That last one's true for all of them.
Though technically if those with power maintain dominance then it's no longer Anarchy.
The real problem with anarchy is that it's really fickle and won't hang around.

There is some more linuxy phone Operating Systems, such as Pine Phone, but they tend to be very specific with which hardware they support.

Most phones run Linux. Android is Linux based.

Now I'm thinking about mapping an electric guitar to a voice synth and using a guitar to actually sing a song.

Reply to need some help in debating someone by zip
I am against the concept of debate, but I just wanted to subvert the direction of the conversation.
-
This completely relies on a belief in progress. Work is not a positive.
-
Works for what? Wide-scale domination?
-
Capitalism is a communal system. It is based around communal norms about property and values of capital. Without these communal norms enforced through law, the true method of organisation shows through. The only system that "works" on large scale is authority. Without enforcement of the system, through dominance, the system will splinter and new systems will form with different modes of organisation.
-
I agree, humans are self interested to believe them otherwise would believe in a species primed for self destruction. However it's in this self interest that cooperation arises. A group working together towards a shared interest will generally provide more benefits to each individual that competitive winner takes all individualism. Largely our society is based upon subversion of this self interest into belief that continuation of the community is in our own self interest.
-
Yes, just get the right set of people to work against their self interest, and you'll achieve perfection. They've already provided a counter argument to this in step 4.

Reply to Help! Reality is broken again. by EmberGrove
Everyone has self control they want to do something they can do it. I watch myself through a tunnel that is controlled by entities beyond me and I can only recommend things to do. Free will is fake.
I know this one, but I associate the me that isn't me as also me, even though I can't choose to persuade myself to do something.

How am I gas lighting you? I didn't say you're anything.
How would I know anything about you, in order to state what you are? I don't know you.
I wasn't trying to invalidate you, I apologise if I came across that way.

I did get it... and now I get to be a dark wizard, which is rad... but also not really a wizard.
I stood on the cusp of awakening and realised that the man talking about snakes going up my arse, to reach the man in the sky, and the magical effects of oils... was a snake oil salesmen... and more importantly was friends with neo-nasis.
Changing the topic slightly, I use the phrase "reality is defined by belief" because there's not really a difference between believing something is real and it actually being real... from the perspective of the believer, that is, which if the believer is yourself then it's the only perspective that you have to work with. (Changing belief forces reality to bend and shift to fit one's new truth)
If you believe that when you die you'll become a goat, it is truely real, because once you're dead... You better not snitch goaty or the Great Horned One is coming!
I think what you're missing is the mundanity of magic(k). Most magic(k) is about willpower, and basically convincing one's self - something I note, you've discussed a lot in the past.
Another mundanity is about disassociation - do you believe the thoughts in your head are yours? (This is something I'd never considered, but a lot of people seem to think they receive thoughts from somewhere/something else)
Including animism with this, another mundanity is about relationships with gods, which is more about creating relationships with non-humans (e.g trees, rivers, animals) in ways that humans normally reserve for other humans (e.g. visiting regularly, communicating, showing affection). Which sounds mystical, but is more about belief in what you're doing and why.
The main thing that I want to emphasise is that esoteric beliefs tend to place complicated explanations for doing things that are really of benefit. E.g chanting is great for focus during meditation and also exercises vocal chords and other muscles, which unsurprisingly leads to better health.
That's some of the truth of my reality.
