    Same on meeting someone not attached to one view. I’ve quite enjoyed our conversation and will check out the book suggestion.

    Any modern books or articles on anarchist conceptions of hierarchy would be appreciated too. My first breakthrough into non-heirarchal thinking (as in I’m an I and need to be in control of everything) came from an oral dmt experience. It helped me a lot in understanding Buddhist concepts of the aggregates, and mental formations especially. And I see a lot of parallels between anarchisms views on property and Buddhism’s no self.

      Here’s a complexity theory paper talking about anarchy.

      Maybe more fruitfully and approachable, from the Anarchist perspective: Anark has a bit about cybernetic underpinnings of Anarchism included here, thats’s part 2 in a series also going into the group/individual theoretical divide in anarchist theory, the first one goes into the nature of the beast and the third one into how to kill it.

      Again Anark, less theoretical but instead going over how and why the Russian and Chinese revolutions failed there’s his the state is counter-revolutionary series, also available as text. But oh boy is everything he ever does long.

        Again appreciated. I’m pulling the systems science book from Anna’s archive now and will bookmark and read through the links you just posted.

        Thanks for the conversation :)
