Our
Philosophy at EscapeArtist is rather straightforward, if anything in our
universe may be said to be straightforward.
Simply put, we believe that governments and their borders and the concept
of government and borders are obsolete. We humans are only holding on to
these concepts because we have no clear precedent to call forth to guide
us. A hundred years from now this will all be quite apparent ~ we will
recognize that we live on one planet and that the borders were meaningless
constructs. Today, of course this is difficult to accept. What is the function
of a government? ...To protect us? ...From whom? ...How? ...is any government
doing a good job? Are they a help or a hindrance? The concept of deterritorialization
is new, but new things are certainly not without precedent in our evolution,
or we'd have had no evolution. When human beings moved from grunting
tribalism to the idea of kingdom & empire the idea was new... when
human beings moved from monarchy to democracy the idea was new...
and of course the idea of a world without borders and/or governments is
new, or fairly new, but it is inevitable. We are one species ...despite
the fact we often pretend we are not.
