Alexander Barrera’s Reviews > The Ecology of Freedom: The Emergence and Dissolution of Hierarchy > Status Update

I’m actually enjoying this more now. I think I’m beginning to not just digest Murray’s writing, but also provide ny own thoughts and challenges to them. I wrote a note that ponders over a seeming implication he made that I was proud of for catching. I look forward to thinking about what he’s proposing.

I will say that “potentialities” is the worst, most pretentious word I’ve ever read.

Fuuuuck this book is so hard to read… I don’t understand why academics have to use such obtuse language and metaphor to get their points across. And the sheer quantity of that shit, reiterating the same types of points is sooo fucking annoying. It also makes this mfer’s argument about removing mysticism seen hypocritical, when the use of such extensive artful language seems like a deification dog whistle.

This mfer is really just Viktor from League of Legends. His predominant axiom is to facilitate the proliferation of “glorious evolution”.

His prime goal of instituting “libertarian municipality” is intriguing; a form of society with individual ‘strongholds’ of governance motivated by putting ecology first to contend with the centralized moral state is interesting. If I understood that correctly.
