Agora (Greek) is an open place for markets and people to assemble for
various purposes, like a town square.
Agorism
- Social philosophy advocating creating a society with voluntary
exchanges and relations between people via aspects of
counter-economics and nonviolent revolution.
Do-ocracy
- An organizational structure in which individuals choose roles and
tasks for themselves and execute them wherein responsibilities attach
to people who do the work, rather than elected or selected officials. - http://Projex.Wiki/wiki/Do-ocracy
FOEPATCHISM
- Fair, Open, Ethical, Peaceful, Accountable, Transparent, Consistent,
Honest, Inclusive Social Management - for collaborators, communities,
families, governments, groups, homes, organizations, social media,
societies, teams, workplaces, etc. "Foe" = enemy; "patch" = correction. - http://Projex.Wiki/wiki/FOEPATCHISM
Libertas = autonomy, freedom, sovereignty.
Phylaxis
- (medical) The protection against infection.
- (defensive) Guarding against cultural destruction, cyber warfare,
ideological subversion, malicious infiltration, medical tyranny,
political corruption, psychological operations, wealth theft, and
weaponized migration.
Voluntaryism
- Peaceful life without rulers, yet with social rules.
- The common sense idea that all forms of human association should be voluntary...
with the assertion that any act of violence [or coercion] other than self defense,
whether by an individual or organization, is illegitimate and unlawful. - Voluntary interactions - without rulers rather than supporting and suffering
under mafia governments and corporatocracy's monopoly on violence.
This includes what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own wallets,
bedrooms, bodies, businesses, and communities. - http://Projex.Wiki/wiki/Meaningful_liberty#Voluntaryism












Haven't watched the video, but did look over the list, which was odd, even allowing that it was chosen by several different people. Anything by Daniel "Ishmael" Quinn is suspect to me. Way of the Peaceful Warrior also is, in my memory, mostly hippie tripe. (And I'm a bit of a hippie myself, in some ways.)
The emphasis on nonfiction over fiction (even counting the woo-woo stuff as non) seems a mistake if they're encouraging people to read more as the title implies, but there may be reasoning behind that in the video when I watch it. I would push people to read things they enjoy first, before suggesting heavier fare.
Some of the choices didn't sound great, but the conversation was usually good.
Why? I haven't read anything but he was recommended to me by someone with interesting beliefs.
His first book won a one-of-a-kind Ted Turner award for environmental bushwah, and was about a smart gorilla teaching the narrator Very Important Lessons about living in harmony with the vibes of the universe and stuff. So he was the Richard Bach of the '90s, with less talent, basically. Vapid, empty philosophizing that pandered to the Thing Of The Moment, and got a lot of money out of it.
Ted Turner just died, and Paramount bought out WB that owns CNN. Paramount is owned by conservatives.
Even if I stipulate all that you say, what has that to do with Daniel Quinn's Ishmael winning the one and only Turner Prize in the 1990s, or how vapid and dishonest the book was?
Ted Turner was a hustler who called everyone he disagreed with Hitler. The Turner Prize is political and rigged.
AFAIK, there was only one prize given, and you are correct on it being political and rigged.
I've decided to read books again. Starting as soon as I've fully exhausted posting to online forums.
