Title: Techno-Anarchism
Post by: The Bitcoin Co-op on January 17, 2017, 11:18:08 AM
I came to realize that this is the political philosophy I most adhere to, so I wrote an article about it: http://www.newsbtc.com/2017/01/17/the-inevitable-march-of-techno-anarchy/

Basically, techno-anarchists believe that advanced technology tends to have a liberating effect on society, and that we should utilize it for that purpose. Bitcoin, the blockchain, peer-to-peer networking, 3D printers, and the meshnet are all great examples. Any other techno-anarchists out there?

I wanted to ask about "who underlie and affect your mind?" if no clear theory this is not a school of philosophy, how can you give the thread title anarcho techno, without any theoretical foundation and quotations from philosophers famous

It was hard to find philosophers talking about it. The closest I could find was crypto-anarchism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto-anarchism), but that seemed too specific because not all of these technologies are based on cryptography.

I don't see why it matters, though, as you can still agree or disagree with the arguments presented.
