I want more people to know this about the Amish! More people should have the concept of “distributed community with intentional norms that has a good relationship with the government and can mostly run on their own legal system” floating around in their head.
For followups, I’d want to see
discussing the issues without proposing solutions
a review of the history + outcomes of similar attempts to take the benedict option
this could turn out to be a terrible idea in practice, and if so I want to know that so I can start harping on about my next terrible idea
It’s simple, which is not the same thing as easy. Not every attempt to try something different with norms has to look like Dragon Army.
THIS. TIMES 1000.
