Great to see you here Starr! I, too, feel the need to keep my "worlds" separate. I'm not concerned about keeping my IRL world from my voluntaryist world but more the other way around. I created Jaime Jean a few years ago as a motivation to help me get through divorce, then invoked her again as a means to explore my most deeply-held beliefs and give them a voice without scrutiny from my narrow-minded family and business associates. Someday she and I will both be strong enough to become one ... and then anything will be possible.
I'm really looking forward to hearing your solutions to fixing the world's problems. Hopefully we can share some strategies along the way :)
Thank you, Jaime Jean! I was very much a vocal, "out" voluntaryist before I started to get serious about my fiction and make connections within the science fiction and fantasy writing community. I have met some wonderful people in that community who know a bit about my voluntaryism and (I think) like me anyway. But for the most part I keep my opinions close when I'm navigating that circle. It is very much a "thou shalt not offend" brand of authoritarianism. And I think true freedom would offend a lot of them.
But it's growing wearisome to keep these two identities separate, and this is a step towards allowing them to unite.
