Anarchists are not happy. It's why they're anarchists.

On the other hand, rational anarchy is a path that wanders in and out of Happy City.

I am starting to understand the different shades of anarchy and the utility of anarchy in general. From a practical perspective I am attracted to a more constructive and local practice of anarchy. In that practice I destroy myself instead of others. IMO there is a parallel between local anarchy and the Golden Rule that people hunger to practice. Unfortunately explaining that parallel is not a profitable story so we get a more profitable and popular story of anarchy instead. That story sounds akin to "if it bleeds it leads."

Politics are frustrating enough when everything is going well. My most recent fascination is with the practice of writing goals. If leaders write bad goals then politics become exponentially more expensive and difficult to rein back in.
