At their very simplest, anarchist beliefs turn on to two elementary assumptions. The first is that human beings are, under ordinary circumstances, about as reasonable and decent as they are allowed to be, and can organize themselves and their communities without needing to be told how. The second is that power corrupts.

I don't want an 'AI assisted life'.
I want trees, forests, wild plants and animals. I want to eat good food produced locally, with minimal environmental impact. I want a free society that works for everyone but especially those in need, not just a few billionaires. I want a life full of magic and wonder at the natural world. I want to live a good life alongside every living thing on the planet.
I do not want AI slop.

"Malcolm X advocates armed Negroes!" What was wrong with that? I'll tell you what's wrong. I was a black man talking about physical defense against the white man. The white man can lynch and burn and bomb and beat Negroes -- that's all right: "Have patience" ... "The customs are entrenched" ... "Things will get better."
