Apparently they believe, like Captain Kirk talking an AI into self-destructing, that law and government can be “crashed” by the legal equivalent of a basilisk.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if we discovered FTL and habitable worlds, or a stargate program, and could dump all of these people on the same world and then seal them off for 100 years just to see what kind of Society resulted.
I am almost impressed by their complete inability to comprehend how not right they are. You would think at some point, they’d see how they’re getting rebuffed and attempt some modified form of argument, but as far as I can tell they just keep using the same ideas over and over again, as if there exists some judge that will agree, and they’ve all had the misfortune of having jerks who won’t listen.
I wonder how often LEOs have to deal with these guys.
There is a HUGE thread on a skeptical messageboard I visit sometimes about this weirdness with some genuine FOTL ‘believers’ showing up to argue their points with the regulars endlessly. It’s interesting to dip into sometimes, but impossible to read all the time - it goes in endless circles. There are some folks very very invested in this stuff out there. It’s mind-boggling.
I would be interested in reading some of that, Gytha, if you wouldn’t mind sending me a link. You don’t appear to have PMs turned on or I’d have asked that way.
Aye, aye, cap’n! (See what I did there? I made a nautical reference. Because FMOTL people are all about the ships. Whoa! Sailing on the seas of commerce, commerce deals with finance, the Crimson Permanent Assurance sailed the seas of high finance, Monty Python created the CPA, therefore Monty Python were free men of the land! Ow, I think I broke my brain.)

Know this though steven, you are stuck in level two of freedom, and until you abandon ego you will never see the third.
