I am beginning to believe my bulb is brighter than I had imagined. I am not 4$#%ing on Z and have no intentions of the same.  I guess I am not making any progress in expressing myself so I apologize to all that are offended.

I wasn't going to comment on this but after listenning to Dylan I get in this mood of clarity and probably having one too many Belhavens at the local pub I must comment.  The future is something that doesn't exit; it hasn't happen...

I apologize to all for giving up, but It does not mean that I am trying to recruit others.  I was raised as a brat and did not turn my life around until around 40.  I then started to read and have come to my conclusions through critical ...

For clarity, given the opening essay, there is nothing at all anarchist in your stance - quite the contrary. But, that aside... you write: "Of this I am sure:  there is no purpose or reason for this life.  It just is what it is. &nb...

I appreciate ur comment.  I used to be that way.  Now, I would stay till the end of the game, if, I went to the game at all because I do not like sports like I used to.  Sorry to appear to be the damper but I think I am close to the...

It isn't pointless if u say there is no afterlife.  (The light switch simply goes off and you do not die, the world just ends.)  Who wd want to live in a post atomic war world or live on a raft?  No one that I know except a fool...

You know, once I went to an Expos game with a friend when I was 14 or so. They were getting trounced, it was really depressing, and my friend and I ended up leaving after the 8th inning to avoid the exit rush. We kept on listening to the game on ...

John, you write: "I staunchily support from each according to ability and to each according to need. [...] I cannot support individuals or even groups judging how onerous or worthy someone else's labor is" But to do what you staunch...

You are correct that parecon is not just vague values, nor a detailed blueprint, at the other extreme. It is key values and key institutions needed to fulfill those values.  You are also right there is no one magic structure, bearing on deci...

On the art and digging ditches, I won't press the objection.  You were asking for criticisms, I provided a couple, but I'm not convinced they're either important or apply genuinely.  I'm not convinced many of the ones you...

Just to clarify re:the state, a question that could use answering explicitly is something along the lines of "does ParEcon require a certain type of polity with which to run? Are there some types of polity with which ParEcon couldn't oper...

Well parecon isn't about the state per se - parpolity is...but you are right I should address this in the coming piece, and will... That parecon describes key economic institutions by no means means I or anyone thinks economics exists separat...

I'm just thinking off the top of my head, so I may add more later today. 1. ParEcon seems - at best - ambiguous about the role of the state. For an economic vision this comprehensive and complex, questions of compliance, fraud, black markets,...

Well, let's wait on dealing much more with remuneration for need until the next essay - but honestly, no, it isn't morally sound, it allows gluttony and sloth - very ego centric behavior, and in facts makes such behavior personally and col...
