The great are only great because we are on our knees. Let us rise! (Pierre-Joseph Proudhon)

To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place[d] under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.

—P.-J. Proudhon, “What Is Government?”, General Idea of the Revolution in the Nineteenth Century, translated by John Beverly Robinson (London: Freedom Press, 1923), pp. 293-294.

As man seeks justice in equality, so society seeks order in anarchy.

All men in their hearts, I say, bear witness to these truths; they need only to be made to understand it.

Somando tudo, descobrimos que o constituinte físico da riqueza – a energia – não pode diminuir, e que o seu constituinte metafísico – o conhecimento – só pode aumentar. Significa isto que, de cada vez que usamos a nossa riqueza, ela aumenta. Quer também dizer que, contrariando a entropia, a riqueza só pode aumentar. Onde a entropia é a desordem crescente evocada pela dispersão da energia, a riqueza é, localmente, a ordem crescente – isto é, a concentração crescentemente ordenada de força física do nosso universo sempre expansivo, explorado e compreendido localmente pela capacidade metafísica do homem como informado por repetidas experiências, a partir das quais vai destilando progressivamente o inventário sempre crescente de princípios generalizados omni-interrelacionados e omni-interacomodativos que se descobre estarem operativos em todas as experiências específicas.

“We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.” -Buckminster Fuller
