I an a cold anarchist, without particular taste or distaste for words, when I see an anarchic system somewhere, I recognize it as such. Open source ideas are in the anarchy domain, if you think this is offensive, the problem is with you. I restate the basic fact: Anarchy is not disorder, it is organization without herarchy. Now you may argue that a particular project or part of it is only 62.456 per cent anarchic in its concept, I think this without interest. This subject is relevant to cryonics because the cryonics community can't pay for a herarchy based research system. Only an anarchy-like model could be used to advance thing faster than today. Here is no political direct link with that concept, it is only about efficient work organization in a distributed ressource environment. Yvan Bozzonetti.
