Talk:Basic-Anarchic

From iA wiki

Conversation held outside of iA:

<i>I fail to see the mentioned things to be anarchy.</i>

<i>Clearly at least one core part of the Internet, the Domain Name System, is regulated and thus by definition not anarchic. And worse it is handled by commercial companies. We recently have seen the effect when Verisign abused their two root servers to redirect maltyped URLs to their own search service.</i>

<i>Wikipedia has a well thought out moderation system. I would describe their system as self-governed. Again by definition not anarchic, rather democratic.</i>

First of all, don`t fuck up my text, write under it not in it. second look what your're linking to and think aubout it before linking

"The lack of government, or more specifically, the lack of governmental enforcement of rules or law. Anarchy is to be achieved in the absence of tyranny and oppression." Does that generally apply to the four 1/2 mentioned or not? Try to evaluate the world instead of your harddisk for a second. Do you think just because your're here longer than I am you are in any way superior or have more rights? No. There is no off-topic (on an anarchy wiki). There are good and less good ideas. I had enough of this push-away mentality on german Wikis. What's all the mega bytes of space for. Keeping the garden clean, a fence all around it. Why do I have to face that here? Stop thinking in groups, start thinking in terms of the species. And please anwer under this text in respectful discipline.

<i>To answer your question: No, the term anarchy does not apply to the mentioned things/terms.

In the rest of your comment you are making a couple of questionable assumptions about me, tell me what to do and what to think and complain about push-away mentality. Every wondered whether that has something to do with you?</i>

Domain Name System - right. But that doesn't really change anythng about the general anarchic character, far more anarchic (and successful ;-) than most of what else sourrounds us. Wikipaedia sure is built democratic but the platform Wiki is anarchic. Platform + what's built on the platform - a difference.

Thanks for the comment. Have a nice evening ;-) mattis

Just because there is a space here doesn't mean it has to be filled with whatever anyone thinks they should place here. Personally I think there is stuff that is off-topic for this wiki. Still this wiki seems to me to be fairly open to a range of topics. If someone questions whether content should be here or there maybe its because you haven't been clear enough, so that relevance and integration is visible to other editors. - ABliss

<i>The lack of government on the internet is a modern myth.</i>

It is an anti-autoritarian setting where structure, where "gravitation" can devellop in the optimal way. A good jam session is anarchic. A commonly achieved result is worked on voluntary and according to each participants abilities. A good band works anarchic. The whole is the "atomos", the indevidable. How the Drummer is called doesn't matter. He is as much the "whole" as everyone else in the band. Cutting out a part destroys the whole. It has to do with groove, with Zauber. I'd like to start a global jam-session, and I'd like the fine tune we'll improvise to be the hymn for the end of the era of war and the dawn of the era of collective intelligence. A fine term is whirl of meaning. I found it some days ago on one of the German Bonobo-Wikis. - mattis
