#4 Fear of Anarchism


          I took this quiz on Tuesday about where I land in the political world, i was a left-libertarian, which it seems a lot of my class mates were as well. We all seem to have around the same view as college kids in the generation. We all resort in some sort of anarchy actions at some point, like not turning in our homework in on time, speeding through an yellow light instead of slowing down, or fliping off the police as they drive by. As my reading of Micheal Benton: My Understanding on Anarchism 3.0 pointed out anarchy is not an action of destrution but to bring the society together as one and not to have a certain leader but leadership in everyone around us.    



           What is fear? Unpleasant emotions of knowing there is something dangerious around you. How dangerious is a society filled with leadership instead of a small group of leaders? The uneducated America would say anarchy is well without government or violent athority. Anarchy is generally about you... how you feel, how you think, or what you do. Anarchism is a philosophy of liberty. (Benton)

#3 Looking Past

            The Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century was based on education and women's rights. Up into the 1650s education was based on religion not facts and development was extremely slow. Copernicus, Gauced, and Newton say, the laws of nature failed to conform to religious doctrine and agreed that the Earth went around the Sun and not the other way around. All tradition became questionable and when they could not be confirmed were replaced with concepts of philosophical reason. Turning to people like Montesquieu, Volyaire, Benjamin Franklin, and George Washington for information. All of which were Freemasons leading to a new age of enlightenment.
            To live differently we must think differently (Taylor2). A 21st Century person should be more self-aware socially embedded recognizing our limitations. Why is education most important these days? Ethics complicity could be argues as just important, to be able to debate without the need to fight. Education that implies empathy often increases happiness. In the 21st century we should rule the world with 3 logic's: Science and technology progress, Markets, and Bureaucracy.
            21st Century Enlightenment is not always ethnically right. Is this right? Why can we not ask this in a moment of wrong. Rationality is not always achievable. Seeing past freedom, progress, and justice can enlighten you. Responsibly, big society and sustainability, are self promotion ethics. Stay true to the spirit of enlightenment.

The Summary: Theory for Beginners was the story of evolution and the word usage from the beginning of time that defines who we are. Your brain doesn't always see what’s really happening all the time, the human perspective is often incomplete. Your perception of the world can determine if you’re scared, nervous, happy or in love.
