Is there a difference between governance and government?

Very nice post. 

I am curious about the "Liberty Professionals" badge, is there a page for the group or a list of people involved? Also checked out bipcot, that's great stuff.

You may want to consider using the #informationwar (of @informationwar) as a tag, there are many libertarians/voluntaryists/anarchists associated with the project.

Nice observation. In my view: **"That government is best which governs least."** Henry David Thoreau – 1817 - 1862

There is an important alternative idea, where production resources are essentially unowned or self-owned (via smart contract locked funds). There is no more need for a basic income as they will just provide the services that can be automated at almost no cost.

There is a war on consciousness happening and it’s so true that the government keeps us suppressed with money to keep us from working on ourselves and reaching our full potential as powerful manifesting beings which as healed self governing individuals would make their role obsolete.

Another upvote for you buddy!

People have been told so often and so loudly that they are inheriently lazy, that they can't see how everything of value has come from them. I feel like I live in a mental hospital sometimes its so disconnecting. The fact more recent idea that scientists only invent for profit, that healers only maximize numbers, etc  has strangled reason EVEN with instant and easy access to almost all of human information is next level crazy-making haha

Excellent post, Kenny. I really love how your approaching this search for synthesis. :)

Can't go wrong with Iain M. Banks!

Great post @kennyskitchen. I was one of those people a few years ago and now I finally feel awake.

 I found anarchopulco this year was a great place to meet like minded souls. Hopefully I will see you there next year.

There's a lot of information in this post so it will take some time to digest it all! 

Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

Cheers

There are other reasons that I have a problem with UBI besides state violence, but I agree that if experiments are being done via voluntary means, there is no moral injection to it, just a utilitarian one.

Very good points, Kenny. Upvoted!

Excellent post.  That Gandhi quote.. Doesn't that break it down.  If you want to live in peace, government has to go because it IS violence and it will never ever let us live in peace.

Government is an antiquated idea whose time is over and I thank all who shine a light on this fundamental truth.

Truth is the only rightful authority over us and

Go @adamkokesh who's running for "President" to end the Federal Government.  That's about the only thing that could get me to vote.
