You know this is a topic of great interest for me. It would be great if people were willing to a) participate in a discussion, b) come to some consensus, c) accept the consensus (at least to try and tweak if necessary), d) really try to act act accordingly.
I wonder what that would even look like here. Especially when communication is tough to even establish. I think it needs to be attempted, though, so I look forward to your series. :)
Thanks. It may be futile but I think it is worth a try.
There is so much potential here I really believe it could be awesome. I think I am up against a fair amount of apathy, cynicism and general self-interest. But we will see. The first 2 can be overcome if a handful of people are prepared to lead by example. I'm still trying to figure out if that handful of people is coming out of MSP.

I agree with the three problems that a discussion like this will be met with. Unfortunately, a fourth one, visibility, is going to factor into it. I hope this is an exception to what's become the rule around here, but the major players need to see the series (along with a good portion of the rest of us), if it's going to be something discussed, solved and adhered to by the community.

You are right of course. You may have just talked me out of writing it, LOL :)

Please write it. Then solve two major problems with one series of posts. No pressure. :)

I agree, it is a very interesting topic of discussion...for a website such as Steemit. In the real world it just can't and hasn't worked, as outlined from the Africa topic as an example. In the real world their are just too many factors that need to be governed, in my opinion, or policed. Even though people don't want to admit it, we are all just looking for someone to tell us to do/not do something, which is not how Anarchy works.

Explain the lack of warlords in Zomia, an anarchist society that is over 100 million strong and 2000 years old, made up of 5 distinct cultures.

I understand what you're saying regarding governance. However, I do believe we could solve any number of issues on our own if enough of us wanted to, and we had a better vehicle for getting the news around.
I don't need to be told what to do. I think I've carved out my stance and way of doing things quite nicely on my own. I think many here have. I think what I want is consensus. A path forward. A way to do what I feel I should do without it royally making someone else upset at me for it. :) Which as far as I can tell, means not taking "too much" from the reward pool, whatever that means.
If anarchy works, it's because a group of disparate thinking individuals have enough respect for one anothers' thoughts and opinions to allow it all coexist, with hopefully exceptions made for practices that damage more than the individual, or that threaten to destroy the ability for participants to think and speak their opinions and live accordingly.
