i do need to read it but at face value - or what u pulled out - consensus is not a problem regarding time wasting - as the ideas of efficiency are capitalistic and massively overblown + often what seems efficient is just short term problem solving - leaving huge gaps for people to have to deal with later - the big problem with consensus is mob rule - just like the problem we have with supposed democracy in the representative manner prolific now On Tue, Apr 8, 2014 at 7:54 PM, Douglas Lucas <dal@riseup.net> wrote:
The book Binding Chaos by Heather Marsh, who ran WikiLeaks Central from 2010 to 2012, describes a system for governance using the Internet as a mass collaboration tool. Free, full text PDFs available from the landing page: http://georgiebc.wordpress.com/2013/05/24/binding-chaos/
The book describes using stigmergy for work, rather than time-wasting consensus or coercive hierarchy, approval economy instead of a financial system, control by user groups rather than democracy, and more.

But, please, instead of ranting and wild arm-waving, educate me if I am wrong. I would certainly /love/ to see a workable, large scale, anarchistic plan.
Please, no large scale plans, I beg you. I simply wish to see the emergent effects of countless individuals interacting with each other solely on the basis of mutual consent. That is all.
Good response, Patrick. But how do you think we're going to get to that? Without concerted action, and it has to be more than everybody doing their own thing IMHO, how will that goal be achieved? I hear a lot of anarchists saying what you say and it's a fantastic goal. But how do we get there?
