Whats good fams.. First blog

Hey whats good fams. Lemme tell you a lil about me first.

Gonna be 26 years old in a few days, november 29.

Some quirks about myself,

Studying to be an electrical engineer, but my demeanor is sidetracked by alternative obstacles. I do have the tendency to be quite unorganized some days, but very organized on other days. Typically if I don't have anything extremely important, like a due date on some kind of work.. i put it off till the last minute.

That's not to say that i'm not talented. Honestly, i have a gift of being extremely committed to something when i really want it, and I will go many hours on end until i get the job done. I also hold true to my convictions. If i feel strongly about something, i let other people know it. If they don't take advice from me, or they argue with me, i'll be reasonable in proving my point. But if they get aggressive with me, i can really go blow for blow with whatever they throw at me.

---------
Specifically, what do i want to accomplish in my life?

Well, after i graduate, if a job is on the horizon for me, I will attempt to work for a year or so, and when i accumulate 35 thousand dollars, I feel that is enough to call it quits for the United States. I have done my research on the place i live, and the more you learn, the more you despise. I don't dislike the people of the United States, I basically dislike the US government, and most state governments. They are intolerable, unfair, inflexible, callous, and quite stupid if you look at their decisionmaking schemes from many generations in the past.
I'm an anarchist. I believe that localized communities of people whose shared ideas, shared wealth, and shared power will solve all the problems in the world. It is obvious that the United States does not have enough people who have the capability to understand that, because they have been engulfed in a system of mal-education and propaganda. If there's anything the United States knows how to do well.. it is to set the minds of its inhabitants in such a way where patriotism and lack of understanding of its systems of centralized power with law, government, and power, has done them a diservice incapable of repairing itself. Even some who realize how little they know, aren't willful enough to try new things. Those who do know the process would rather investigate the dangers of, or even go as far as to criticize any alternatives before criticizing the nature of its own systems. However way you look at it, the US isn't a place where anarchists can thrive. There are many anarchists in the United States, but they are also quite misconstrued in my opinion. Their objectives, though noble in intention, have to do squarely with fighting the system of government in their own country. My objective is to start a new local system in a country which overlooks anarchist type communities, or perhaps may even support them in trade.

My ideas on an anarchist community. I believe in finding a land mass suitable for settlement, where all aspects of an optimal setting would be considered. The landmass would have to contain natural resources that are exploitable for the population to use for building architecture, metal scraps, and optimal crop consideration. The first settlers would consist of welders, electronics technicians and electricians, architects, carpenters, agricultural scientists, teachers, tailors, and physicians. All other aspects of modern community service would be helpful, but manageable by all in the temporary phase.

Step 1: Tents, waste management, food, water, and planning.
In this step, planning will include geographical mapping of the village, using grids and markers for optimal agricultural locations. The drawing board for architecture will be first step. Lumberjacks, welders/blacksmiths, brick makers, and carpenters will all scout the local resources in attempt to produce enough material for building.

Step 2: The first foundational construct will be a few town halls with many rooms, that which can accomodate all the settlers who need temporary shelter. These large buildings will contain huge lecture rooms to embody all the villagers.

Step 3: Now to understand the wants and needs of villagers, there will be several templates of home construction available. Villagers will be allowed a standard temp structure for their private housing. They also will have the option to make a duplex if it is built for two, and so on, if it is avail for more people. There is a catch... they will need to participate in the building process of others if they wish to have their own home. The more they participate in the construction of other homes, it will be known, and they can actually extend the size of their own homes with this recognition of gift credit. However there will be absolutly no value of any type of posessions of any kind. All clothes, and resources will have absolutly no value, therefore money will never be able to exist in a community like this.

Step 4: After some time, when people have built their own homes. There will be courses of study which will be voted for by town meetings. Those study topics which grab the attention of the majority will be taught in a lecture, and those study topics which are not voted for, may be studied independently by its proposer. Lecture sessions will exist without a centralized authority, however there will a rotating moderator who will govern the timing and lecture bulletin focus from class to class. Each moderator who is chosen will be given time to design the alotted time, pick from amongst the topics they find to be most interesting, and when the time calls for it, express their own opinions objectively. Of course they will be revolving, so there will never be the same lecturer or lecture topic consecutively, unless the class votes unanimously for it.

Step 5: Scholars who prove their worth will be recognized and their theories or experiments will have some scholarly credit towards community development. Their achievements will give them the leverage to write on themes of their own work for community journals which will be freely available on electronic messages on the town's website. Although they will not actually have the power to decide for other people, if certain projects will be developed, their ideas are power enough to give them some leeway in the possibility of the townspeople to vote in favor of their project.

Step 6: To recognize the negative aspects of the world and humanity, the community must confront the possibility of acts of violence, and determine the outcome for those who committ hostile acts of a corrupt nature. The theme here is to imagine a scenario where there are no laws but universal ones. For example, to beat someone else for no reason, or to murder or rape someone. Acts such as these call for a serious response. Perhaps there will be an enlightened way to deal with minor acts of hostility, but serious violent acts will need to be discussed amongst townspeople on how to deal with such. It is important to note that unspeakable acts of murder may require a facility where one who takes anothers life is sent permenantly. This facility would be humane, but at the same time would continually remind the condemned of the person who they decided to end the life of, and show them the benevolent acts and ambitions of the victim, and how the family or friends associated with the victim will never be the same from the loss. This person will need to be tested on a regular basis, and if the community should find it in their heart to forgive, the person could be granted anything from, more ammenities in their housing, to release from the holding facility.

Anyway, these are some basic ideas to reconstruction on my version of society. I have many more ideas, but as you can see, many ideas are based off of modern society, and many are different, but all my ideas lack power to authority, money, and laws. Law should be expunged from society in order to focus in on more important scientific research. Some brilliant minds who waste their life away studying law, do so because of money, which will also be erased from this society. Police will also not be useful in this society, which goes hand in hand with lack of authority. If there are universal laws, such as.. dont' committ murder and don't rape, and don't act violently towards others. If those laws aren't followed, the community will warrant a response from people, and if it became necessary, some certain volunteers would create a system where it might require obtaining criminals by force. These people would by no means be police officers, but volunteers who fill the shoes of this dangerous task.
The world would certainly benefit from attempting such a system... I will attempt to provide further options for this imaginable world. If i get good responses for it, I may even be tempted to realize it. I seek opinions and comments on the prospect, and if you'd like to realize it with me, I can get started in a few years...
