when you’re young and well intentioned and you just found out about governments you think that they can make laws that make things more affordable and create the things that would solve the problems we face as society
when you get older you realise that people do that, and then governments react to what people have done, and the laws that pretend to are the things that entrench class and prevent people from being able to make the changes that solve the problems
most people stop thinking somewhere in their 20’s and never develop to the point of realising how things come to happen, or never involve themselves in formative work - they work for others, and earn to be part of structures for things to happen that were created by others
they want things, change, but they think that end-of-formation government decides it because that’s the only way they’ve been able to feel like they have an impact on the world. voting for someone that says things they agree with. the only way they understand change is at face value - literally - that the faces look like they do, or look different to before
but its people and human entropy that is formative, and governance is reactive to life and human systems playing out
people, human entropy, make the engine, the car, the phone, the iphone, and then governments make laws about the things that people have done. we make the cure, the machines, we drive the world and then a government votes on control over the things that have been created or done
you vote with your decisions, time, dollars, and actions. and they’re all interwoven
if you want to change the world but you don’t know how or aren’t capable, don’t understand, then you go into politics, and try to control the changes that are happening because of the human entropy playing out. if you can change the world then you go and do it
baby leftists usually end up being the strongest capitalists or libertarians over time because they realise that if the choice in government is
- well intentioned people who want change, but don’t know how to change the world, and so will exert huge amounts of control
- not so well intentioned people who want to remove legislation or actively do nothing/ the least
then the second choice is the thing that least gets in the way of the change they actually wanted in the first place
human entropy is an equation of abundance. governing what we have is a system of scarcity. the problems of 200 years ago don’t exist, because humans changed the world
