My political/economic philosophy priors: 1. No rule about political/economic systems is completely accurate or universal 2. In general, emergent phenomenon from low-level agents is better than top-down rules 3. Culture has huge impact, and often determines the success of a system

re: 3; debating if communism/anarchy/capitalism is best leaves out the incredible importance of the culture of the people in this system. The system and the culture work in tandem as one being; you can't separate them. A system might thrive with one culture but fail with another.

Enabling emergent phenomenon to solve the problems of society is the entire aim of any real libertarian It's only among free ppl that real knowledge & innovation & valuable cultural practices emerge https://thecryptoconomy.com/2019/05/29/hayeks-use-of-knowledge-in-society-part-1-2/ …

The reasonableness of the system appears to be more relevant to whether if a system is emergent or top down. Even monarchy or theocracy often was an emergent system.

Please read Stuart Kauffman's "At Home in the Universe". I sent it to your kindle. It lends rigor and completeness to the subject of emergence, starting from the bottom ("we started with pre-quark energy--how did we get to avocado toast" explained.)

Emergent phenomena also being a product of necessity within different physical environments. This affects philosophical and economic systems. Different physical environments cause different systems/cultures.
