A good fad can have more impact than a bad law. So far, libertarians have not been trendsetters.
I want to find a way of life that
* generates income, or at least food, shelter, and clothing
* attracts imitators, and the more there are, the stronger it gets. Network effects.
* keeps me safe from manipulators, gurus, cops, cranks, scam artists, any sort of slave driver
* helps me connect with others, win-win
* strengthens my strengths and guards my weaknesses (biases, tribalism, collectivism, groupthink), or turns them into strengths.
* be the change you want to see
* helps me learn and grow
* fun! Like a game
* includes social activism that makes a difference, that leaves behind a new shed or some planted seeds or at least some full bellies. Not political activism, which rarely makes a mark.

Richard Carrier has some hints about how early Christians took over the world in his book Not the Impossible Faith. I was thinking I need to go back and study that myself. Basically, they created a viable society within Roman society that was there to take over as Rome collapsed.
Thanks for the pointer. So Constantine was just giving in to the inevitable, huh? Nice.
