Why do we even have this board? The best governance is no governance

I'm not opposed to the proposition, but how do you propose we achieve that state? It seems evident that the public will have to be weaned off of government, quitting cold turkey is unlikely to lead to the desired outcome.

I have a five-step plan
1) create a new golden apple, and have the polyticks fight over it
2) while they're shooting each other or whatever it is those idiots do, we spread Discordianism
3) Discordianism gains traction because the greyfaces have been making such a mess of things and everyone wants to ditch their asses
4) Slowly but surely, emit popely declarations insisting that people do stuff like help out their fellow popes and chill with the fighting
5) When the plan doesn't work, we just re-brand it as a plan to create discord and pat ourselves on the back

I'm somewhat sympathetic to anarchist ideals. Yet, I wouldn't call myself an anarchist or any other ist for that matter. Others have often labeled me as such when politics governance is discussed. I don't really hold any political governmental convictions, but do like to explore and entertain different ideas for curiosities sake. That being said, I've become fairly blackpilled in regards to most of these ideal constructs lately. I've begun to consider that there is something akin to Dunbar's number that may ultimately play a far greater role in human affairs then whatever construct people decide to organize or disorganize around. That there is a scaling problem and whenever any one system overshoots an inherent threshold the feedback loop between participants becomes untenable and some sort of entropic principle takes hold and everything turns to shit despite the best of intentions. This often leaves me with little to contribute in political governmental debates, because, in an interconnected world with billions of people, I tend to believe that, on a mass scale, humans are but flailing around in a maelstrom that cares not for the particulars of our organizational or disorganizational structures…

The great thing about the Discordian Society, and perhaps even the Eristocratic State is that any cabal, sect and clique can set up their own form of government under its wing, while being able to influence it via the council of episkoposes.
The Discordian Society as a concept should work as a very decentralized confederative disorganisation, parts of which are directly under its control, with others which aren't.
This way, each episcipality, no matter which economic system they strive for, will intertrade with the other cabals, sects, factions and cliques, forming a market economy of material and immaterial.

There is no such thing as no governance. If you think you don't have governance, you probably have shadow governance watching you like it is a spectator sport.

Actually, it has been proven by Boston University that men with longer penises (10-14 inches) are more confident than men with average penis size (8-9 inches). It has to do with testosterone levels in blood.

I would say government is at best a necessary evil, and we are all responsible for it. We need government for a rather fnorded reason, I admit. Faith does move mountains but none of us humans possess the wisdom to avoid the landslides.
Not everyone is a Tamburlaine. But do we really need to sit and wait for the stars and fates to weave new possibilities? Even kings and warlords and chairmen and presidents have some popular sovereignty.

Government is a lot like religion, in a funny way. It gives us things which make the world easier to live in. It gives us a sense of rightness in the universe, some goodness from which it, the universe, may be judged. It's another reality tunnel. It gives us mercy/justice/duty, a thing which the world at large lacks, a thing which mankind has engraved.
In the end of all things, I wish every man to be a state as much as they be popes. I also wish to be blessed to see such a day.

In the sense that we haven't risen up and destroyed the current one, sure.

It's actually funny how far mass media and internet hyperrealities drive them into passionately refuting bizarre ideas no-one ever proposed.
It's like if they started coming here and screaming about how Discordianism can't be the real religion because it's actually just Wiccan witchcraft and Satan worship which therefore implies Christianity is true since it invented Satan. That's the level of Chewbacca defense they're conditioned into believing is sincere. Come on spooked man, just read the pamphlet, it's only a few pages long.
