Title: "We are like a little seed in a big jungle..."
Post by: farmer1 on July 10, 2013, 04:33 am
We are like a little seed in a big jungle that has just broken the surface of the forest floor.  It's a big scary jungle with lots of dangerous creatures, each honed by evolution to survive in the hostile environment known as human society.  All manner of corporation, government agency, small family businesses, anything that can gain a foothold and survive.  But the environment is rapidly changing and the jungle has never seen a species quite like the Silk Road.  You can see it, but you can't touch it.  It is elusive, yet powerful, and we are evolving at a rapid clip, experimenting, trying to find sturdy ground we can put roots down in.

Will we and others like us someday grow to be tall hardwoods?  Will we reshape the landscape of society as we know it?  What if one day we had enough power to maintain a physical presence on the globe, where we shunned the parasites and upheld the rule of law, where the right to privacy and property was unquestioned and enshrined in the very structure of society.  Where police are our servants and protectors beholden to their customers, the people.  Where our leaders earn their power and responsibility in the harsh and unforgiving furnace of the free market and not from behind a gun, where the opportunities to create and enjoy wealth are as boundless as one's imagination.

Some day, we could be a shining beacon of hope for the oppressed people of the world just as so many oppressed and violated souls have found refuge here already.  Will it happen overnight?  No.  Will it happen in a lifetime?  I don't know.  Is it worth fighting for until my last breath.  Of course.  Once you've seen what's possible, how can you do otherwise?  How can you plug yourself into the tax eating, life sucking, violent, sadistic, war mongering, oppressive machine ever again?  How can you kneel when you've felt the power of your own legs?  Felt them stretch and flex as you learn to walk and think as a free person?  I would rather live my life in rags now than in golden chains.  And now we can have both!  Now it is profitable to throw off one's chains, with amazing crypto technology reducing the risk of doing so dramatically.  How many niches have yet to be filled in the world of anonymous online markets?  The opportunity to prosper and take part in a revolution of epic proportions is at our fingertips!


This inspires me.
