I don’t want to fill out paperwork, stand in a line, sign my name, show several forms of identification or otherwise deal with a bureaucrat or bureaucracy ever again.
Is it possible? If so, where and how? What sacrifices must I make? What services and goods must I go without?
If it is not possible, how can I minimize the bureaucracy I have to deal with?
Do you want to vote? have a diver’s license? have medical insurance or any kind of insurance? Do you want your kids (if you have them) to go to school? Do you consider utility companies to be bureaucracies, if so do you want electricity or natural gas? What about banks, most people probably don’t think of them as bureaucracies, but you do have to fill out paperwork, stand in a line, sign your name, show identification.
Pretty much, you can have whatever you want if you’re willing and capable of paying the price for it. As OldGuy points out, being unwilling to fill out forms means that you will sacrifice most of the parts of your life that most of us take for granted in the modern world: health care, owning a car, owning a home, renting a home, having utilities for your home, having a library card, having a drivers license, having commonly-accepted identification of just about any kind, having credit, having bank accounts. You’ll basically become one of those guys who hangs out in the empty parking lot across from Home Depot hoping that a guy with a truck comes along and holds up three fingers and you’re one of the first three in the truck.
Bureaucracy is the price you pay for interacting with more than 100 people. 100 is not a hard and fast rule, of course, but as soon as society gets big enough that everyone doesn’t know everyone, you have bureaucracy there to fill in the gaps.
The best you can do nowadays is:
If you are Discordian, you cannot. It comes for 73 days out of every year, like it or lump it.
You’d also have to live in such a way that you would never need to fill out any forms for tax purposes. Hard to see how that could be done, anywhere in the world, in a way that you could enjoy life.
You can do away with the vast majority of bureaucracy if you have the money to pay a trusted personal assistant. A few of those forms require your signature, but even then, most of them don’t require that you actually fill them out in person, just that you sign on the bottom.
You still have to go through airport security, but the service is much better when you’re taking a private jet, etc.
