I suppose that if I wanted to encapsulate the essence of my modus operandi, I would say that I am a taoist anarcho-capitalist organic meatbag… I don't believe in a fixed objective truth or an universal authority. I realize that I am the universe experienced as my organism/environment. Direct experience is the ground of being (no-thing), rational thought (everything) grows out of direct experience. Out of the one grow two, out of two grow the infinite. Direct experience is like the ground from which a flower grows; rational thought is like a machine that cultivates the garden. To accept one's humanity is to be connected with the ground of being, and to understand that the machine is a wondrous tool, keeping in mind that the machine is not the source of the self. A human being as an expression of both polarities is the collective universe/individual being doing their dance. As they say, it takes two to tango…

I see individualism as the recognition and expression of one's rational being. The universal/collective aspect of one's being/consciousness cannot be rationalized, being that it simply is. For relationship to exist there must be a perception of more than one thing (unit of thought), and it is through relationships and interactions between one being/thing with other beings/things in this world that we communicate and develop symbolism, systems, and societies. A free society is one in which neither the individual nor collective is the authority. Individual authority is to claim that an individual has the right to control others individuals, it is to declare oneself an Emperor. Collective authority is to claim that “the group” has the right to control individuals, and yet a group itself is made up of individuals, hence it is a denial of individuality. It's like becoming the Borg from Star Trek, it is a life sentence in a labotomized prison of uniformity…

I am a sovereign state of being, the owner of my life, and I accept no authority of another individual being or group over me, and I claim no such authority over other individuals or groups. The greatest expression of love and respect towards one's fellow being is to leave them in peace if that is their wish, and to interact with one another on a voluntary basis in which the individual is their own representative, or has a direct agreement with another individual to act on his/her behalf according to a clearly defined agreement/contract, which becomes null and void the moment its parameters are broken. Democracy is impossible, since it is impossible to represent a large number of individuals. It inevitably degrades into elitist rule through a programmed mob of ignorant sheeple, which is unfortunately the current state of the world today…

Anyways, that's all for now. This encapsulation, like all other constructs, is a work in progress ; ) By the way, I found a video that basically illustrates what I said above in more depth:
