“Our goal is not to assume leadership of existing institutions, but rather to render them irrelevant. We don't want to take over the state or change its policies. We want to render its laws unenforceable. We don't want to take over corporations and make them more 'socially responsible.' We want to build a counter-economy of open-source information, neighborhood garage manufacturing, permaculture, encrypted currency and mutual banks, leaving the corporations to die on the vine along with the state. We do not hope to reform the existing order. We intend to serve as its grave-diggers.” WantStatesLawPurposeOrderDiesSocialGoalChangeEconomyInformationPolicySourceEconomicsResponsibleAimInstitutionsAssumingLeavingGravesReformCorporationsNeighborhoodMutualCurrencyIrrelevantManufacturingReformationGarageVinesRenderingPermacultureOpen SourceEconomic Reforms Author:Kevin Carson

“To ask about the 'source' of rights or morals assumes an erreous conclusion. To ask about the source of morals is to assume that such a source exists. As if it existed outside of human constructed systems. The 'source' is the human ability to learn from experience and to entrench rights in our laws and in our consciousness. Our rights come from our long history of wrongs.” IfsHumansLongLawAsksAbilityConsciousnessMoralRightsSourceAssumingConclusionLearning Experience Author:Alan Dershowitz
“Don't assume that the way that one searches and researches is the same from one era to another - it isn't. In the 19th century, most research was done by amateurs: either individuals who were rich or individuals who had a day job. In the 20th century, most researchers worked at universities or think tanks and received money from the government or from foundations to pursue their work. In our time, the sources of support and the locations for research may be quite different.” ThinkingWayMayDifferentDoneGovernmentJobsIndividualSupportRichCenturySourceResearchFoundationAssumingUniversityPursueErasOur TimeLocation20th CenturyTanks19th CenturyResearchersDay Jobs Author:Howard Gardner
