  • Randos will not edit. There may be users who edit in the future, but it’s not a “register and edit” sort of thing. It’s more of a living breathing guide, that has the flow of Wikipedia (as well as the SEO benefits–it’s the type of information people will search and want to find, and land on it in this format to learn and reference).

    Really it’s better to think of it as SEO-optimized wiki formatting. There may be editors in the future, but not in the near future, as a lot of the content will be covered. If there’s editing, it’ll be submission-based and approved or denied.


















  • The state meaning literally the conceptual apparatus or entity that has the legal monopoly to use force in a geographic area. The State can shoot you and not be subject to the same rules as if you shoot another person or agent of the state.

    The most basic is example of commingling of the state and free enterprise is Regulatory Capture—a Wall Street corporation has ex-employees join the SEC, which in turn writes rules via the State to benefit that corporation asymmetrically. Because there’s a gun in the room, you’re basically one step removed from giving the corporation itself the legal right to use force.

    The most egregious example is obviously the military industrial complex.

    However, because in their heads most people will abstract away this notion, they will say things like, “we need to make corporate lobbying illegal,” or “we need to block corporations from donating to political campaigns.” The reality is that the revolving door of regulatory capture trumps all that. If the state exists to write rules, free enterprise will capture it because it has to capture it in order to survive.
