arch-anarchist reading list

 This is my reading list for arch-anarchists that, although they no directly support arch-anarchy, are compatible with its ideas. 


1)The Making of a Small World: a similar satirical work of fiction to Nick Bostrom's The Fable of the Tyrant-Dragon, which I have already discussed in my previous article. It also criticizes complacency with problems accepted as "natural". Here is the link: https://maxmore.substack.com/p/the-making-of-a-small-world

2)SANS CEILING HYPOTHESIS: a theory that states that are no upper limit to what sufficiently advanced intelligent life can do not being limited by fundamental limits set by physical law . the theory was proposed by the independent blogger Paul Hughes , Unfortunately the original article has been lost, that said Everything2 has a short article covering the theory and his page on the Lifeboat Foundation also has a direct quote from the article. https://everything2.com/title/Sans+Ceiling+Hypothesis , https://russian.lifeboat.com/ex/bios.paul.hughes


3. the category Microdimensional mastery in the kardachev scale wiki: the Kardashev Scale wiki is a wiki inspired by the Kardachev scale (a method of measuring the level of technological advancement of a civilization, based on the total energy use of a civilization) that uses real science, theoretical science, hypothetical science and futurism, to discuss the capabilities of civilizations within the scale, also using works of fiction to exemplify the capabilities. I have already favored the Microdimensional mastery in my article " Arch-anarchy:Theory and practice" as a better alternative fortunately they also have articles based on Microdimensional mastery similar to how I used in my article, I admit they made better speculations than mine . I especially recommend. Here is the link: https://kardashev.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Microdimensional (While I must say I find some of their timelines for certain technologies in the more distant future a bit conservative, we can get there sooner with "Accelerating Change", see Wikipedia for more information)

Arch-anarchy

Imagem
By A  [Editor: This article is reprinted from Extropy #5, Winter 1990. Extropy was published by  The Extropy Institute ]    Call to Arms Down with the law of gravity! By what right does it counter my will? I have not pledged my allegiance to the law of gravity; I have learned to live under its force as one learns to live under a tyrant. Whatever gravity's benefits, I want the freedom to deny its iron hand. Yet gravity reigns despite my complaints. "No gravitation without representation!" I shout. "Down with the law of gravity!" Down with all of nature's laws! Gravity, the electromagnetic force, the strong and weak nuclear forces - together they conspire to destroy human intelligence. Their evil leader? Entropy. Throw out the Four Forces! Down with Entropy! Down with every limitation! I call for the highest of all freedoms. Come, let us cast off all chains! We will make our own heaven. We will become our own gods. I call for perfect self-rule; I call for arch...

Extremophile life as a solution to the Fermi paradox

Imagem
  For decades scientists have debated the following topic, how come we don't find life beyond Earth in such a vast universe? This is the so-called Fermi paradox, and many solutions have been proposed, well, I'll show you mine . Researchers from   search for extraterrestrial intelligence  ( SETI )   generally try to look for alien life by looking for earth-like worlds, well at least within the habitable zone of a star, now maybe the problem is that we are not thinking far enough. Perhaps life outside of Earth is so radically different from what we know to the point that it challenges our understanding of what "life" is, making it difficult to find or contact it. Now let's extrapolate how different it could be  :    In 1973, astrophysicist Frank Drake suggested that intelligent life could live inside neutron stars, based on this, American physicist Robert Forward published a speculative fiction book in 1980  " Dragon's Egg "  which deals with a...

WISDOMISM A Moral Theory for the Age of Information

 WISDOMISM A Moral Theory for the Age of Information by Tom W. Bell[Editor: this article is reprinted from Extropy # 2, winter 1989. Extropy was published by the Extropy institute ] In the last issue of EXTROPY, co-editor Max O'Connor presented a number of powerful arguments for amoralism in his article titled "Morality or Reality?"(https://arch-anarchism.blogspot.com/2023/12/morality-or-reality.html). While I share many of Max's sentiments, I think that he goes too far in rejecting all moral systems. He reveals the attitude of one who, disappointed with physicists’ failure to produce a grand unified theory, demands that we do away with physics altogether. As a guide to the behavior of rational, autonomous agents, morality serves an important role in our lives. Morality may still be imperfect, but that's no reason to quit the study of ethics altogether. Let's give morality another chance.                          ...
