Re: bitcoin changing my ideology from socialism to libertarianism! What about you?
From your rants, you seem to believe that the world is currently in the very antithesis of 'a more compassionate, more empathetic, more kind, more cooperative global society'.
No, not the antithesis, not even close. The antithesis would be total fascism and/or slavery conditions. Nazi Germany is the antithesis. Actually, the world has been getting more empathetic and less violent with every passing decade.Social evolution continues and will continue long after you and I are dust. Long after capitalism is little more than another chapter in the book of human history.
If indeed reason 'compels humanity forward toward a more compassionate, more empathetic, more kind, more cooperative global society', why are we not yet at your anarcho-commie utopia?
You could pose this same question at any time throughout history, "why is human society not already a perfect utopia?" and it would always be absurd and moronic. Human society is always approaching - but never fully reaching - utopia. It's a slow, meandering, iterative process.Very slow at first. Slavery lasted for thousands of years. Then as momentum builds, the pace picks up. Society has socially evolved more in the past one hundred years than it had in the previous 300.
