RE: Fun Thoughts about Freedom, Technology, and The Apocalypse

in #life8 years ago (edited)

I hear you man, big corporations bribing politicians is a definitely a threat, big hotels bribe some politicians to screw airbnb, transportation do the same against uber...ect. And big agra against artisan and organic homemade product..etc.

I just need to say, that this post wasn't about what the gov't is, or what they should do... It was about removing the need of permission to do what you please with your own life. I obviously didn't polish this point enough, and I think it sounded like an anarchic rant, which wasn't what I intended.

All I need to say is that the future doesn't have to be grim, and that we are getting free-er in the larger scheme of things. And that de-centralization is something to look forward too.

That being said, I agree with many things you said. Lobbying especially, I never claimed otherwise, and if it came across that way, that was not intentional.

I do appreciate your comment and the effort you put in it. It's these things that make you grow as a writer, So thank you!

No problem. I wasn't trying to imply that you meant anything in particular regarding government control over our lives or about anarchy, it's just what I see and thought to point out in my comment. I agree with you that we should be able to do what we want without permission from anyone. I did get that. My additional point to yours is that we also shouldn't be made to do anything we don't want to do. Like being forced to purchase health insurance. :)

Exactly! It's your decision, you wanna go to Mexico or China for an operation so it;s your choice, maybe that'll make them lower those prices already :)
