then practice in that way, throughout networks of individuals who share the same ideology.
Also, I’ve thought about services provided by the federation of these ideological “nations” to provide ease of transportation to one location or...

supporting a party system means that the certain parties become dominant as the ball is rolling and it becomes extremely hard or maybe impossible for new parties to rise. Many people use the analogy that you have two parties prevalent in the US because we only can have two sides of moderation, or otherwise that because moderation in politics satisfies the largest amount of the population and is...

Police Script
I wanna tell, each and every one of you police officers, and I’m not talking only to you white shirted police officers who are captains, and the ones in suits who are talking and appear to be in command, but to all, as we believe in an essentially citizen run and owned society. If you think that you have received orders that have a political motivation We The People demand that you cease and...

Leaderless Society, Secessionary Strategy
leaderless society secessionary I think it would be a good idea to get together community assemblies as a routine, and eventually a tradition. I think it would greatly unify the people of this country to have open political discussion on a regular basis. We should think of some public spaces as forums of the like, and all others to have the potential to be used this way. After seeing the...

Yeah, well it appears that this is what happens when any large company centralizes and operates solely according to a hierarchical structure in which profit travels up the ladder without sufficient mechanism for people at large to democratically control its use or otherwise prevent destructive policies from being executed.

Gay Marriage
The government exists to provide services for its citizens, not to limit their freedoms. In the cases that limitations of freedoms are absolutely necessary to be enforced legally, the government should only then do so, and it better make damn sure and be damn clear about why those limitations are absolutely necessary and it better get the opinion of the public and respond before making those kinds...

Stop police removal of direct democratic action.
Allow direct action to happen, if it is sincerely caused by a large enough assembly of people to cause financial loss because of physical presence of the assembly, those losses will be accepted. Police removal will only be necessary in the case of a breach of an actual law, like any act of violence, recklessness, etc. Considering the fact that there could be alterior motives, financially or...

The Problems with Money
We have a problem with money. Money used to be fine to determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the products we buy. In the past, the availability of materials, meaning the abundance of certain resources like oil and coal, the abundance of fresh land, and air, and the limited availability of technological materials and of alternatives of technologies made money a useful mechanism for...

Local Assembly
What we have learned from Occupy Wall Street’s attempts at sustaining a free assembly with intent to peacefully revolutionize the government, is that our country is currently not able to safely handle or sustain a true peaceful revolutionary movement.

Conduct study to determine whether conversational “insulators” like the internet facilitate greater integrity of the communications, or in certain kinds of communications.

Overall closeness
we can calculate an individual’s or a perceived group of people’s overall closeness to an event or resource, by prioritizing the different aspects of connectedness as magnitudes along different dimensional axes and then taking the magnitude of connectedness that projects onto one dimensional space.
We can see that the current systems of capitalist economy, and federal representation may imply more costs in overhead than the benefits they produce, given the current environment of heightened technology, population density and proliferance of human life.
In the case of remote operation, and mechanization of the work place and factory, we lose more money to maintain jobs requiring human...
