actually some processes and organs in the body seem to work autonomously. The heart is one example, its cells use an electric charge to beat automatically. The gut also has a “brain” of sorts (that’s how it was described to me at least) that controls motility and nutrients, with nutrients being held until they are needed elsewhere. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/the-brain-gut-connection https://columbiasurgery.org/news/your-heart-has-brain-its-own
that’s about the extent of what I can say about this lol
The spinal cord also has some autonomous capability as well.
If you touch a hot plate, your spinal cord will pull your hand away before your brain gets the pain signal. This saves time and prevents further burn damage during the nerve signal travel time.
Only PNS will make humans look like weird terrestrial jellyfish.
executive function.
Anarchists when they realise that they have an organ called the prostate
To be fair, I have never met an anarchist that didn’t want that thing smashed one way or another
Wait…
Recently had to read a textbook for my ethics class where it said that one of the concerns with technological advancement was that certain technologies promote “authoritarian power structures.” What technologies did they use as examples? Railroads and nuclear power plants.
I hate this class
For some reason each and every conversation with “authoritarian power structures” or “hierarchies” i ever witnessed or read, always logically moved towards returning to monke, even if they stopped earlier.
Lol! What is this textbook!? How do they think we would feed humanity and meet their electrical energy requirements? 😂
How do they think we would feed humanity and meet their electrical energy requirements?
in my experience:
- a shrug
- an “i dunno man…”
- a vague motion at something that has literally never worked
- imagining that processed goods and factories just fall from the skies
- stealing it
Critical support to the last method.
They said solar panels were congruent with democratic ways of life. So I guess just putting solar panels in everyone’s houses _-~-_/
And who’s gonna source the raw materials needed for panels and the batteries, design them, manufacture them, and distribute them at a subsidized price?
Had a convo with an anarchist colleague some days ago and my conclusion was: this just sounds like hyperindividualism. No state, no central authority whatsoever, ultimate freedom for the individual, whatever.
That is ultimately why anarchism is so popular in the west. If you look at collectivist cultures it really isnt a thing. Outside of people being influenced by westerners.
I had a colleague during the height of Covid who was an ‘I’m a sovereign citizen and beholden to no law’ attitude and considered himself an anarchist or libertarian depending on the situation.
Ok buddy free man, just put your mask on while in the canteen my guy.
Definitely a yellow snake flagger.

They change colors frequently too. True Anarchists!
