Do-It-Yourself government?

Rod Speed wrote michael adams wrote Roger Hayter wrote Anarchy doesn't mean no organisation and no rules; it just means they are collaborative rather than dictated. But there must be a way of dealing with psychopaths, anarchy is not the same as pacifism. In Western culture, certainly since the decline of religion one of its most dominant characteristics has been a tendency for people to disagree or argue about almost everything. They always did, even before the decline of religions, most obviously about which was the only true religion. Which could get you burned at the stake. And which produced most of the important wars up until about the Boer War, tho is arguable with the Napoleonic wars. The only pity is that you never lived 600 years ago so as to be able to shoot your mouth off and put your belief in such a ludicrous notion to the test. Even you should be able to manage better than that pathetic effort. Obviously not. Without this scope for and positive encouragemnt of disgreement its doubtful for instance if there would have been much scientific or technological progress at all. That’s very arguable. Only if you've never heard of Galileo. He was in fact a very small part of the total scientific or technological progress In fact much of the understanding of what is involved in plant breeding etc was done by some of the religious like Mendel with no opposition by the roman catholic church. Galileo's problem was that what he proved conflicted with that the book of fairy storys had proclaimed and he almost got burnt at the stake for insisting on what actually happens. There was also chap called Bruno who actually got burned at the stake solely on account of some inconvenient cosmological speculations. Again, only a tiny part of total scientific or technological progress Never mind progess, at least as some people would term it, in the arts. Ditto. Or the Renaissance. That didn’t happen because of a tendency for people to disagree or argue about almost everything. This also makes collaboration between individuals very problematic as there is no agrred mechanism whereby the peoples wishes can be made known, never mind implemented in any way. The anglo saxons were in fact quite democratic. Much more than those unspeakable Normans. Dear me the good old "Norman Yoke". Nope, and nothing even remotely like it. And it is actually cheap you too. As a schoolboy Michael Wood the popular historian entered an essay competition choosing the Norman Yoke as his topic. Only for it to be pointed out to him later that the judges were chaired by Field Marshal Montgomery as good as Norman as you could expect to find anywhere. Irrelevant to whether the anglo saxons were much more democratic than the normans. |

"Rod Speed" wrote in message ... Never mind progess, at least as some people would term it, in the arts. Ditto. Or the Renaissance. That didn’t happen because of a tendency for people to disagree or argue about almost everything. Oh yes it did, The Rennaisance came about as a result of different artists being sponsored by rulers of competing Italian City States who were at constant war with each other. Painting and sculpture became status symbols which is what led to the developement of different styles. It applied to the other arts as well. The stulifying effect of Roman Catholicism was being challenged on all sides and by all sorts of competing influences. That of classical world for a start, humanism blah blah. Clearly you're equally clueless about everything else as well, particularly the "Norman Yoke". I can only suggest you look it up again. michael adams .... |

That’s just the rulers, not everyone else. Painting and sculpture became status symbols which is what led to the developement of different styles. Still nothing to do with a tendency for people to disagree or argue about almost everything. It applied to the other arts as well. Still nothing to do with a tendency for people to disagree or argue about almost everything. The stulifying effect of Roman Catholicism That’s a complete myth with the big advances in science that it produced. was being challenged on all sides Only really in religious matters. and by all sorts of competing influences. Only really in religious matters. That of classical world for a start, humanism blah blah. Still nothing to do with a tendency for people to disagree or argue about almost everything. reams of your desperate attempt to bull**** your way out of your predicament flushed where it belongs |
