RE: Doug Casey and I Destroying Commies On Universal Income

in #money7 years ago

Rules are very necessary as air and water. Any place shelter more than one person requires rules and regulations to maintain the peace. If you live with your own brother in one room or one house some rules have to be in place to make life easier and less confrontational. When you get out of the house more and more rules you have to know and watch out for. Some rules are simple. If you break it, an apology will avoid you a confrontation with somebody. Some might cost lives like crossing a red light. The larger the crowed the more complicated the rules get. We reached appoint where we invented governing systems in different sizes and forms. Nowadays we are closing the circle. Meaning the governments now is a source of conflicts and threats to individuals.
Technology and communication have become so advanced and quick globally where humanity can experience new themes of rules and systems. We invented smart technology in every field and it is not stopping any time soon. It is time to invent smart rules and regulations. What I mean by that is self aware regulations or I like to call it, living regulations that has its own conscious. I will give an example. Tens of years ago some organizations, companies and political parties had been established. Some lasted for few years some for few decades and some still exist today. The survivals have one thing in common; the ability to adapt and change to a degree was not imaginable by the founding peoples of that organization or company who have died long time ago. Survival entities have some intelligent and flexible rules that allowed for gradual change for the benefit of itself.
We can invent new systems with new regulations benefitting from last century successful experiences and at the same time close all the holes that will bring some bogs and thugs to the system.

I am not arguing against rules. I am arguing against rulers. Monopolistic and arbitrary legislation, enforcement, and adjudication is not a way to make good rules. Good rules are discovered through reason, and allowing choice is the only mechanism that can promote the best ideas. Technology is the best example of how completely incompetent governments are, because bureaucracy cannot keep up with change, resulting in asinine decisions by ignorant bureaucrats that are enforced at gunpoint.
