@boytits, Hey, I've been doing a little reading about anti-state anarchism. Do you mind if I ask a question that I haven't been able to find an answer to?

@boytits A lot of the writings I've found are from the early 20th or even 19th century.I'm interested in technical questions they don't really address.For instance, infrastructure. We could build a bunch of vertical farms, automate them where possible to minimize menial labour and then distribute the food to people.How would we organize that in an anarchist society? Would it be on the community level? Each city or town would set up their own system? Or would we want to collaborate with other communities to ensure that we follow certain standards. (Standardized parts for machines for instance so that we could share easily with each other if something breaks down).

@rich sorry for the delayed response. I'm gonna give a short-ish answer now and then try to circle back again later when I have more time and more brain cells to spare because this is a pretty meaty question.And first I'm gonna tag in @rechelon because they may be able to pick up where I leave off and this kind of question is in their wheelhouse as they both are themself an anarchist writer and have read more theory than I will ever get around to, lol.Also maybe @anarchistbicycleclub because I know she loves to nerd out about urban planning and infrastructure.So, this is complicated, because the honest answer is that there's more than one answer and the answer you get depends heavily and can vary dramatically depending on what flavor of anarchist you're talking to.@rechelon and I, for example, both self-describe as transhumanists, altruistic individualists, and agency maximizing consequentialists. (And in happy to break down any of those terms if you need) So our answer is going to look a lot different than that of a collectivist anarchist, but also different from an egoist anarchist or an anti-civ anarchist.

@rich @rechelon @anarchistbicycleclub also gonna throw the link to and screenshots of an old twitter thread of mine talking about the complexities of answering this particular type of question just for context because this is often a difficult and lengthy subject to parse out.But I promise I will pop back in later with my personal perspective on an answer to this question because I realize at this point what I've provided so far is essentially a very long non-answer.https://twitter.com/b0ytits/status/1435016572922257412?t=6ZkCWQj6w6T4oEssJRjXFg&s=19

ah yes .. gibberish. This is one of those AI bots trying to string words together to make sense right? .. or an academic? It's hard to tell you know .. but I can tell it's cancer.

@boytits @rich @anarchistbicycleclub tell me you've never worked a day in your life without actually saying it
