I am reasonably well educated. but if you have something to teach me, please speak up.
Democracy, direct or otherwise, is a very bad idea. It means "majority rules" where the majority could very well be wrong, or wrong for me.
Anarchism implies without an (external) ruler. which means that you must have an internal ruler that is in charge of your actions - rather than have external factors evoke a "reaction".
It is important to "act" rather than to "react". Very few people, and only true individuals, are capable of that.
Why are you unable to rule yourself? Lack of discipline? Lack of vision? Laziness? Stupidity?
How can I be anything but condescending towards anyone who tries to tell me that theirs "is the only way"
I hope that you are still young and open to the correctives that experience will bring.
