unfortunately, most people are just not intelligent enough to govern themselves. they need some kind of structure, to at least in some manner be told what to do in some way in order to function. without many guidelines in my life i would probably have been dead from my own stupidity long ago.

Some, I guess. The majority? Nope.

God is needed, there isn’t any other way around it.

Think they tried this in Waco, Texas.

sure sugar, right after they figure out how to merge lanes without a meltdown

yeah of course we self govern for many hundred thousands years

it is only since 5000 years people lost their freedom

Public administration of Java already does that, it's working pretty good for them

Only in small numbers. As soon as you try to scale up any kind of anarchist society it falls apart.

Really, as soon as we scale up any kind societal structure it falls apart. We're living through it right now with capitalism.

Whats Self Govern?

I don't care if I had to eat dirt I'd prefer self governing over a pathetic Liberal politician.

hard to properly define because i am thinking peoples will have different ideas of what it means. but basically to me it would be a society run by people without strict oversight or governance, basically a society built on trust and equality without any clear leaders or authority. where every individual has complete sovereign control over themselves and what they do in their lives.

it is not exactly feasible, at least not in large numbers.

No.

There are places in the world, small places, where this actually is done

In gta5 there's a mock up of a real world area where they have essentially self governance

Of course they dont really have many utilities or anything
