RE: The Consistent Human

It is hard to be intellectually consistent in a society that is anything but. What I found most problematic when I speak about anarchy or voluntaryism is the fact that most people have no idea what the concept is, or worse, they have brainwashed in such extent—it reflects something negative before you even start explaining yourself.

Much the same way applies to the word "atheism". Most people, just upon mentioning the word, think you are Satan's spawn. I avoid using "socially distorted" words and rather try to use terms that are perceived without misunderstanding.

I agree.

I think it will be incredibly important for the future success of our cause that we create a great enviroment and influence the popular culture in such a way as to make our ideas appear less dangerous.

People hide from and hate on those ideas, things or people whom they fear or can not understand; Fear itself is actually due to the perception that something is illogical or too hard to judge any other way but in self-defence.
