Why I Made Anarchy.wiki
Hi. I'm SomethingSea.

Perhaps like me, you've been searching for a place, a format, to coherently discuss hot topic issues. with anarchy.wiki is to reinvent conversation. If so, this site is for you. Instead of conversation devolving into yelling matches and ego wars, the intent and experimental design is to show where commonality and dissimilarity lay, and to be able to synthesize the ideas and psychology we have regarding ourselves and each other.

It begin with talking with Eileen Workman about the history of taxation on facebook. I was realizing that my conversations on fb were unproductive, principally because I was repeating myself over and over and doing endless variations on arguments to suit each new person. It was exhausting and time-consuming.

==1st Site: Wikipedia and "Mainstream Consensus" - 2 + 2 is 5?==

I first started with taking a look at taxation and seeing where it began, as well as editing the taxation page to reflect the coercive nature of taxation. There are about 15 relevant edits total, 12 of which are relevant:

(rough draft) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research#Synthesis_of_published_material
 * 1) made word linked https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tax&oldid=644178018
 * 2) unsuccessfully linked https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tax&oldid=644178417
 * 3) . Reversion "I don't think it's coercion." https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tax&oldid=644178514
 * 4) . Revert of reversion by me https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tax&oldid=644179517
 * 5) . Another "it's not coercion" https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tax&oldid=644214739
 * 6) . Changed it back and gave reasoning. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tax&oldid=644221401
 * 7) . Individual https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tax&oldid=644223000
 * 8) . Disagreement revision https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tax&oldid=644240636
 * 9) . I then revert it back. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tax&oldid=644328295
 * 10) . Added more context. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tax&oldid=644329071
 * 11) . Included a bunch of references https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tax&oldid=644493320
 * 12) . Reverted and told I was doing original research. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tax&oldid=644494112

Having found out that Wikipedia goes by "mainstream consensus", I went to RationalWiki.

2nd Site: RationalWiki, while open, is closed-minded and insulting
I looked there again and wasn't able to find the insulting articles. Edited to niceness?

Nonetheless, a vital contention that I have regarding science is misperceived - that of quantum mechanics - and while I don't want to be a circle jerk of affirmation, I also don't want outright dismissal.

Enter in [anarchy.wiki anarchy.wiki].

Anarchy.wiki
I didn't realize that wikis were a general type. Nor did or do I understand why an anarchy wiki site had not been made. Which is, as you probably can guess, why this site is now here.

The benefit of having a wiki about anarchy is:


 * 1) Conversations on facebook no longer have to go in circles. While I recognize that people are becoming more adept at compassionate discussion, it is nonetheless an easy thing to lose a train of thought on fb, having to repeat everything that you said again.
 * 2) An Interactive Constitution. You want to point to the words, the reasoning, for what you do and why. This can get exhausting if, as most anarchists are familiar with, you have to say the same thing you just said again. What if, instead, you had a collection of interrelated text that people could explore beyond the thing you presented, with no added effort from you? That's the idea behind this site!
 * 3) Elimination of flame wars? My wiki dream is a social network, like YouTube or facebook, composed of personal wikis where definitions that are exactly the same are, for example, blue, and become group areas, with the number of people sharing that definition displayed. Thus, consensus is quite evident, and disagreements can be dealt with in a systematic manner.

Some Copy-Paste
My Wiki Dream

My wiki dream is a social network composed of personal wikis where definitions that are exactly the same are, for example, blue, and become group areas, with the number of people sharing that definition displayed. In this way, consensus regarding definitions is manifestly seen, and disagreements easily spotted to be dealt with in a systematic manner. In this way, conversation would be inclined toward the making of all the text blue, and so conversation would be constructive toward that end, resulting in global Oneness and consensus, and therefore world peace.

Proof That You're God

Many spiritual people, when talking of atheists, speak of them as being religious. Not only that, many spiritualists also have an explicitly anti-science view of life. That is not the case with me. I am extremely familiar with the atheistic perspective, having had it for a good length of time and still possessing many of the thought patterns that go with it, especially irritation with the overtly religious.

Yes: many "post" atheists act nothing of the sort in their speech, and I leave to you to determine whether I as well fit this category; like I said, in general, I consider atheists in high regard. You were my peers for most of my adolescence, and I still consider you to be the most likely able to see the value of which I speak, and apply it in a way that can and will revolutionize science.

I stopped being an atheist on a rather odd aspect: a technicality of quantum mechanics - non-locality. If quantum mechanics is the underlying structure of the world, then non-locality, it must follow, is the true underlying nature of the world. Or, space and time, our only measures of separation, are illusions of underlying energetic principles.

But does not the lack of the lack of a belief in God imply and mean that I am a theist? That is, a believer in god? Yes, it does. My belief in God is not what you might think it is. For example, I believe that You are god. Ridiculous? Absurd? You are obviously not God? You have flaws, you're merely human, for instance.

Isn't God omni... Potent, present, scient, and all those other omnis?

New Wiki Design
Wikipedia is based on mainstream consensus. If the mainstream idea was that 2 + 2 was 5, that's what wikipedia would say. That might be part of why people consider wikipedia not a reliable source for information. Having no inherent basis on accuracy of trueness of its content, Jimmy Wales himself states that Wikipedia will never be 100% seamless; there will always be contradictions in Wikipedia.

Flame wars, needless arguing, and trolling are the bane of the Internet. The intent behind anarchy.wiki is to provide a place for discussion that has a memory - a blackboard of conversation regarding what we agree on and disagree on. I have started the front page of this site, but by no means must it stay. Argue your case on your page for what it should display.

What I'd like to do is when there is agreement, that text gets colored in blue by us. Whatever is agreed upon by some and not others goes green, with links to the relevant pages of disagreement. Unfortunately, this hasn't been done before, so there is no existing template to do it with.

Nonetheless, can start the process by filling out what your beliefs, stances on various things, and philosophies are.

I haven't figured out the colors yet, so we could learn that together. Somethingsea (talk) 09:34, 25 March 2015 (PDT)

Transclusion Testing
The template Template:Anarchy.wiki is where, possibly, the agreed-upon material can be placed. I'm seeing that it does not update automatically, but changes when an edit is made. An edit to any part of the page will refresh the transclusion.

References are Signatures are Numbers
The number of people that agree will make the number (ref) count go up.

Can the wavy line signature be counted? (bots)

Ok, so now I need to figure out how to get rid of the numbers that are before the last number... or to collapse or hide it somehow. No... the refs are important to have as reference, but a totaled amount needs to be tracked... And then be referenceable. A separate page for the signees, too. It's quite impractical to have a page fluttered with millions of signatures, yet how would they be easily and reasonably tracked in the other page?

Ok, this all is a start. Seems like it just needs to be fiddled with and we'll have a workable system.
