[quote=@catchamber] [@Normie] "With enough resources, people can practically stop interacting with governments. There's plenty of international waters for them to live in, but most folks obviously don't have the means or inclinations to live that way." ~Me, on Page 226 "If you're self sufficient, live in international waters, don't have an income, and don't engage in any transactions with other parties, you most likely won't need to interact with governments. If you have evidence to the contrary, I'd love to discuss it." ~Me, also on Page 226 [@POOHEAD189] You're referring to proto-writing, but yeah, it's a small matter. Pure anarchy is possible if individuals are completely self-sufficient. Can most people achieve that today? Probably not, because they're told that pure anarchy is impossible, and that they need to become overspecialized and hyperdependent proles that must service systems that falsely claim to serve their interests. They're also systematically prevented from becoming completely self-sufficient, and many end up capitulating because complete self-sufficiency is routinely described as being implausible for anyone that doesn't have insane amounts of disposable currency. [/quote] Hey I'd love to live on my own personal cruise ship. It would be pretty cool if some billionaire decided to do this to set some sort of example. But no for most people it isn't plausible. More importantly, if it became plausible and the waters were suddenly crowded with millions of sovereign citizens, those previously non-governed areas would probably develop their own governing institutions in the same way as the landlubbers did.
