I don't know much about anarchism. Those guys were the only ones I ever met but your explanation makes sense. Anarchists on benefits I guess.
For me this blockchain is probably the closest to anarchy I ever got. Almost no rules, no guidelines and no central authority. Finding your way at the start is not easy.
I do like your speed running analogy. You need to put in the work and time to get what you want. But to add: and even then you will find that there is most likely always another person that is even better in it that you.
Alas, so is life :)
Thanks for you awesome reply. I learned new things.
Yeah, Steemit is anarchism pretty much. The closest thing to it. I've learned things about anarchism through Steemit. It's also challenged my trust in people's ability to organize without leaders. I've seen a lot of people crying for ned to help in different situations, even though the idea should be for the individuals to organize themselves. No one in Steemit INC should play leader. In my opinion anyway. And more influence is gained simply by buying STEEM Power.
And yeah, the world record is 31:07, and the gap between that guy and me is huge. :D
But hey, one day maybe. I think I can do it one day if I can maintain my interest.
But even if I can get a 31:06, someone is going to get that 31:05.
That's just how it goes.
