Pawn Dev on Nostr: Polymathic Pedagogue Well (long philosophical post ahead), it's not an official set ...

Polymathic Pedagogue (nprofile…rmzm) Well (long philosophical post ahead), it's not an official set of ideas or anything like that. But the thing is that I've come to understand that the medieval era, though it surely had its limitations and abuses, was a more organic and natural social organization. The modern State as we know it originated after the Peace of Westphalia around the 17th century, where the States began to be self soverign, self legitimazing and absolutist by "fiat", through their own constitutions (the medieval monarchy was not yet the absolute monarchy). Because of human nature, I do not believe a horizontal society is possible, so there will always be a hierarchy, and I think that one that emerges organically and can be disputed is more legitimate. But we cannot (and should not) go back in time, and the medieval era is just history, so we must learn a lesson from it: a society free from the absolute modern hegelian Leviathan is possible, and we can (re)build a more natural order with our modern tools (including our cyber tools, like bitcoin and nostr), hence cybermedievalism. To "practice" it in my life, I just ignore and live around the State's authority as much as possible, keeping my personal and even professional relations organic and "peer to peer", without submiting every interaction to the State's mediation. If you are interested, I've got a lot of inspiration from Hilaire Belloc's and Chesterton's ideas, and for some extra juice, look for brazilian philosopher Olavo de Carvalho's teachings on the Revolutionary Mentality and the permanent increase of the modern State. There is some content in english, but not sure what you'll be able to find. We can talk more later too.
