    I don’t disagree.

    Still though, compared to Needing/Getting or Here It Goes Again or The One Moment or I Won’t Let You Down…

    I’m not trying to put down the video or anything - it’s just that it struck me watching it that OK Go have sort of painted themselves into a corner. They’ve put out so many jaw-droppingly awesome videos that at this point, anything less than jaw-droppingly awesome is almost a disappointment.

















  • I think that if humanity can manage to survive long enough, anarchism is inevitable.

    It’s essentially the adult stage of human society - the point at which humans collectively and consistently, rather than just individually and situationally, can be trusted to generally do the right thing simply because it’s the right thing and therefore the most reasonable thing to do.

    For the time being and the foreseeable future though, humanity is nowhere even close to that. Through the course of history, human society has managed to advance to about the equivalent of adolescence. There’s still a long way to go.

    In spite of that, I do identify as an anarchist, but my advocacy is focused on the ideal and the steps humanity as a whole has to take to achieve it. I think it’s plainly obvious that it cannot be implemented, since any mechanism by which it might be inplemented would necessarily violate the very principles that define it. It can only be willingly adopted by each and all (or close enough as makes no meaningful difference), and that point will come whenever (if) it comes.
