It's interesting looking back on how the whole discourse of "You will eat the bugs and live in the pod" evolved. The firs I time I heard of people eating buts was on this tv show of some candy store selling fried crickets and crickets coated in honey. This was in the early 2000's and was treated as a novelty. It was kind of interesting back then.

Now you have scientists researching bugs as a food source for mass production and elites who want to shill it. The thing I notice about the criticism about the promotion of the bugs is that it's not so much about the bugs themselves but more about how the elites want to push social control over what you eat. It's about the elites trying to rob you of choice and agency.

The bugs are also probably not a sufficient source of protein anyway. You'd have to get a massive quantity of them to feed people and you would do that via factory farming. At that point you get all the problems that come with factory farming.

I guess my view is that eating bugs on an individual level is fine as long as it's voluntary. Not when it's some form of social engineering done by the elites trying to push some new trend onto the rest of us.

The Voluntary Fasts

al-Sarī b. Yaḥyá said: “al-Ḥasan (al-Baṣrī) used to fast the white days (the 13th, 14th, and 15th of each lunar month), أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: كَانَ الْحَسَنُ يَصُومُ مِنَ السَّنَةِ أَيَّامَ الْبِيضِ the sacred months, وَأَشْهُرَ الْحُرُمِ and every Monday and Thursday.” وَالِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ " Aḥmad b.

“Someone who sets about to try to grasp the idea of voluntary death, even if only for an hour, even if only flirtatiously and playfully, will only poorly understand society's obtrusive solicitude for his final fate. It has, this society, never troubled itself very much about his existence and what it is like. War is concocted: he will be called up and charged with proving his worth in the midst of blood and iron. Society took his work from him after it raised him for it: now he is unemployed, he is sent packing with alms that he consumes as he consumes himself with them. He gets sick: but unfortunately there are not enough hospital beds, the expensive palliatives are rare and the most expensive of all, a single room, is not made available to him. Not until now, when he wishes to give in to the inclination toward death, when he is no longer willing to offer any resistance to his disgust with being, when dignity and humanity order him to dispose of the matter neatly and to achieve what he one day will have to achieve anyway: to disappear - only now does society behave as if he were its most precious part and surround him with hideous equipment, parading before him the highly repulsive occupational ambition of physicians who can then ascribe his "rescue" to the credit side of their professional account like hunters when they pace off the spot where their game was slaughtered. In their opinion, they have retrieved him from death and they behave like sportsmen who have succeeded in an extraordinary achievement.

No doubt, there's something funny about this. I mean on the one hand the cold indifference society displays toward individual human beings and its heated-up care for one of them who wants to step voluntarily out of association with the living. Is each person its property? Here and there I have already rejected by implication the demand society makes on those ready for death. Here the question needs to be asked once again and then answered: To whom does a human being belong?” (pages 93, 94)

“It has to be said right away that the claim of religion on the individual human being, as soon as we establish the relationship to voluntary death, is of the same nature as the demand of society: neither the latter nor the former permit one the freedom to decide how to deal with what one possesses in fact and law. Both demand of individuals (and just think here of Kant who, as a consequence of his categorical idea of duty, rejected voluntary death just as much as any little village pastor or great theologian) that they relinquish their freedom of choice: not voluntarily, but in obedience to a duty to God or to humanity. The religious hold on human beings is nothing other than the expression of a hold that is social and, if in former times the churches denied Christian burial to suicides, their actions were no different from those of primitive tribes for whom the cadaver of a suicide is in possession of something unclean that has to be removed from the living as quickly as possible in order to stave off evil spirits. But even those social units that tolerate suicide, and under circumstances even make it a duty, such as the more tightly knit social organization of the Japanese warrior caste, understand it as a social phenomenon and interpret it in the sense of preserving the species or the continuation of the social organization in question. As far as I can see, voluntary death - with the quantitatively negligible exceptions of philosophical schools or philosophizing individuals (Epicurus, Seneca, Diderot) - is nowhere recognized for what it is: a precisely free and voluntary death and a highly individual matter that, to be sure, is never carried out without social reference, with which however and finally human beings are alone with themselves, before which society has to be silent.” (pages 96, 97)

If we are careless and negligent, where we are required to be careful and watchful, then that accident does not reduce the voluntary nature of what we do. Although men do not choose to be careless and negligent, if they choose a course of action that will make them so, then they choose the accident itself… A drunken man may not choose in his stupor to drive and run over a child, but he chooses to get drunk.

“Well, guys. The impossible finally happened.”

“I miss school.”

“I know, I’m not thrilled about it either. I thought I could just relax and enjoy my summer, but I’m addicted to learning new things and I’ve been seriously considering taking a summer class.”

“Me. Taking voluntary summer school. VOLUNTARY SUMMER SCHOOL.”

“There’s no hope for me.” 😭

“Look, I’m probably overreacting. Simon says it’s natural and I should just accept it. And I’m trying. Believe me, I am trying.”

I voluntarily placed myself under a Gag Order until my Moody Side calmed down. I felt like it was the right thing to do, since I’ve been feeling a little insecure about changes I’ll need to take when traveling in the future. I’m like the stubborn ass, tough kid who refuses to move like a rock.

Manipulation of Tech.

Manipulation doesn’t really require much. It’s pretty easy to manipulate or be manipulated, and despite the negative connotations, manipulation doesn’t always have to be bad. What differentiates good and bad as far as manipulation is subjective. Being volunteered for a ‘greater good’ is usually seen as ‘good’, but being manipulated against one’s own interests for a ‘greater good’ that doesn’t…

I’ve been working on the Voluntarian Party platform with some friends, including the founders, for the past couple of days. So far we’ve gone over topics including Culture of Consent, Property Theft, Defense Against Aggression, Voluntary Taxation, Sustainable and Dependable Infrastructure, Protection of Speech and Thought, Peace and War, and Personal Responsibility. We’re looking to consider ideas and questions you may have about these topics or others not mentioned. We’ll be meeting a couple more times this week to discuss Healthcare, Abortion, Social Security, and Future Potential Health Emergencies.

A Single Axis Solar PV Tracker market is a sophisticated technology designed to enhance the efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems by optimizing the orientation of solar panels with respect to the sun's position throughout the day. Unlike fixed solar installations, which have a static tilt angle, single-axis trackers allow solar panels to follow the sun's apparent movement from east to west.
