To some extent:  Maximum freedom/Minimum government.

Libertarianism * - a political philosophy that upholds liberty as its principal objective. Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and freedom of choice, emphasizing political freedom, voluntary association and the primacy of individual judgment.

Being mixed with:

Conservatism * - common sense and actual facts being taken into account. No bleeding hearts. No fake poles or statistics. No group mentality "mob" decisions made because the majority of the current "disciplinary society" politics are based on emotion, hate, fear and greed rather than fact.

Mixed with:

- No million dollar corporate lawyers to run circles around government low wage lawyers. No corporations running the government through political donations. No political correctness. Government not only having transparency, but all persons involved having to be held 100% accountable for their actions. It can be written right in a smart contract.

My Answer: (Fusionism) to accomplish a more sovereign type society that would end the disciplinary society we are in now.

    About 25 years ago, <two guys die trying to save a kid who also dies.  Tragic.>
 

<snip - love, empathy, God, etc>


Some Scientific American article I read a long time ago discussed birds warning of predators (or not warning as the case may be.)  They modeled the selfish gene strategy (e.g., your genetic material does better if you save your first cousin but not your second cousin who might compete with your closer relatives for instance) and found that what these birds do matches the mathematical models quite closely.

Humans evolved to live in much smaller groups and tribes.  It makes sense that one would care for and risk oneself for most persons one might find in need both because of the selfish gene principle and because of other psycho-social and economic strategies.

Some time ago I saw some video of a guy on the ledge of a building in New York with the crowd urging him on to jump.  Not a lot of empathy there.  These are the kinds of psychological things we are going to need to deal with as we ram people into large population centers in order to 'save the earth' which, as an engineering endeavor is probably inseparable from Socialism and is currently being driven by groups who are highly motivated by that line of political thought.

I believe that we have all of these mixed senses that came from our more primitive past and invent a variety of names for them, invent crazy belief systems to explain them, etc, but at the end of the day they are pretty understandable and nothing particularly special.



Nice idea.

But what it is, is, a mixture of God's original programming, mixed with the devil's counter-programming, influenced by God's counter-counter-programming, that He is using to save us all. Many will deny Him, of course, and His work won't save them.

The last thing we need is some godly / satanic cult claiming that Satoshi was one of their own.

Today I was reading this topic on the education of a Libertarian where Peter thiel had finished with an excellent quote


"The fate of our world may depend on the effort of a single person who builds or propagates the machinery of freedom that makes the world safe for capitalism.
"

Since kid, instinctively I have always felt the right to private property and  there is nothing wrong in amassing wealth.

But somewhere down the line, I was fooled by pseudo altruistic politicians into buying their ideologies which included socialism.. there were days  I believed wealth is evil...



Ever since I got involved with bitcoins... my ideology is slowly changing back from being  pro Socialism to pro Libertarianism...



regretting every minute with tears...

But feel happy and Liberated when I think about the pleasures of Personal wealth..Going to become an entrepreneur and try to amass wealth.

Its like returning  back to your instincts and that truly feels liberated.

Are you having such changes?

its almost 2 years and The Transformation is complete[june 2017]...


Now I am an Anarchist...

I dint think about that after seeing your post i wondered . At last am doing work and earning which is enough for only mine and my family needs . So for me there is no time to think about your quotes .

Anarchists will make a deal with the statists.

We end the government and all anarchists will voluntarily devote 5 hours a week to building the roads.

Deal?

What is the matter with you, mate? Been undergoing some illegal sessions lately?

You are romanticizing bitcoin too much. It's as if bitcoin is favoring either of the two. It is all right to amass wealth, but if your whole life is spent for it that you forget every other thing there is in life, then you might as well live simply but happily. And are you gonna be satisfied when you can buy anything you want in life but your poor neighbor cannot even eat three times a day?

How about I build you nice roads and you pay a toll before you travel on it, you can complain to my 24/7 customer care if you find a pothole
